(21,046 posts)A lot of women have to have a c-section b/c the baby's head is too big to go thru the hole in the woman's pelvis. And yes, I assume that vaginal childbirth is extremely painful. When I was in labor before my c-section, and then it stopped because the baby was not going anywhere, it was very painful.
I had to have a c-section when I had my only child back in 1985, or both of us would have died. No question about it. Which is why I get really annoyed with natural childbirth nuts, that insist that ALL babies can be delivered vaginally. WRONG.
They scream about how "childbirth is a natural function!". Yes, but in the old days before c-sections and antibiotics, and nowadays in undeveloped countries, ONE-THIRD of women died in childbirth from lack of a c-section, or shortly thereafter from childbed fever, due to a massive infection caused by doctors or midwives inserting their germ-laden hands in the vagina.
Oh and don't forget the blood vessels in FRONT of the retina. Blood vessel leaks--ya got blindness.
