I didn't take it as malicious, or as having intent to scare us. It's just reality. C/s is major surgery, but I guess people do see it as the 'easy' option. I for one am praying my bubby turns so I don't need one, as I want to be up and walking again the next day when bubby arrives.. not recovering from surgery!

I guess the golden staph bit is pretty much a risk whatever you're in hospital for.

I actually appreciate sobering stories like this. But like the midwife at our classes says, don't take all the horror stories on board, as every situation is different. Just take what you need from the story, but don't let it worry you. What I take from this story is that c/s shouldn't be taken lightly.. it's major surgery, and it comes with it's own set of risks.. and sometimes those risks are high.
