Re C-Section Rates
Yes Lonnie I do read your blogs and agree with you about the c-section rate/premature births. I do think that many women want a natural birth but don’t take the time to educate themselves enough to know they have this as a choice. I see this all the time with my friends. They choose the OB closest to their work place so they can run to their appts on their lunch break and have the most time off with the baby after the birth. Not everyone is able to afford to stay home unpaid to the baby is older than 6 weeks. I do encourage everyone to use a midwife and a doula for their births as I did. As you know my experience was wonderful and my son is now one year one month old! He is such a happy healthy little boy who still nurses even though his Mom works full time. I could not have done this without the support of a midwife, doula and oh yes most importantly my husband! I can’t figure out where to post my birth experience on your site. Let me know and I will post it.
