[quote=Anonymous]Re: the PP, yes women’s issues are minimized but the reality is that informed consent for vaginal birth and operative vaginal birth does not happen now the way it does for a c-section. Furthermore, women’s injuries from birth are routinely downplayed and dismissed as mere “quality of life” issues. If the WHO actually calculated the cost of birth injuries over the course of a woman’s lifetime ie bladder surgeries, prolapse surgeries, pelvic floor PT, incontinence supplies, pessaries, early admission to nursing homes for incontinence etc, I suspect the costs might bear out quite differently.

The issue is not what mode of birth should we be prioritizing and advocating for, but how can we prioritize women’s and babies’ health both in the long and short term and minimize the risks and damage childbirth can do to women’s bodies—and then make delivery decisions based on women having a solid understanding of what her risks are for all modes of birth. The issue of c section vs vaginal birth is a massive oversimplification of a complex issue that requires individualized care and informed decision making—which means disclosing full risks of all kinds of birth.[/quote]
