The C Section

Dear Baby,

I don't have a contemporary who's had their baby naturally - through vaginal birth. Even though Cesarean section is supposed to be a last ditch method - doctors have dozens of excuses for pushing it on their patients: Labor's too long, cervix is not dilating, mother is too old, mother is too young, mother is too big, mother is too small.

It's endless. The only person who wins are doctors and insurance companies.

It's very sad. Our plan, dear baby, is for you to come to the world in the natural way - and probably at home. Hospitals are for sick people. And you're not sick.

Love,
Dear Mama
