[quote=Anonymous]There is nothing to support with C-section births except risks and some other interventions (delayed cord clamping, immediate skin to skin, nursing immediately, etc.) that are all provider dependent meaning you can want that and advocate for them but if they dont believe in them/dont agree then they arent happening. C-sections are also surgeries, there are x number of things to do, x number of things that usually go wrong with known interventions/ways to manage and there is a safety in that.

Vaginal births are 100% behind the literature because they involve a LOT of support that requires time and time is money in hospitals. A lot of it is also risk mitigation. Many providers have not been trained in delivering babies where the women is in non-lithotomy position and therefore, they wont deliver women in any other position. So even if you are successfully delivering on all fours theyll have you turn around. Laying on your back with your legs up actually decreases the spacing between your pelvic bones which is pretty counterintuitive. Labor is full of spectrums and possibilities.

Its funny because I went with midwives assuming they would have all these different positions/options and the midwife who attended my labor actually did something contraindicated (did not know that then) and this was the only thing she tried. No ball, no squat bar, no tugging back and forth with a scarf, no peanut ball, nothing. Conversely, I had multiple friends tell me their nurses or OB/GYNs suggested stuff like that for them. These experiences were in the same hospital mind you.

It is kind of a crapshoot going in your first time and by the second time you know better. You have better expectations, knowledge, and awareness about your limits and needs. [/quote]
