Heavens makes you wonder how we all survived with such a major design floor

for so long!! I did read/hear an article a couple of years back saying that

the increase in C/S elective or emergency would eventually lead to humans

evolving to have bigger heads which would consequently lead to even more C/S

I watched it too and really felt for the lady with PND as my circumstances

were so so similar.

(e.g. my dad dying when I was pg) However, I resented the bit implying that

a BIG emotional trauma during pg (I was depressed too for my pg) could

affect your unborn child and coupled with PND could make them more anxious

and withdrawn (SHY).

My son is of the BOLD type, more like Paris, very outgoing, happy, giggly

and rather a handful. He is very independent too.

So I found this implication a bit disturbing.
