[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]C sections are rough on your body[/quote]

But do you have hemorrhoids? Stretched out vagina? Pee a bit when you sneeze?[/quote]

...nope! Nope! And also  no, but...[b]sneezing when you pee is generally from pelvic floor weakness caused by pregnancy itself, not delivery. [/b]Will add that lots of people (including several friends I know who had c sections) get hemorrhoids DURING pregnancy, not from pushing (and the majority of people who push don't get hemorrhoids).

PP's hip-spreading theory is also wrong, that happens during pregnancy. It happens to some people, and not to others - genetics, mainly.

Try not to be so aggressive and defensive, it makes you sound like you're not at peace with your own decisions. Finally, for all we know PP's "c sections are rough on your body" was in response to the actual question asked [/quote]

Absolutely NOT TRUE that this is "generally" the case.  Vaginal delivery is the culprit.  Massive trauma to the pelvic floor and levator ani in particular.  But I understand there's a lot of misinformation out there.  Even medical providers don't know what the hell they are talking about.[/quote]

Eh, the pelvic floor PT I saw for a check up said that it's severe tearing, episiotomies, or instrumental delivery that increase risk for lasting pelvic floor damage following vaginal deliveries.  I know that's still many women, but it's far from everyone.  I'm another who didn't have C-sections and also has no lasting pelvic floor damage (or wider hips, or hemorrhoids).  There's misinformation on both sides.[/quote]

No one said "every" vaginal delivery causes massive trauma and damage.  But in general delivery injuries during vaginal births causes these issues vs just carrying a baby and then having a CS.  I mean, do you not see the difference in meaning in those two sentences?[/quote]

Eh, c-sections cause injuries of their own, that are pretty common - scar tissue, mostly, leading to pelvic pain and often hysterectomy. Which can cause prolapse. Maybe just sucks to be a woman sometimes? [/quote]

Agreed that it sucks to be a woman in this regard.  Definitely not a competition in suffering.

I'm pretty biased though, since my third, very large baby and his massive head changed my life forever and I wish I had had a CS with him.  The amount of stretching involved in birthing what is basically a large cantaloupe wasn't something I did without permanent and lasting injuries.[/quote]
