Send us a text This week it"s just little old me again as I talk about the weird, frankly insane, stigma surrounding c-sections. A lot of chat on my social media feed was about c-section this week so I thought I"d spend a bit of time going over the numbers; What % of women give birth via c-section in various countries? What is the reason for most c-sections? (hint, it"s not "too posh to push!!") Why do doctors recommend c-sections for certain women? (hint; it"s not "to make money"!) What % of c-sections is elective? (it"s a LOT lower than most people think..and even then there are usually very good reasons for it) I also talk about the "diastasis recti is an adaptation" argument a bit and compare it to Wolverine"s claws. Very useful in a fight, not so much when you want to open a jar of peanutbutter. As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.
