There is alot of bad crap going down at the moment but I have not been posting as I don't want to deal with the backlash of being accused of Ob bashing, which I am not! But as I always say, you would be appalled if you knew what was going on behind the scenes.

But there is an article in this week's New Idea talking about pro's of a caesarean written by a doctor - choose baby's date, dad can be there, it's quick... it does talk of negs but not many. It also says that around 80% of Ob/Gyns are opting for caesars over vaginal birth and goes on about vaginal birth offering tearing, lots of pain, etc... it's disgraceful. It just makes me realise how far we have to go in the big scheme of things, with Obs and doctors selling caesars as a neat little package. I think they are all scared of birth as they see what 'goes wrong' on a daily basis because if you do one intervention you almost always need another to fix it up.

I'm going to be having talks with a lovely Obstetrician and hopefully do some work with him, I think it will make a huge difference if I can have him backing up what I say, I think medical education makes it all that more believable for some.

That's all I will say.
