what some women think is a legitimate reason to have a c sect other could be dead set against..
Well said hun. I think most women weigh up the risks and the information they are given, and try to make the best decision for them and their baby. In some cases, yes they are misinformed and choose to have c/s for reasons that are not valid (like the too posh to push brigade on 60 mins saying they didn't want their veejays stretched) but even then, they believe they are making their decision based on what they think is fact. They obviously havent researched extensively enough but that is the choice they have made for reasons they believe are valid.
As far as "risk"goes.... I was booked in for a c/s at 9 days because of "risk"I was able to push it out to 14 days because I was determined, had done my research etc.... Other women would have taken the 10 days at face value and agreed, just as I did with the magical 10 days over and getting induced with Isabelle. I still believe the info should be there for those who want to make an educated choice about what they think is best for them and their baby. I also think that what I see is "risk"is different to the next person- I know many people at my mothers group can't believe I went to 14 days considering I was "high risk"and I know others who probably though I should have gone longer, but my "risk"assessment ended at 14 days. Ugh not sure what I am getting at but hopefully you all get the point.
