I’m stealing this from Midwifery Ramblings…. again haha Enjoy! 1. “Before cesareans, women were dying all the time in childbirth.” * Yes, there were high maternal and infant mortality rates before we had the tools for a “safe” cesarean.

Ok, so I am taking another post from Unnecesarean’s blog… two actually. 3 years ago, a woman went to have her baby in a New Jersey. She was in labor, and when she got to the hospital she was to sign the consent forms for the procedures that might be used. She signed all but [...]
