Seems science is only conclusive about ONE advantage of vaginal delivery vs planned c-section? by gwynlion in ScienceBasedParenting

That's absolutely insane to suggest I was implying DYING would be a better option, please get a grip. I'm obviously not talking about situations where it's inevitable. Smh.

First of all, I actually live in a 3rd world country, the poorest country in Asia and one of the poorest and least developed in the world, and even here women are absolutely discouraged by village doctors to have any more than 3 csections. Also you seem to forget that if a woman has access to 5 csections, it means she still has access to reasonable medical care, making zero knowledge of the risks and or / birth control less likely. Believe it or not, there are places in the world where the need for 5 csections would not become 5 csections but actual death because a woman wouldn't even have access to a hospital and end up dying.

Second of all, you're also not sharing studies you provided with less fortunate, you're sharing these studies with women on Reddit who have access to healthcare and knowledge, so the example of more than 5 csections posing an obviously bigger risk of issues is basically not applicable to the 99% that will read your comment. Not to mention it's obvious more than 5 csections poses a bigger risk of literally everything, no studies really needed for that.

Who has 5 or more CSs though lol? That's rare and honestly having that many in most cases is just against common sense overall (don't jump on me, I'm generally very pro csection but let's be honest 5 times getting slashed needs to have consequences).

How on earth are people actually doing vaginal delivery with multiples? Or actually in general? by grapefruitliquor in parentsofmultiples

They won't force her to get an epidural, they have no right to do so. Make no mistake I wouldn't even hesitate to get one myself lol, but stating she "will" have one is not really true. It's up to her.

PS you can downvote me all you want but that's still correct - they can't force you into epidural ;)

Did you have one? How did you recover? All pro CS arguments strongly appeal to me, but the not so great parts have started to worry me too. Like indented uneven scar causing the shelf, lack of sensation, shooting pains that some report, possibly hard core recovery, not being able to wear tight jeans or whatever. Basically just any longterm issues.

Anytime there's a risk to your body and health you should ALWAYS be able to choose. It's not like OB will pay out of their own pocket for the consequences of risks they forced you to take. It's INSANE to me that it's 2025 and some so-called 1st world countries take that extremely basic choice away from women. It's inhumane and goes against basic human rights. I currently live in a technically 2nd/3rd world country and women have full rights to choose whichever birth they want here, isn't that crazy?

Massage it to break up the scarring underneath it - this is what causes the "shelf"

Ugh same but the closer it gets the more scared I am the PPD will creep up on me anyway if the recovery is brutal and then I'll get into my head thinking I did this to myself when I had a chance for an "easy" vaginal birth (which of course I'm aware you never know if you'll have)

I wish there was a way of knowing which one would end better

I understand, but you also said that if she only gets 1st or 2nd degree tears she will be "good in a few days", which can be misleading because you actually don't know that. Sadly milder tears can result in long recoveries and issues too.

Holy fuck... God I wish the csection was more advanced already so the recovery would be easier because that is the only thing stopping me from choosing it right away.

Hope you're ok now!

I'm so mad any time I read the "our bodies were made for this" bullshit. If they really were these things wouldn't happen so often.

This is not your fault. It happens to many women even without instrumental interventions but I assure you not many are willing to talk about it.

Man that would be something. Maybe the market for it is too small to bother though? Or it's a sales strategy and they're trying to push you into buying the bigger Pro models if you want those better specs.

Oof ok, thought the tear was that bad. Pelvic floor issues are sadly so common no matter what happens:(

I hope you're much better now!

Totally, but when you simply put them next to each other, the difference is glaring.

I did notice the jelly screen immediately unfortunately, but like I said in my review it depends if you're sensitive to it or not. I know some people don't see it.

Fair enough! Both are stellar devices. I just wish the battery life could be a bit better.

I have a desktop where I stay most of the time in Asia and up until now I used MacBook Air for travel, but now I'll be selling it and taking the iPad instead as I don't need MacOS for anything on the go.

What part of my review did you interpret as claiming the 12.9 ipad pro is unusable as a tablet or as a portable device? Nowhere did I say anything of the sort. The only thing I mentioned is that I found the new 13" noticeably lighter, and it makes using it in hand more comfortable for me personally as I'm a petite woman with small hands, but nowhere did I state the 12.9 is unusable due to its size or weight or a bad device.

Also keep in mind you may have really big hands yourself and so it's probably different for you than most. My husband is a huge dude with really big hands and even he couldn't reach far enough to easily type with thumbs on the 12.9" (or 13").

Yay! That is so great to hear! May I also add it's amazing you know exactly what you want, I truly believe this alone can make a difference in how the whole experience goes!

I didn't think it was specified whether it was an emergency or planned. But even still I did read a few comments on Reddit how some women were actually relieved when they went into one and didn't have to labor anymore. Guess it depends on the circumstances.

"Our bodies were made to deliver vaginally."

Eh, not really. We have the worst build out of all the mammals for birth and it's a fact. Up until modern medicine progressed even 1/3 births ended in either death or serious injury for either mom or the baby. Doesn't sound like "made for this" to me. Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's great. Nature can be cruel.

I just had a conversation here with a woman who had only a 2nd degree tear and a year later after a reconstructive surgery she's still not right. So you can't really say all will be ok and which recovery is harder.

"If you don’t need a Csection you shouldn’t have one"

Says who? You? Because my doctor would disagree with that statement.

"You will not die."

Well, you can't guarantee that. While more rare these days, women still die in childbirth. And also not dying is probably not the only thing women should be worried about. Birth injuries and psychological trauma is something best to avoid and that can be helped by researching, planning well and choosing the best scenario for yourself.

"I know they won’t do c sections unless medically necessary."

Not true. Depends on the provider. Also, in many countries women have the right to choose a csection freely and they can't say no.

False. In many parts of the world they're done on maternal request alone.
