I agree, but women's words like yours don't seem to get into the paper - only the women who consider it to be just the thing for them. That's why I want some balanced reporting! Am working on that though! ----- Original Message ----- From: Philip & Chris To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 15, 2003 1:10 PM Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] Weekend Australian Lynne, Having gone through a caesarian myself and finding the whole experience and the next six weeks very painful I would like to point out that it is neither fuss-free, easy or attractive.  I would have  preferred a vaginal birth but was told it was impossible due to CPD.  Maybe, the doctor concerned should have major abdominal surgery and see if he thinks it is easy, attractive and fuss-free afterwards!

Another blatant sales pitch promoting caesarean birth - incredibly one sided and almost all quotes by one particular dr who really seems to think they (caesars) are the way to go! He made it sound such an attractive, fuss-free easy option - why would anyone choose anything else? Lets get some balanced journalism out there (is there such a thing?)
