Feeling a big anxious about induction vs. c-section

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

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...

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...

For some reason, the just cited "Chiro x-ray fraud" post lost some letters
in transmission, but it is still legible.

Thanks for reading.
