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?
