Natural is preferred. Once a woman has a c-section she usually has to have all her future children that way too.

Doctors have been doing c-sections much too often over the last few years.

Responses:

there's a new trend of VBAC delivery, but it's dangerous -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:37 15
- Not true. Doctors love C-sections because they get paid more for them. - Subversive Aug 17, 09:45 3
  - They're also easier to schedule and take less time. But there are more risks and some doctors don't like that. -- nm - pmb Aug 17, 09:48 2
    - There are a lot of good doctors who don't do unnecesary c-sections, but there are a lot more who would rather just dispense with any sort of natural - Subversive Aug 17, 09:50 1
      - let's just do away with wombs altogether, while we're at it. - znufrii Aug 17, 09:51
- I've read about that and it is dangerous and most doctors refuse to perform them. -- nm - Krusty Aug 17, 09:39 1
  - Yes, some out-of-date doctors don't like to do them, but other than that the risks are greatly overstated. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:41
- That's not true. It's far safer than it used to be, and overall it's no riskier than a cesarean. Depending on why the c-sect was done previously, - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:39 8
  - I've read the opposite. I've heard it's dangerous and not likely to be performed. - Krusty Aug 17, 09:42 7
    - I really think it depends on the reasons for the first C-section. - kelly Aug 17, 09:47 1
      - *mwah* I kiss you! - Subversive Aug 17, 09:49
    - Wherever you got it, it was incorrect. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:42 4
      - I stand corrected, it appears 90% of women who've had a c-section can have a vbac delivery. - Krusty Aug 17, 09:48
      - Well, anyway, in the cases where a C-section is actually medically necessary, VBAC would be ill-advised. - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:47 2
        
        Again, not really true. It depends on a lot of factors. - Subversive Aug 17, 09:51
        
        Definitely, sometimes they are certainly medically necessary, no doubt. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:48
