[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an emergency C-section. Early on in the induction we started losing his heartbeat. They did a spinal.

Was the decrease in heart rate due to the induction?[/quote]

Yes! 100%

[b]But these crazy DCUMmers will try to fight you if you educate them on that. They'd rather prefer to believe their baby would have died without their EmErGeNcY c section. [/b]

Also true- if it's an actual emergency they will knock you out with general anesthesia. Otherwise, it's just an unplanned cesarean. [/quote]

With respect, I think you’re blaming the victim here.  Women are *told* their baby will die if they don’t have a c-section.  Retrospectively of course they might realize a genuine emergency isn’t “you get to push for ten more minutes and then I’m going to commit assault with a deadly weapon” but in the moment? And, again, most people aren’t read up on the difference between emergency and unplanned— my sister first heard her c/section wasn’t an “emergency” when she moved and had her records transferred to a new OB.  Also, feeling like you made a choice that saved your baby’s life is likely deeply comforting for women who experience serious complications following surgical delivery.[/quote]
