Nadine not to have a go, but this thread wasn't started as a c/s bashing thread. I didn't take it that way. Just that alot of times the post effects of a c/s aren't explained. I know on my way to theatre in the emergency c/s they didn't say "oh btw... did you know you will have a drain put in and it will stay in for 24 hours and cause internal scarring that will be painful for years to come?" Honestly, at that point of time, I didn't care.

The other thing about c/s that annoy me is that they don't explain what else could happen to your baby. Did you know that there is a higher incidence of reflux in c/s babies? The babies themselves haven't gone through the birth process which squeezes their bodies in certain places which helps kick start their lives.
