[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic floor injuries are  rarely, if ever, discussed in childbirth preparation courses and books. It is a dirty secret of women’s health and only in the last few years is it getting more attention. Many gynecologists also don’t even routinely look for it or know how to appropriately assess for prolapse (hint: in a standing position, not lithotomy).

I’m still waiting for your citation how dangerous C sections are. Also, are you talking scheduled C section or emergent C section done when the plan was for vaginal deliver and the mom is in labor. Those are two very different scenarios and comparing the mortality rates is like mixing apples and oranges. [/quote]

Use PubMed, no one has to do your research for you. You can move your goalposts all you want for emergent vs schedule, the dead women are the ones who had c-sections. Especially the WOC.

I’m sorry your doctor didn’t discuss prolapse with you. It was on the list of complications on the informed consent form for both vaginal and c-section delivery, which I insisted my doctor review point by point (and suggest everyone else should too).[/quote]

And the research shows that often it’s the indications for the C section that cause the death, not the C section itself. You would know that if you read the evidence.

And which hospital did your doctor do this with you? I would love to know which hospital is sharing full risks for vaginal delivery, operative delivery, and C section. [/quote]
