It would seem that the things we were told as young teens to discourage us from having sex have had a very detrimental effect on us as mothers to be. Perhaps teaching young girls that birth is nothing but screaming in agony for hours on end is the real reason for the high elective cs rate. Until I was pg with DS and actually looked into the options and risks, I was positive I would be having all the drugs or a CS! Instead I had two drug-free vaginal births and a very positive experience with DS.

And no-one ever told me that babies are hard hard hard work! Everyone only mentioned how wonderful they are and they are the best thing you can ever do (all true yes but lying by omission is still lying )
