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- Yes, some out-of-date doctors don't like to do them, but other than that the risks are greatly overstated.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
