WHAT???? there hasn’t been a death due to asperation during c-section in MANY YEARS. (I need to track down the last one since I keep running into this recently, it was over ten years ago I know that) How can ANY health care provider say something like that? A ‘health risk’ that hasn’t caused a single death in years is the ‘number one case of death’????

WTF????????

Wha…? First off, aspiration happens because of an inept anesthesiologist. So if he’s thinking there’s THAT great a risk of aspiration, they need to fire the anesthesiology department and find other people to do that!

Secondly, I think if they examine the medical records, they’ll find there are far more maternal deaths attributed to infections and complications secondary to episiotomies. Is Dr. Cheeseburger going to leave his scissors at home?

Not only a dumb thing to say, its just wrong. There has not been an aspiration death in years. The main causes of death during birth are infection and bleeding. And guess what the main causes of those are.

But chili would be ok????

perfect time to realize it is time to switch providers since he seems so well educated and such a fear mongerer!? we need to think about why a perfectly healthy woman would choose an OB/GYN, a surgical specialist vs a midwife.

Um…let me see. That whole eating/aspiration thing has never made sense to me. If that logic were to be applied in childbirth it would have to be applied everywhere. So, if you plan on driving anywhere, don’t eat before you go, because if you are in a wreck and have to have emergency surgery, they would like to not have to worry about aspiration.
Aside from the fact that the providers statement was a complete lie, the logic is ridiculous anyway.
What about steak and potatoes? I hear that’s what most laboring moms crave anyway…right?

Besides we want you to be starving while doing possibly the most strenuous thing of your entire life… we don’t want you to have the energy to complete your marathon without our intervention…

Ahh, yes. My jaw was on the floor when my doula client told me this story!

That’s exactly what I did. My OB sent me to the hospital all day a week before my first was born. So when he sent me again from my appt a week later, I had learned, and we stopped at Wendy’s on the way. Natural birth, no chance for aspiration.

OMG – geez… Although I do tell mom’s I don’t recommend cheeseburgers during labor, because they MIGHT come back up.. I usually get a giggle or two. hah!

This cracks me up–while I know he meant during a cesarean for the mom, I was trying to imagine how a baby chokes on the cheeseburger mom ate Oh, btw, during my labor that ended in a cesarean, I had a cheeseburger (oh, wait, two–it was what I had before going in and then my mom snuck on into the hospital for me after I’d been in labor all day). Neither of us aspirated anything

I love my OB! He told me before my induction “Be sure to finish your lunch before you show up at the hospital. Have whatever you want…maybe not something too heavy though. Just finish eating before you get to the maternity ward because they’re not going to want to let you eat once you’re hooked up.” I think I was cleared to have a milkshake up until I was ready to push…and I never want to eat at that point anyway!
