Sometimes women choose to have a C-section, sometimes it is 'necessary' and other times it is actually necessary. Before you make up your mind about C-section you have a right to hear about some of the repercussions. You may have no intention on having a C-section, but as your labour progresses it might be something that is recommended to you and it's worth knowing some of the facts. This excellent article by Pat Thomas looks at some of the reasons C-sections are performed/preferred, the knock on effect of medical procedure, how the media and our environment impact on our decisions, and pointers for a 'normal' birth. The article perfectly underlines how problems for a potentially normal birth start with fear and anxiety and escalate into a unpleasant reality.
