[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep reading that the c-section rates keep rising though the reasons to have them don't. I don't understand why the rates are so high and why it's becoming more and more common. So what was your experience? Did you want one? Was it suggested by your doctor? Was it in your mind necessary? I know they cost more and I wonder if that's an incentive. I am not opposed to one if medically necessary however it worries me that they are becoming more common with a solid reason why. Please share![/quote]

I really don't like the way you posted this - as if it's any of your business why people have c/s or if it's something to be ashamed of.

Why did I have a c/s?  Let's see, I had pre-e and my blood pressure was so high my doctors feared I was going to have a heart attack and my daughter would die in utero.  Was it necessary?  Um, death or c/s?  I chose c/s - but thanks for you trite little post OP.  My doctor did not "suggest" it - as I was rushed into the emergency room and not really given a "choice"

Glad you are so "worried" about what other women are doing about their choices for labor.  Maybe choose another thing to worry about (homeless, education in America) vs. who bring children into the world and how.

Oy honey, you took it the wrong way. The question was about doctors making these choices more often than what (per some articles say) is recommended. It's a growing trend and I am concerned about medical interventions that are not needed because it affects how my OB may act during my delivery. I don't understand why the increase without the medical need increasing too. Or maybe there is more reasons and I am seeking to learn more about it. I don't personally care what choices people make for their own delivery, it all sounds wonderful if it works for the mom and baby. Really I would never think "less" of someone for how the baby comes out. That's silly. I am selfishly worrying about myself and the growing trend. What kind of things happen and how common are they? Since most of us are not medical professionals I think the decision is being made by the doctors. I was hoping to learn more about it, maybe get some articles or further reading. No need to get offended, at least that was not the intention. Have a good one![/quote]

Seriously?  You are coming to DCUM to bone up on statistical evidence of a medical trend. Lord help you. [/quote]
