As a woman “born” by cesarean in 1968, who has had five unwanted cesareans myself, I find that comment…chilling.

First off, I love what the mom said to her daughter! How beautiful.

Second – How scary that what the OB said is heading to the truth.

Ditto Michele…and brought tears to my eyes.

A really beautiful comment, I enjoyed it and wanted to just let it sink in. Its scary that this OB was prophetic in a way, but all hope is not lost. See my blog series in August 2009 where I discussed the rising c-section rate in detail http://www.askmyobgyn.com/gyn_blog.php.

I wish we had midwives supported by legislature around here.

It seems like making all births expensive surgical experiences is still the goal of too many OBs. All the more reason to leave low-risk care to midwives, and call in the surgeons only when they are actually necessary.

Prophetic.

Also, nice way to break up a lovely family moment. So tender.

Sadly, he was nearly correct.

Of course, I would love to erase his comment and just take in the absolute sweetness of what that mother whispered to her daughter!
