Many unnecessary
C-sections occur and the incidence (epidemic proportions) is
unbelievable. Please see many, many, many documents disclosing these
issues on Mothering.com. The number of "emergency" c-sections compared
to similar socio-economic and matched risk groups varies by
practioner, state and country. Midwives, save women and babies from
c-sections according to these same research criteria.



Great books to read on this subject are OBSTETRIC MYTHS VS. RESEARCH
REALITIES, and THE THINKING WOMAN'S GUIDE TO A BETTER BIRTH, both written by Henci
Goer. And yes, the thread isn't about unschooling however I must say that had
I never discovered the free thinking way to give birth I would have never
ventured down this education road with the children. One thing really led to
another, at least in our lives.
