[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

The peer reviewed research says c-section should [b]not[/b] be used to avoid prolapse but there not what that particular poster is selling.  Using an intervention that raises the mothers risk of death seven fold to avoid prolapse seems extreme to me, but that’s also because I view the situation not only as the mother of the child I’m carrying,  but also the mother of the child at home. I owe it to her to get her mother back home to her. [/quote]

Ok I would love to see citations for these claims. 7 fold risk of death? According to who - ICAN? MANA? Smdh. [/quote]
