[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are definitely a lot of people invested in minimizing vaginal birth injuries in women.[/quote]

And by minimizing, I mean pretending they don't happen and shaming those who experience them.[/quote]

[B]Sure.  Just like there are a lot of people invested in minimizing the risks of C-sections.[/b]

The real issue is that people minimize WOMEN'S health issues, and pregnancy/L&D are one of the most glaring examples.

OP, in your case, you're doing what's safest for the baby and for you.  That's what's better about a C-section for you.  Many of the planning benefits you can get with induction, and no one knows exactly how things will go in either case.  But for you, this option is safest.  It's great that you have it!  I hope all goes well.[/quote]

The bolded is inaccurate for DCUM, and in my experience, inaccurate for outside of DCUM too. I heard far more about risks associated with C-sections than with vaginal birth. When I scheduled mine, I had people freely tell me about all the awful things that would happen to me (none of which occurred). People asked me why I wouldn't "just try." You see it on DCUM threads. I have seen posters with severe vaginal birth injuries told to stop posting. I had one woman tell me I didn't have a birth, I just had a surgery.  :roll: [/quote]
