Initially, when we were given the diagnosis of spina bifida, we were told a c-section was recommended. It made sense what the doctor said (less chance of injury to the lesion), and we were planning on doing that. Well, the next three or [sic] physicians said there was no reason I couldn't do a vaginal birth. I was really ecstatic about that, and they pretty much laid any anxieties about injury to the site to rest. Or so I thought. This week, I keep thinking about this. What if I damage my baby more by having a vaginal birth? Are these other doctors right? How do I KNOW? Obviously, I'm worrying. Didn't think I'd do that after I made up my mind! I was glad to see that Joybelle's "next three or [sic] physicians said there was no reason I couldn't do a vaginal birth." Any research that supports vaginal birthing of babies with spina bifida is only going to be buttressed by the fact that most statistics about injuries to babies from vaginal births (like the recent fraudulent Hannah et al. c-section-in-all-breeches promotion) are derived from vaginal births where the birth canal was senselessly closed the "extra" up to 30%. CHIROPRACTORS... Joybelle also wrote: My mother keeps sharing stories of people she's talked to who think a c-section is absolutely warranted. A couple of these are nurses and chiropracters or people who've had kids with sb (she knows a lot of people!). Chiropractors offering advice regarding birthing babies - birthing babies with or without spina bifida - should be pointing out that obstetricians are senselessly closing birth canals up to 30% and senselessly KEEPING birth canals closed the "extra" up to 30% when babies get stuck. NOTE: Talk to a licensed chiro about this... I am unlicensed - voluntarily... See Chiro x-ray fraud (also: Why Dr. Gastaldo is unlicensed - voluntarily...) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/3899 For some reason, the just cited "Chiro x-ray fraud" post lost some letters in transmission, but it is still legible. Thanks for reading. Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo Hillsboro, Oregon USA |
