WHY MDs PREFER C-SECTIONS (PERSONALLY)...

See Mary T. McLennan, MD et al. [2005], quoted below.


PREGNANT WOMEN: By using semisitting and dorsal (woman-on-her-back/buttocks)
delivery positions, obstetricians are closing birth canals up to 30%.

UNNECESSARY SPINAL MANIPULATION OF BABIES Obstetricians are KEEPING birth
canals closed the "extra" up to 30% when babies get stuck as they manipulate
babies' spines - pulling with hands, forceps and vacuums - sometimes pulling
so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords.

UNNECESSARY C-SECTION/UNNECESSARY EPISIOTOMY Obstetricians are slicing
vaginas/abdomens en masse (episiotomy/c-section) - surgically/fraudulently
inferring they are doing/have done everything possible to open birth canals
- even as they close birth canals up to 30%.

LADIES: It is easy to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%.

See ACOG's 2005 edition: How NOT to birth
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/3606

NOTE: Compelling obstetricians to allow birth canals to open the "extra" up
to 30% is not going to prevent all episiotomies, c-sections and forceps
deliveries; but obstetricians have no business closing birth canals the
"extra' up to 30%.



WHY MDs PREFER C-SECTIONS

"Physicians cite pelvic floor injury as a major reason for Cesarean section
as their personal preferred delivery mode..."

Mary,

You studied whether women "receive information about possible pelvic floor
complications of pregnancy/delivery."

You concluded that women need to be better informed.

Please inform women that obstetricians are slicing vaginas/abdomens en masse
(episiotomy/c-section) - surgically/fraudulently inferring they are
doing/have done everything possible to open birth canals - even as they
close birth canals up to 30%.

Please inform women that it is easy for them to allow their birth canals to
open the "extra" up to 30%.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Todd

C-sections may damage
nerves, impairing sexual sensation permanently.
