C is for Caesarean

Oh the things I learn around mothers. Today one of my labmates asked me how baby Su was doing. For some reason we got onto the topic of C-sections and how a third of all babies born in the US are delivered by C-section! She then proceeded to tell me me that her baby and another friend's baby were both delivered through C-sections. She said that neither of her nor the friend had bothered to read the book chapter on Caesarean Sections in their pregnancy book because neither of them even thought it was going to be an issue. Surprise!

Soooo, I think I'll read that chapter tonight... juuuuust in case.

...probably some unnecessary fillings with the advent of medical technology and our relative comfort with the procedure, but also less teeth falling out. what kind of childbirth classes are y'all going to take?

yes, good to be prepared :) it is scary how many end up in c-section now, but also good how high the percentage of successful births there are. not that the 2 are necessarily linked, but i liken it to fillings....
