What I am trying to say in the essence is that wrong prognosis could be a major factor in the surge in the number of Caesarian sectioning
THIS! i mean from the get go my doctor told me i was too old to have a vaginal delivery, i was 30 years old like WTF, at the end of my pregnancy for money reasons we change doctors so i could deliver in the Red Cross the is way cheaper, here the doctor also told me my age was an issue, i was trying so hard to have a natural delivery and was annoyed by the fact that it seem like they wanted to do the C-Section cause that way they can actually charge more, at the end she said we need it since the baby had his arm in the way and the umbilical cord around his neck, to be honest to this day i still doubt this since my previous doctor never saw that in any ecosonogram.
At the end I'm happy i did get the c-section cause i got my tubs cut at the same time so i kill 2 birds with one stone but... i do feel like doctors like to do c-sections more than vaginal births. I think this should be a woman choice is our body and just cause you want to charge more for the procedure it shouldn't affect my decision.
I thought this practice would be peculiar to Nigeria alone not knowing that humans are the same everywhere. Someone very dear to me was coerced into CS and she lost her life at the end of the day. The procedure still gives me ptsd till today.
Some places really try and push c-sections while others are against it unless it's to protect the health and life of the mother and baby.
In New Jersey, USA, my sister kept getting offered C-sections by every doctor she met with. It was like that for both of her kids. In the opposite side of the country, in California, my wife is in labor for 40 hours and even when the c-section for our first boy was medically necessary, doctors were stressing the risks of the procedure.
In New Jersey, they were tossing out offers to do C-sections like it was a fast-food handout. It's amazing how something like this . can be handled so differently
