[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My C section was only 10K more than my vaginal
Delivery and they were 5 years apart. However the pelvic PT, imaging, urogynecologist visits, and prolapse surgery that follow my vaginal birth, will probably cost upwards of 75,000. If vaginal birth is so great and cheap why are there so many bladder slings, hysterectomies, and prolapse surgeries being done on women who bore children vaginally, which is a major, significant risk factor for pelvic floor dysfunction. Look at the health care costs across the lifespan, not just the acute moment of childbirth. Given the cost of pelvic floor surgery the lower cost of vaginal delivery and the bragging point of avoiding surgery Will not hold up for many women years later.  [/quote]

I am pregnant and interested in an elective C because I have heard a disproportional number of first hand accounts like yours.  How long after giving birth vaginally did your issues appear and how long did it take to resolve them? [/quote]
