i like to learn everyting about vagina childbirth and labor for CD,DVD and movie.

i have just read your article on c sections, i had two c sections not by choice, my first born was in distress, her hearbeat had slowed dramitacaly and she had passed merconium inside me, and would not have been born healthy if i did not have a c section, my son was also born by c section after 2 failed attempts at induction and due to the risks involved with inducing labour due to having a previous section, i was advised to opt for another c section. some people do not have a choice and many babies(and mothers) would die or the babies suffer severe problems like cerebal palsy if this procedure was not carried out. your article is a complete load of rubbish!! i am all for natural childbirth but for some women a c section is the only option, my children are both healthy and do not appear affected by their “barbaric” entry into the world.

@sam larbey:

Thanks for writing! I have to wonder what caused the distress, heartbeat issues and meconium in your firstborn. Oftentimes, the care providers are the ones who create the need for a cesarean with inductions, immobile positions, horizontal birthing positions, etc.

The point is that most are unnecessary but I do not think anyone will argue that 5% or so do save lives. Please read Pushed by Jennifer Block to learn more.

I am very happy that you and your babies are healthy however. Congratulations!
