[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe anyone would opt for a c-section if it wasn't necessary. Cutting through several layers, including muscle, to deliver the baby. The recovery is difficult and painful. [/quote]

My mom had to have major reconstructive surgery as a result of her vaginal births so she ended up getting cut open anyway. My c sections were all easy and uncomplicated and I don't have prolapse and pelvic floor issues and won't need to have my bladder reconstructed.[/quote]

[b]Pelvic floor and bladder issues are related to pregnancy. Not simply birth method. [/b]I’d advise you to keep this in mind closer to menopause as your family may be predisposed to them. I’m sorry your mother suffered and hope you do not. 💗

Sharing more for others, in case they are struggling and had c section. [/quote]

This is what NCB advocates who pee when they sneeze tell themselves.  Ever since I heard this gem I've asked friends who are moms whether they have any bladder or pelvic floor issues post-partum.  I've been asking for ~7 years.  In my informal polling, not a single c-section mom has these issues, even the ones with twins or the one with triplets.  [/quote]

You realize PF dysfunction is more than leaking or prolapse right? The PF is not just the vagina and the emphasis on only pushing PF issues shows some of yalls ignorance. 
 Theres hypertonic PF which DIRECTLY influences vaginal birth. Urinary urgency or frequency aka "just in case" pees, straining to poop, leaking, pain in back/hips/groin/pelvis, pain during sex, etc. 
If in the 7 years of your questioning none of the women experienced the above, then you found golden women. I have also found that women are not super open about this stuff or brush it off in a funny,self-deprecating way because its just what happens to women. 
If PF were only related to vaginal birth then women who havent given birth and men wouldnt experience it either.

and the presence of them in non-vaginally birthing populations means that vaginal birth contributes or increases those issues and is why a PFPT evaluation prior to childbirth should be normalized. And why PFPTs and other professionals have been advocating for more PF friendly vaginal birth practices but OBs and the nurses are usually the ones pushing the outdated guidance[/quote]
