[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want more children, try for induction.

If you’re one and done, c-section.[/quote]

This is rote advice for a standard pregnancy.  It's terrible and dangerous advice for someone with a placental abruption.  And c-sections are only an issue if you want 4+ pregnancies, not just "more than one."

As a second time mom, I can see in hindsight that I was really snowed by a lot of the vaginal or bust pressure the first time, but seeing people pushing this woman into risking her baby's life to "attempt" a vaginal birth is really beyond anything.  Might as well be a bunch of loons telling her to give birth in a tub by herself under the full moon because Womyn Power or something.[/quote]

That’s not true. C sections result in higher rates of subsequent miscarriages and stillbirth, so even a complicated pregnancy who really wanted a second child should try to avoid one.[/quote]

Absolutely not.  A population study found a 0.03% increased risk of stillbirth for women who had a c vs. Spontaneous vaginal delivery (and no increase for miscarriage) but the study did not address any confounding variables.  What that means is that it is a CORRELATION found in one Danish study, not "C sections result in" (causation). Scaremonger elsewhere. 
 "Limitations include incomplete data on maternal body mass index, maternal smoking, fertility treatment, causes of stillbirth, and maternally requested cesarean section, as well as lack of data on antepartum/intrapartum stillbirth and gestational age for stillbirth and miscarriage."  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4077571/[/quote]
I'm sorry, you're dead wrong. C-sections cause tons of complications in future pregnancies. Placenta previa. C-section isthmoceles cause infertility. Higher risk of hysterectomy down the road. Infections. Most women who've had a C don't even try TOLAC. Deadlier to mother. And I was one of the people advocating for the C. Csecs cause tons of problems. I've only had 2 and I have been told by 3 different OBs to stop because I had complications. [/quote]

No, I'm not dead wrong.  The statement "C sections result in higher rates of subsequent miscarriages and stillbirth" is objectively false.  It is a false statement, and your comment has nothing to do with it or my response.  [/quote]
