i think that is absolutely wonderful!!

how amazing, anything that can help get the woman more involved in a caesarean birth is great !!

lets hope this and the 'natural' caesarean become more commonplace and offered to more women.

thanks for that sandcastles

Wow! Also thought it might be a 'stuck on a long haul flight with only a coat hanger and a biro' type scenario.

Great picture!

I think that's really lovely, I'm sure many women would be happy to have the opportunity to do that.

Hi Lulu

No worries, glad you liked it.

Think I might consider it, if I can't do VBAC for any reason.

Oh Wow....that's just amazing....that would have have made such an incredible difference...being part of it all..participating instead of having a procedure done to you.

Lullabyloo, that's just what I think. I was a c-section under GA so wouldn't have mattered in my case. But I think it would mean more involvement & control...

Would have loved to feel more in control of dd's birth!

No....but do you think it will have reached Adeliade by sometime 2008?

MintChocChippyMinton · 15/04/2007 12:24

That is amazing... i don't think i could do it myself - since having an emergency c-section i have never been able to even read about the procedure, it makes me squirm

lulumama · 15/04/2007 12:24

who knows !! i;d hold onto the article and any others , and wait and see !
