Oh I definately agree with you...and I can appreciate your cynisism

(sp?)....sorry, I just get antsy when these blanket, allencompassing

statements are made. There are always exceptions to every rule; I

know you know this, but I get the impression that some dont.

Sorry

All I was trying to say is that sometimes caesareans are done for reasons

other than true medical indications. I still stick by belief that sometimes

they are indeed necessary, and I have worked with doctors who have truly

been sorry that one had to be performed, as well as one who gave the woman

the choice between vaginal birth and C/S for her breech baby. But I have

also been at a few caesareans where it was obviously not indicated, or where

the dr made some totally inappropriate comment about the woman's inabailty

to " do this - she'll be sectioned by the end of the night, " etc. After

having several HORRIBLE experiences with drs being completely disrespectful

to women, I suppose I have become somewhat cynical.
