Natural birth vs. C section
Reading an article recently I was suprised to read that it said C sections are becoming increasingly more popular among women. The article pointed out that planned C sections were a very good alternative to the last minute decision to have a C section after trying to deliver naturally during labor but failing to do so. Natural birth should be pursued as first option in my opinion, and a C section should be viewed as a last resort. You have probably heard of the situations where the baby would be born in breach and because of this a C section was recommended... this situation would be one where more weight would be given to the consideration of having a C section. Other than this though, I think that a natural birth ( while alot more work) would be the healthier way to deliver for both the mother and the child.
It has been said that some studies show that delivering by C section will cause respiratory problems for the child in later on. Have you had a C section? How was your C section experience. Have you delivered by natural birth? Would you change to a C section if you had to do it again? Please let us know what you think...
Oh and BTW, if you want to read an article on C section you can do so here... C section We don't agree with their premise though. Given the opportunity, we personally believe that a Natural birth should always be taken as the first choice for delivery. What do you think?

I'm with you - the increased in C-sections, especially "convenience C-sections", is alarming. It's clearly not as healthy for the woman or baby: we have either a) millions of years of evolution or b) God's design surrounding vaginal birth, so using a knife as an alternative in all but the most exceptional cases is just a bad idea in my book. :-\

Unfortunately, my sister had to experience a C section after 36 hours of hard labor, she simply became exhausted and because the aminiotic fluid had been released it was not healthy for the baby to stay any longer. She will try natural child birth with her next child, the recovery was long and difficult.

Some People may look at you oddly when you say this but I think that natural birth should always be considered first.

Thanks for the posting. My friend is pregnant and scheduled
for a c-section in a few months. Since you can be fairly sore
afterwards, I bought her a adirondack rocking chair for her
and her new son. I hope she likes it.
