[quote=Anonymous]The word unnecessary indicates that something, in hindsight, was unwarranted or inappropriate. It’s impossible to ever know the outcomes for any other form of birth than the one that delivered the child so let’s not go down that rabbit hole. There are C-sections that are wanted and those that are not. I’m suggesting  that women be equally informed of the risks of
Both modes of birth and be allowed to make their own choice. Rather than vaginal birth being the default when it comes
with plenty of life-altering downsides for many women. It is pretty much the default now that you don’t find out about these risks until after you give birth and then have to life with the life-long repercussions if you are one of the unlucky ones.

My own vaginal birth was the worst experience of my entire life. It was not anecdotal. It was the day I became injured so badly that I am no longer able to run or jump without discomfort, sneeze without leaking, wear tampons, have enjoyable and pleasurable sex, wear tampons or cups, and empty my rectum normally. And far too many women like me after vaginal birth have similar injuries. - levator ani injury, nerve injury, fascial tears, vaginal/vulvar injuries, anal and or urinary incontinence, painful sex, prolapse, etc.

If you look at surgical rates among older women for prolapse and incontinence, you will see there is a vast ocean of women who bear the brunt of these injuries silently and suffer. I’m not promoting C-sections, I’m promoting informed consent for women so they can make the right choice for themselves. [/quote]
