    I understand a natural birth is best but its articles like this that scare the crap out of people who have no choice but to have a c-section

    my OB wouldn't let me go naturally as I have a ventricular bijimany (spelling wrong) and he was more soncerned about my heart giving in due to stress of labour than the risks of c-section I wasn't sure at first my heart dr kept saying we can monitor but in the long run Jack is better off with a healthy mum than one who could possibly die or suffer a heart attack during labour...in the end we did try a natural well induced labour but my body did not progress my heart raced, Jacks dropped drastically low, so we were rushed in for a emergency c-section Jack was not breathing but thankfully was ok after 10mins

    ok I have rambled too much, but I know I will opt for a elective c-section not becuase its convenient or easier for the OB but because I beleive it will be better for me in the long run

    I hope I am coming across right, yes a natural birth is best but there are those of us who have little choice but to have a c-section and as I said articles like this make it hard to live with that fact

    ETA sonya we posted at same time thats basically what I was trying to say ........is it all c-sections or those of people who as the saying goes are too posh to push

    my Katy was a natural labour as well...
