Child Of Our Time Wed 27th June Posted On behalf of Marie ANT

I watched the above programme on Wednesday evening 27/06/01 (I have

kept it on video). I have since discussed it with my colleague and

we were particularly concerned about the claims made by Professor

Winston.

He stated that a child born by elective c/s has not had any stress

during the birth and is consequently a calmer baby/child/adult. A

child born by the 'normal' route will be more stressed because of the

extremely high level of adrenaline experienced at the birth which

will consequently imprint on their personality.

Do you know where his research is from? Do we have any other

research to refute this. I am starting a course next week and I am

sure it will become a 'hot topic' - maybe even fuelling the debate

about c/s on demand.

Does anyone know what happened about the poll?
