[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article explains in great detail how common maternal birth injuries are and the impact on women. Should be required reading for every expectant mom so she’s aware of what’s at stake in the delivery room and can make an informed decision about her delivery type. https://www.nzdoctor.co.nz/educate/MBI

Also, I had a maternal request C section and had no issues with insurance covering it. It was only a touch more expensive than my vaginal birth was, and cheaper in total compared with the years of physical therapy and urogynecologist consults and trauma therapy from my bad vaginal birth.[b] That one bad birth injured me and still cost me over 15K out of pocket for treatment over a number of years. I still need pelvic floor reconstruction which will likely cost 50-100K.[/b] So the C section was far cheaper, when considering big picture costs.

My OB said it’s fear mongering that insurance won’t pay for a maternal choice C section. He laughed at me when I asked if they would
Cover it and told me that he’s never had an issue with insurance paying for one. He’s been in practice for over 25 years and said it’s a bunch of NCB fear mongering.

That is *really* eye opening! I had a laparoscopic revision of a severe C-section isthmocele and it was 15k. This was Dr. Puthoff in St. Louis. Another doctor in Atlanta said $50k. Also, the C-section isthmocele repair has a better success rate, to my knowledge. [/quote]
