Women who get the iotrogenic birth issues as part and parcel of ‘normal birth‘.
And women who really don’t think despite being very bright and smart.
Well then… seeing as all the new visitors don’t know this. I am not one of the ‘cool kids’. I don’t follow around a lot of the writtings of people in other places. Finally just found this article, which I did not know had even been written.
Hence. I digress, she does think. I NEVER slammed her choices, over 90% of babies are born in hospitals and that is the best place for that family to start. I never said she wasn’t smart or bright. I wouldn’t spend time defending some of her posts, or the article in the Globe and Mail, if I didn’t think she deserved it. But as I said. I’m not playing with the big kids. I’m just one lone voice in the wilderness who also had a cesarean and chose to let the iotrogenic causes not come knocking at my door. My blog, my voice. My apologies.
shakes head, sinks in to tears and wonders why women can be so rigorous in wanting equal rights, except when it comes to their own bodies!

Wow. Just wow. c sections are anti- equal rights and for the non thinking. This is an incredibly judgmental, unsupported claim.
I had to have a c section. there weren’t any options, why are you so concerned how other women handle their birthing process? How does it effect you?
equal rights except for their bodies?
equal rights refers to equality under law regardless of sex….what does this have to do with women’s bodies??
and yes, your blog, your voice, but really, blaming one or two women for the cesarean rate? a little over the top.
@ fluttercrafts: Wow to you too. My understanding is that hbacmama has also had a c-section, a decision forced on her in, obviously, not the best of circumstances. I think she is trying to make the point that this is a procedure that is often undertaken without full and complete understanding of the risks involved.
I will not attempt to understand what a woman goes through while a woman is in labour. That is a “blessing” I’ve been fortunate to avoid.
But hbacmama has a right to express her opinion. Even if you don’t like hearing it.
Misstea I invite you to find where I said she was not allowed to speak.
Don’t think I did.
The post asserts that csections were for the unthinking. That they are not for those who want equal rights. Being informed and involved in the birthing process is of course, important.
It has nothing to do with being one voice in a sea of “cool kids”. It has everything do to with being informed. It has everything to do with taking responsibility for what you say and the way you say it.
I also have my right to say my piece, even if YOU don’t want to hear it. I asked a question and was met with a personal attack. At no point did I say she couldn’t speak. I said her claim was judgmental.
