US c-section rate is a devastating 24%

A couple years ago in Anchorage a female ob/gyn was taken off the hospital's

roll for failing to perform enough c-sections! Of course, the hospital said

she was causing undue harm to the mothers and babies by not performing the

c-section. It took almost a year for her to be able to practice medicine

again.

 

That was criminal on the part of the hospital.

that we have poodle pup), lots of raw foods, limited vaccinations!

This has actually become a personal crusade of mine. I refer to the

rate as devastating because my experience with a c-section was

devastating. Without going into too much detail, I was

induced(unnecessarily), got an epidural (because induced labor pains

are unbearable), and ended up with a c-section. Little did I know at

the time that all the unnecessary interventions almost guaranteed my

surgery.

 

During the last 3 1/2 years of pain, both emotionally and physically,

I have learned so much about the birthing process that I should have

known before having my first baby. I'm so proud to say that my second

baby was born vaginally and weighed 9 pounds 5 ounces! I am living

proof that " once a c-section, always a c-section " is absolutely false!

 

I heard of a woman at our local hospital who elected a c-section

simply because her baby weighed 9 pounds. I simply do not understand

the reasoning behind unnecessary butchering!

 

If you would like to learn more and join a cause like mine, take a

look at ICAN (international cesarean awareness network). Knowledge is

power!
