CPD trivia question
Valerie Stewart
Okay my curiosity was piqued concerning the instance of
CPD among inter-racial couples so I asked my midwife with over 25 years
experience. Here is her response, (snipped):
it's Hooey that interracial babies are more likely to be
C'sectioned. It may derive from the thought that individuals of different
races might have different bone structures, different pelvic diameters,
different average head sizes, etc., I haven't seen difficulties more with
interracial couples than non-interracial. Maybe I'm just not looking for
trouble
Of course this is not any finalized answer. I just
can't see how another midwife would come to the conclusion that CPD occurs more
often among "race mixing". I'm trying to find the logic behind it and
can't.
