It's great having you around SB because you're not naive at all, I love having a paramedic hovering around, good for advice & inside info...oh the things you'll have seen!

Inanna, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're only pointing out that intervention free vaginal deliveries give these benefits (lower incidence of PND, birth satisfaction, bonding issues and breast feed at higher rates and for longer) at higher rates, not that these things CAN"T happen if you have intervention or a c/s? All those hormones kick in regardless of birth method right? I had a c/s and apart from birth satisfaction I haven't had PND, bonding issues and am still BF 11 months along.
