divvy can you link me please.
No the high scar is indeed from the cs which they do like that in the states. Not every time I believe but some cons still do that.
She was beautiful even with the scar though I thought.
moss I don't agree that people are peddling a myth. This lady did indeed have a terrible time and was subjected to drugs that she should never have been given, so in this case, she has a point.
On the whole, no, the docs are not the devil incarnate, but I do see them trying to take over and medicalise things alot when there is no need, ie the MW has everything in control. Had it last week, itchy doc wanted to use instruments, very experienced mw was on top of things, baby born 10 mins later completely unassisted.
Also alot of ladies get alot of comfort from having some kind of focus, Ie talking to baby, breathing and all that goes with it. No, there isn't always a 100% pathway to a natural birth but if ladies are relaxed and positive, it is fact that they will labour more positively on the whole.
