CAESAREAN BIRTH – YOUR BABY, YOUR BODY, YOUR LIFE, YOUR CHOICE

Risk factors for neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in Helsinki University Hospital
During the study period, 73 191 deliveries took place in four study hospitals, the average being 14 638 per year. 112 near-term and term neonates presented with moderate to severe HIE and were admitted to the NICU to receive therapeutic hypothermia. The incidence of moderate to severe HIE in the obstetric population was 1.5/1000.
Altogether, 45% of the neonates (40/88) in the study group were born vaginally, and 65% of these (26/40) were ventouse deliveries. Two neonates were born in breech position. The proportion of elective, emergency and crush cesarean sections were 1.1% (1/88), 15.9% (14/88) and 37.5% (33/88) respectively. Four emergency cesarean sections were preceded by failed trial of instrumental delivery (Figure 1). The mortality of the cooled neonates was 10.2% (9/88). There were no neonatal deaths in the control group.

”It is a potentially devastating indictment of the rising C-section rate. Most midwifery and “natural” childbirth websites claim that elective C-section triples the rate of neonatal mortality. Mainstream web sites like Feministing.com, and newspapers like The New York Times have repeated the claim. There’s just one problem. It’s not true.” https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/does-c-section-increase-the-rate-of-neonatal-death/
”But natural birth actually comes with risks, including tearing, haemorrhage and incontinence for the mother and injuries to the baby during labour.

”The verdict sends an important message. A healthy baby is not enough.
A woman’s wishes about her own body also count and the desire for a C-section is a woman’s reasonable attempt to prevent damage to her vagina and surrounding tissues as well as future incontinence.
It’s about time that we acknowledge the important right that women have to control their own bodies by opting for a C-section instead of a vaginal birth.” http://www.skepticalob.com/2019/06/mother-awarded-11-million-after-she-was-denied-a-requested-c-section-and-suffered-incontinence.html

”Some of the negative association for C-sections comes because the majority are performed in emergency situations, he said.
Research studies comparing vaginal deliveries with caesareans shouldn’t include C-sections performed only once something’s gone wrong in a natural birth, Murphy argued.
Murphy said planned C-sections in healthy pregnancies actually involve fewer and less-serious risks than vaginal births.” https://o.canada.com/health-2/promote-c-sections-as-valid-choice-for-moms-to-be-doctor-urges

”The philosophy of natural childbirth is not based on science; it is based on fundamental beliefs about the irrelevance of women’s suffering, beliefs about the ways that women “should” use their bodies, and value that natural childbirth providers place on their (the providers’) autonomy and having their own personal choices mirrored back to them.
The philosophy of natural childbirth is about glorifying and enjoying women’s agony, and that, of course, is nothing more than sadism.” https://www.skepticalob.com/2014/08/philosophy-of-natural-childbirth-is-sadistic.html

”The philosophy of natural childbirth is not based on science; it is based on fundamental beliefs about the unimportance of women’s suffering.

”Happiest mothers — the ones who actively participate in, enjoy, and fondly remember their deliveries (instead of just praying for it to be over) were the mothers who did not have endless hours of suffering along with painful hours of pushing, and then the discomfort of a tear that had to be repaired while trying to get just the right amount of local anesthesia injected into a very sensitive area.” https://medium.com/@rebeccaobgyn/ask-me-a-question-please-20b49b8c39cd

”It’s hard to imagine anything more disrespectful than telling a woman how she ought to give birth and ignoring what she might want (pain relief, interventions, maternal request C-section), yet this is precisely what campaigns for normal birth do. By campaigning on behalf of a process instead of for patients themselves, proponents of unmedicated vaginal birth are explicitly ignoring the needs and wishes of those patients.” http://www.skepticalob.com/2019/10/the-dirty-secret-about-obstetric-violence-midwives-are-responsible-for-a-lot-of-it.html
”CONCLUSION: Perinatal mortality and morbidity in the planned vaginal breech delivery were significantly higher than with planned caesarean delivery. Even taking into account the relatively low absolute risks of vaginal breech delivery, the current study substantiates the practice of individualised decision-making on the route of delivery in a term breech presentation.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26234485/?i=6&from=/18456074/related
”The Health Secretary Matt Hancock has promised an inquiry after an investigation revealed that women are being denied epidurals and pain relief when they request them.
