Thanks for your comments, Kate. Yes, I agree, the key lies with quality childbirth education – so that parents can make informed choices. 😉

Certainly there are many justifiable r3asons for interventions but our LSCS rate in private hospitals is alarming. I hope that more women and their partners will educate them selves by reading about normal birth and trust that for the majority of women it is a normal event. They should never feel coerced or even bullied into their decision.
