The very fact that someone would choose a c-section seems to have blown the minds of a few members who. just. can't. accept. it.<br /><br />And then a whole bunch of zombies were dug up and let out to play (zombie = an idea that has been conclusively disproved but refuses to die).<br /><br />We are so far ideologically from patient-centered maternity care because of the pervasiveness of the natural/ vaginal is best bias. It's hurting women that don't share that value set.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407024528817445986.post-5553555605372976982012-11-12T22:44:08.252-08:002012-11-12T22:44:08.252-08:00Best of luck to you and your family - may you have...Best of luck to you and your family - may you have every happiness and the support and care you need as you look to expanding your family.

My husband and I had decided to limit our family size because I could not take the psychological trauma of a vaginal birth again. Even with the epidural, I was left feeling vulnerable and out of control of my own body. It was not something I was willing to repeat. On the other hand, I have had abdominal surgery. While there was pain the control of the events made them easily bearable. Thank you for showing me I can have more children without having to go through such suffering again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
