C-section reasons

 

Dr. Mankikar,

 

I think you are right about c-section births. My wife

had a baby 12 years ago in the U.S. She went to a

midwife. She did not tear when delivering. Her

midwife said that the mothers she attended rarely had

tears in the perineum. I think that the way the

midwife trains the mother and "coaches" the mother has

a lot to do with it. I would suggest that pregnant

mothers ask their doctor or midwife what kind of

record they have for tearing, C-sections, etc. It can

vary alot.

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,
