[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]

Then it’s great that we have lots of interventional methods, but for pelvic floor issues,prolapsing, tears, if these things have always been as such, doesn’t; it make more sense to focus on preventative measures  that don’t include major surgery (c-section). Either that, or we need to completely overhaul woman’s health so that all of these secondary issues are covered by insurance, more studies for treatments, increased maternity leave, etc. I don’t think intervention is but the idea that intervention is the norm also seems like a skewed approach to me.
