I would be curious to find out how many women had unnecessary c sections but were told they had no choice. I was told my baby was 'stuck' and had an emergency c section and forceps to pull my baby back out (he was too low I was told). Also my labour had stopped. I was given two bags of Syntocin and had no idea till after DS was here that the drug was most probably the reason labour had halted. I feel I trusted my OB too much, I took everything that was said as gospel truth. Homebirth for us next time round.
Sushee i think the word "shame" is the problem too, people aren't reading past it, it's a red flag. And sadly i agree, i know MANY women who went for a section because they thought it was a less painful option, or rather, as one put it "If you have drugs for labour you're a wimp, but no-one calls you a wimp for having morphine after surgery".
