In June 2007, on Yahoo Ask, I posed the
following question:
- Do you feel like childbirth is
overmedicalized today? With the increasing cesarean
rates, epidurals and all, do you feel like
childbirth is unecessairily
overmedicalized?
... and here are the
responses:
Answerer 1
I don't know .. But I'm getting the
epidural!
Answerer 2
Yes and sometimes I want to punch my doctor
square in his face, I already told him I dont want
anymore stupid blood tests, I just want pregnancy
to take its course, how GOD intended it!
Answerer 3
I think there is a lot of unnecessary
C-sections.
It is cruel to deny anyone pain relief while
in labor. That is comparable to denying someone
pain relief while in surgery or for a broken
bone
Answerer 4
Yes its very over medicalized! Ve had 2 babies
and one on the way each were with midwives and
totally natural. I plan on having them all this
way!
So are vaccinations! They cause more harm
than good from what I've been reading. If anyone
wants to check it out for themselves, check out the
book: VACCINATIONS- TRAGEDY AND DECEPTION,
by Michael Dye.
Answerer 5
I don't like the idea of being able to have a
cesarean because you don't want to go through child
birth. It's fine for medical reasons, but I think
child birth is a natural thing and it happens that
way for a reason. Who knows what damage you could
cause by having an unnecessary cesarean! I hear it
can cause scaring in the uterus that can affect
your chances of conceiving a second time.
Answerer 6
I agree. I just had my second child via
c-section, just like her older sis. A nurse told me
that since they started watching the fetal heart
monitor more and more, the number of c-sections
have risen. My first daughter was squeezing her
cord causing her heart beat to drop. Second one was
pulling cord from placenta. If there is distress, I
can understand c-sections....but I could not have
handled labor without some sort of pain medication.
Maybe I'm a wimp....but I would not have minded
natural birth if I had been given a choice(but it
might have prevented me from having any more
kids).
Answerer 7
Yes and No!
Yes I think scheduling a C-section so you
won't have a natural childbirth is unnecessary and
should not be allowed or at least have it as an
elective surgery that is covered at a lower rate
than regular childbirth.
No, I do not think the use of an epidural is
anything to be ashamed of. I personally used one
and have not qualms about it. I went as long as I
could, and in the end I had a 10 lbs. 8 oz. baby
along with a 4th degree tear. I was glad that I had
the epidural on board and I would do it again if
the next one was going to be just as big.
Answerer 8
- Re: Answerer 1: "I don't know .. but I'm
getting the epidural!"
Oh, my.
Yes, I do think so, and I'm also inclined to
believe it's got as much to do with bimbos as it
has to lazy OBs and over-eager lawyers. I hope she
enjoys her episiotomy and litany of iatrogenic
complications.
and more to come!
