Article: Risks Fail to Deter Caesarean Births

[Tobily]

When the surgeon opened me up he said to me, "Oh Trish, you could have delivered this baby". Yeah, thanks, too late now.

I got that comment too!! 10 weeks later I'm STILL stewing about it and I expect I will be for a long time to come.
When my son was in distress I was examined and it was determined that he had his deflexed his head (it was tilted back instead of forwards) while he was lying posterior. So basically his forehead was banging on my pubic bone with every contraction.
20 minutes later when they opened me up he had already moved. I'm really mad about it. I asked my OB for a copy of the report of my op and Toby's position was OP by the time he was taken out so I could have done it myself after all most likely. Talk about jumping the gun..... I'm absolutely spewing about it :mad:
