Women who choose caesarean births double the risk of death and illness to themselves and the baby, a new study has found. Doctors are now urging women to give birth naturally if they can.
The report published yesterday in the British Medical Journal found non-emergency caesareans were linked to twice the risk of death, hysterectomy, blood transfusions and admission to intensive care, compared to women who had a vaginal birth.
There was a five times higher risk of having to have antibiotic treatment after birth. There also is a 70 per cent higher chance of a baby born by either elective or medically-advised caesarean dying before discharge from hospital.
Ahh well .... just so long as your sex life is unaffected eh?

Why are you so worried about these women and their risk of death and illness?  They are not threatening you because you disagree with them, right? Then what´s the big deal?
And I highly doubt that the motivation for these operations is ´unaffected sex life´. Anyway... seems like we haven´t had a good argument here for a while!

- I care because, as I said, my sister works in a Special Care Baby unit and they have seen a huge increase of medical emergencies arising from the increase in elective caesarean births.
- I care because vanity and bodily perfection have become the new god - even at the expense of risking lives.
- And.... I care because, like it or not, people on this site see you as their "feminist representative" and assume your views are those of all feminists.
- And I care because I enjoy a good argument with you

Frankly I don´t give a damn about them - they know the risks. However, I do give a damn about the babies, who have no say in the matter!

Regarding #1: I will see it myself soon... I don´t believe this statistic very much... but I´m naturally a skeptic, so you might be right about it...
Regarding #2: I do agree with this... and I have no words to express my disgust towards it... but, let´s always keep in mind who we are dealing with and what the alternatives throughout ages have been.
Regarding #3: Do they?  Since when? Well...... I am officially telling them not to! Because it´s against my own feminist views for people to do that!
Regarding #4: The pleasure is mutual!

I´d never have opted for a section and if it hadn´t been for medical reasons, I´d be happy to have had my baby the natural way. I wouldn´t care about pelvic muscles getting stretched - I seriously doubt they can become very loose after having one or two babies. Of course, if you´re planning ten then you may risk losing the pleasure of sex. Yet, I´ve never heard of women´s muscles stretching so much after one or two kids that sex is no longer fun I wouldn´t judge women who want to stay nice and tight for their partners - it´s their choice, just as it´s their choice to bottlefeed in order to avoid breast deformation, just as it is their choice to inject sillicone and colagene in all possible places. But if somebody wants to do it to avoid pain - sorry, that´s not the way

I just find it hilarious that two woman are arguing about something they have no experience of, only hearsay and conjecture!
My life was SAVED by having a C-Section! Please let me tell you (Wartrain) the main reason for c-sections in my hospital was due to the induction of labour, which was a decision by the doctors for their convenience. It was something like 1 in 5 induced labours ended in c-section, and it was these people whose lives were put at risk. I spent 3 months in hospital so I am speaking from experience.
Please go and argue about something you do know about.

A Turkish friend of mine had to have an emergency C section last year. Her labour had started but it was progressing slowly and she was in a great deal of pain, so an inducing agent was introduced. Immediately, the baby showed signs of distress and the mother became unconscious. They were rushed to the OT.
Thankfully, both mother and baby survived but it was a distressing experience for the family.
