[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe some of you scheduled cs because you couldn't have an epidural. Or that your OB went along with that awful decision. WOW. [/quote] I didn't get that from anyone's story [/quote] I think that was me. I was the one in a foreign country where they don't do epidurals (I think they will give IV pain meds, though; I never explored that option), and I wanted my mom to come. I am completely happy with my decision, and the subsequent c-sections I've had, so I didn't feel the need to respond. I will say one more thing: the risks are higher for the *mother* in c-sections, but lower in many aspects for the baby. They keep finding other possible reasons vaginal birth is good for the baby (bacteria in the birth canal, squeezing the lungs), but risks to the *baby* are not the reason to avoid c-section.[/quote]
