[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all the posters sharing issues w/ vaginal birth complications….maybe that’s how it is supposed to be? I mean, I don’t understand how[b] all of a sudden natural birth has to many complications for us as as a species.[/b] Have babies gotten to large, has something changed in our bodies. [/quote]

I say this gently, but: this is not sudden.  Childbirth was the #1 cause of death for women for a very long time.  This is why the "interventions are evil" crowd seem idealistic to me; childbirth is incredibly dangerous.  It always has been.  It has to do with bipedalism, not any recent change in our bodies.[/quote]

Yes. Also, there are many many (life-saving and wonderful!) interventions now that are allowing women to pass on their genes when they may not have been "fit" for childbirth in prehistoric eras when cruel Mother Nature decided the outcome. So not everyone has good birthin' hips nowadays. I say this as a mom who had to be induced for complications and whose baby got stuck during pushing.[/quote]
