[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please, do you really think you know all the downsides of vaginal deliveries the way you know about the downsides of C sections? Do you really have any clue about vaginal
 Birth injuries like pelvic organ prolapse, levator ani avulsion, fistula, anal incontinence, torn anal sphincter, etc? Do you really know about stress incontinence, or flatal incontinence or vaginal laxity? Do you really know about how women with prolapse can frequently experience air trapped in the vagina (aka queefing) just from moving around, can’t often have IUDs due to the fact that they get dislodged, can’t often retain or wear tampons, and more? Or about how women can experience PTSD from long labors and difficult
Births? I’m going to guess not. Because hardly anyone ever talks about this stuff. But there’s a reason urogynecologists and colorectal surgeons and pelvic floor PTs are in business. [/quote]

I don’t think I know [i]every possible[/i] complication of either c-section or vaginal delivery. I certainly know all of the common ones of both, and every one you mentioned  (though I am sure you know c-section does not prevent prolapse, since that is primarily caused by [b]carrying[/b] the baby, not delivery).

I also think, again, OP knows more about her own circumstances and what she wants for her delivery than we do, so we should take her at her word and answer her pretty straightforward request for information rather than telling her her birth preference is uninformed…[/quote]

Prolapse is most Often caused by vaginal Birth. You have no clue what you’re talking about. [/quote]

But maybe UPenn does, anonymous internet poster?
