    :D Daft though it might seem on the surface B, I have read stuff about this(I read the weirdest stuff). Very basically the theory is that because the baby isn't exposed to the biome in the birth canal* in the usual way, such babies have been found to have a smaller number of bacteria than babies born through the usual way and that this may affect future health. The latter is up for grabs though. Far more of an issue is early use of antibiotics in babies and toddlers. The effects there are well enough noted. IE if a baby has a course of antibiotics in their first year of life, they're near guaranteed to have allergies later on. Then again if antibiotics are in play in a properly clinical way, then potential hay fever is a better outcome than not making it past your first birthday.










    *I didn't type "vagina", in case women out there considering this feel the same way as I would considering a kick in the male ovaries.. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    My First born came out hands first. I was allowed watch , midwife said oh oh hands shouldn't be first , so I moved and held her hand and told her she looked great all sweaty.

    Second child was cesarean because hands first made a balls of it.I wasn't allowed watch and they put up a screen around her so I held her hand and told her they were writing their names on her belly.

    Why?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    What wibbs said. It does have an effect on the gut health of babies apparently, anecdotally many section babies suffer with constipation.
    It can also effect the mothers milk and some mothers struggle to breastfeed after a section. Compounding the potential gut issues.

    However it's often a life saving procedure. 14hrs of labour and I could hear the alarms monitoring heartbeat going off with every contraction. Turns out chord was around his neck so a section was required.

    Although Ireland's numbers of sections are huge! way higher than they should be.

    We had our one and only through Caesaerian. No antibiotics needed (so far). No allergies either (that I'm aware of).

    Which is hugely insulting to any woman who has had a section.

    It's major surgery with all that entails, it's not the easy option by any means. In many cases it's the difference between a living mother and baby or dead ones.

    No I don't

    What does that mean in practical terms? Do you think the maternity system is going to do unnecessary surgery on woman just because they don't want to push.

    The average Irish woman isn't a Victoria or Britney. We don't get to pick and choose our healthcare like that. Yes our rates are high but it's due to the way birth has become almost like a production line rather than treated holistically as it should. It's not because women are demanding sections.

    so they are harangued into c sections


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered

    Not really. Interventions such as sweeps bringing in labour, breaking waters in early labour, makes it more likely that a section will be needed.
    Women are/were (apparently it's to change) routinely pressured into accepting these interventions. I refused a sweep and the doctor was quite annoyed about it, shockingly so. It's on my file that I "refused medical advice". Which in my view is a disgrace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,495 ✭✭✭✭eviltwin

    I wouldn't say that. I think our maternity system is at breaking point with staff desperatly trying to manage everyone safely and because of the nature of birth sometimes a section might seem the better option. We've also had the 8th Amendment in place up until recently which no doubt had an impact on clinical decisions.

    I agree, and it varies hugely depending on where a woman is lucky (or unlucky) enough to give birth. Some hospitals have twice the rate of caesarians as others, and it isn't because they're specialist centres for difficult births. It seems to be at the whim of the obstetrician.

    Induction rates and episiotomies are also very high in Ireland, and again it varies depending on who your obstetrician is, or where you give birth.

    This isn't all in the imagination of women. The statistics are there for all to see, and the State has been criticised by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (Cedaw)

    http://docstore.ohchr.org/SelfServices/FilesHandler.ashx?enc=6QkG1d%2fPPRiCAqhKb7yhsgA84bcFRy75ulvS2cmS%2f%2bil2Olic4vOOol%2b%2fJdEApK4Y1bDvfs5hiCDBBEjK%2fEX3%2bio9SY4WyO2qG7JijYBEmLaDNBkAtODampBJJZhUgVH%2fsStH8n1EM2GaPB3Iu%2bPRA%3d%3d
    The Committee is concerned at some reports that child delivery is highly medicalized and dependent on the use of artificial methods to accelerate the process such that women are made to deliver babies within 8 hours of hospitalization, owing to a lack of resources in hospitals.

    45. The Committee recommends that the State party ensure that women can have access to maternity and delivery services without time pressure or being exposed to artificial methods of accelerating births, and provide information in the next periodic report on the strategic plan aimed at launching a widely supported maternity health-care policy and programme respecting the birth process.

    It's vitally important that babies are extracted the way nature intended:

    In fact women are not demanding sections. They just aren't given a choice. They are given one at the drop of a hat. Because the hospitals don't want to take any risks because they don't want to be sued. But it means women lose all control over their own birth experience.

    My cousin has cerebral palsy because she got stuck in the birth canal. If my aunt had been given a section then she would have been able to lead a 'normal' life. One without wheelchairs and physio and speech therapy. But there has to be a balance. Birth is a natural process but in Ireland it is far too 'medicalised'. A section is major surgery, and if you have one then you will have to have another one the next time. Our levels of intervention are just far too high. It is ridiculous, we should be waiting more to let nature take its course.

    But it doesn't seem to harm the baby at least, even though they are not exposed to the bacteria in the birth canal there doesn't seem to be long term implications. Which again means there isn't a deterrent to performing what in other countries would be seen as unnecessary surgery.

    Had never thought about those factors when considering why we have such a high rate of caesarian. Interesting.
    Looking back I had a sweep on the first - had no clue what was happening to be honest as I was young and wasn't even told what was happening - and thinking about it now it's a terrible thing to routinely do. Of course it causes problems. Didn't have caesarian but had a high forceps delivery which now I think about it must have been due to the sweep and aggressive time management in the ward. Ugh.

    Yeah, I also got the ''refused medical advice'' tag on my record when I would not be induced on one of mine and opted for us to go 3 weeks overdue. I was told ''you are off my books now.'' Meh. Whatever. Feckers. There are fantastic people in maternity wards, I fell in love with my midwives, but there are also some horrible unnecessary crap things about the way birth is done here and it feels particularly poignant when something is ''off'' in such a powerful scenario.

    In keeping with the spirit of the thread - What blue saves east? Thick aboudit forever mice.

    I'm glad nobody gives in to the obvious mom-shaming the OP wants to do here with the "but people choose C-Sections, so they risk their pinky fingers of their newborn".

    Yes of course the rates of sections are high, it's no surprise with how dysfunctional the maternity system is. Some hospitals have you on the clock from the moment you enter their premises, everyone is overworked, every ward is understaffed and there's nothing anyone can do.

    Before OP is so quick to judge about how easy Sections are, did you have one? Do you know how this is definitely not the easy way out? You can't lift your child yourself for a few days, you have to run around with a pee bag for at least a day, you have to take some strong painkillers to cope with the strong pain afterwards (they sliced your tummy open, you can't drive for 6 weeks, it's not a particularly gravy experience.

    Its not a rational discussion when the focus is on the patient, the person who doesn't get to call the shots. Until recently pregnant women didn't even have the right to object to medical treatment. You want a rational discussion then frame it round the management of labour which goes against best practice.

    you just have, the scope has widened...

    Just because women have a say now for a few weeks it's not going to shatter a system that's in place for decades.

    Also if a woman opts for a C-section, it's none of anyone's business, isn't it?

    With my second I had a really troublesome pregnancy and at the end the baby didn't turn. All the usual didn't help and I was given the choice of trying to turn the baby from the outside, which is 50% successful and can have some pretty nasty complications or a C-section. Given the difficulty of this pregnancy I decided to go for the C-section and got a date for it. Then I went into labour over a week before and was on the table in the theatre just a few hours later and had the baby safely delivered, she was completely twisted in there.

    How exactly imagine that to be? If you have a healthy pregnancy you don't just go in to the consultant and tell them a C-section would suit you more, they tell you exactly what your options are and why it would make more sense trying it naturally.
    We're not celebrities that have so much money that they could literally buy the world, for us mortal women the normal rules apply.

    So what exactly is your point, what do you wanna talk about? That there are health implications when children are born via Section? It was mentioned before, yes, it might not be as beneficial as a natural birth but then rather a healthy section baby than a birth injury or a dead baby.

    Also, I had to press him to find out exactly what he was doing. It was my due date and I had a routine appointment. He listened for heartbeat, asked some questions and said everything looked good. Then told me to get on the table for "an examination"

    "What type of examination?"
    "A routine examination"
    "What type?"
    "An internal"
    "A sweep?"
    "Yes"
    "Why?"
    "It's routine"
    "But you said everything was ok, doesn't a sweep usually bring on labour?"
    "Not necessarily"
    "I'd rather not"
    "It's routine"
    "If everything is ok and baby is healthy and happy, I'd rather not"
    "Today is your due date"
    "Yes but we're in no rush, no thank you"
    "It's routine"
    "No. Thank. You"
    I sat back down and was asked if I realised that I was actively refusing medical assistance and it would be on my file that I wouldn't take medical advice. It was only after I learned that in some cases, if at any stage social services are involved with the family, this information is given to them.

    Not only that but during labour my waters were broken without my permission. A cursory "I'm going to do this now.....done" by the midwife.
