Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Shirish, As an Anesthesiologist, I can reassure you that there are very few " doctor based decisions" as you call it, in regard to C-Section. Every decision to do " C-Section" is now monitored, and unless the delivery process is very prolonged, and the mother is suffering due to it, or because there is fetal disress, or because the fetus is much larger than the mother's passage, C-Sections are not performed. There may be truth to your assumption of weak paelvic muscles, but it is also more because of prenatal vitamins, and diet of th emother that there are larger and larger babies in general. In the US, it is not unusual to have 7 1/2 to 8 lb babies routinely. Many women that do deliver per vaginum, end up having birth related trauma, needing repair of tear of the introitus. Your other points are correct, Durgesh Mankikar,MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
