[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one has brought it up yet so I will - injuries to babies from vaginal birth can result in brain damage and profound disability. It happened to my sibling. I don’t have a child yet but I hope to and my OBGYN already promised me a c section. If any expectant mom witnessed what my family went through, I think she would have a c section too. The outcome from a bad vaginal birth is horrific. [/quote]

That happened to one of my siblings, too, so I completely understand you perspective. My mom's other 5 vaginal deliveries went well, both the one before and those after my injured sibling. I never thought about mode of delivery until I was pregnant. I was terrified, no matter how the baby would be delivered. Turns out, I had complete placenta previa and  no choice, except c section. It was planned. Everything went well, except I had an allergic reaction to a medication they used on my skin. Recovery was bad, between the festering rash and pain and constipation. For my second, I wasn't given a choice, it would be a c section. That delivery and recovery were much better, except they delivered my son too early and he had to stay in the nicu.

All of this to say, women need better maternity care. Birth injuries to the baby or mother should notoccur so frequently.[/quote]
