[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]doing something that women have done for millennia, and continue to do, without intervention [/quote] To be blunt, what women have been doing for millennia= dying of complications of natural childbirth that are readily preventable with modern medical interventions. By itself, the Zavanelli followed by a splash and slash crash C-section probably saves thousands of lives a year.[/quote] And the Gaskin maneuver has probably saved just as many women from your charmingly named “splash and slash.” Look, there are definitely mothers and babies who would not be here (or be doing as well as they are) without medical intervention. But there are also many who were subjected to excessive interventions, one-size-fits-all approaches, and other attitudes and habits that were not exactly evidence-based, and sometimes downright harmful. [/quote] The Gaskin maneuver is an intervention, no?[/quote]
