It was interesting to watch but they never really said how much the woman are paying for their elective c-sections - which would interest me!

I know in NZ that if there is no medical reason (e.g the baby is not breech, previous c section etc) then you are looking at about $10,000 and then your ob's fee on top of that.

I am guessing it is cheaper over there then here as otherwise it is an expensive option!

I enjoyed seeing the c-section - so fascinating.

I don't really mind how people birth -each to their own, I say. I actually think that its probably 6 of one half a dozen of another interms of recover and healing as it depends on how well your VB went to how quickly you heal and same with the c-section. Bubs don't seem to fazed either way and they are out and healthy!

I basically think back to the old days - you pushed the baby out if you could. We are very lucky to be living in an age that if, for medical reasons, you can't do that then you can have a c/s. It was never intended to be a good replacement for a VB and at the end of the day its still major surgery.

I think it's not helped by all the celebs booking in their c/s so they can have a wee nip and tuck after the birth. But yeah I don't see why its glamorous to have a c/s - the recovery and lasting effects are much worse than a VB so why would you choose it unless you medically had to? Just my opinion, I haven't had a c/s but would have one if it was necessary, but I don't see why anyone would opt for it if there was no reason they couldn't give birth vaginally.]]> Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:10:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20585&PID=481240&title=anyone-watching-tv3-right-now#481240 <![CDATA[Anyone watching tv3 right now : The scar isn&#039;t as bad as...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20585&PID=481199&title=anyone-watching-tv3-right-now#481199 Author: NeoshasMummy

The scar isn't as bad as everyone makes out
I can hardly see mine its just a white line now but it does get itchy sometimes TMI

Anyway I think it's personal choice, if they don't want to push their own child out that is their own business so im not really about judging and I know many people who have had their sex lives affected after vaginal births. Personally our sex life has been effected by the lil person crying in her cot upstairs lol so even though she is right (for some poeple not all) I just don't think it's a valid reason but again thats just my opinion.

I thought the lady who had her home birth was amazing she looked so relaxed and in control! I would love to do it but I don't think I would put myself in a situation where I had no medical help.

Anyway I probably am putting myself in the firing line but if women over there are choosing that way to give birth and are paying for it then it really isn't for anybody else to judge, it's like everything breast or bottle, cloth or sposies, c-sect or vaginal people will do what they want at the end of the day.

In saying that I feel like I missed out when I had a c-sect, after an extremely hard labour then an emergency C I felt like the birthing experience was ripped away from me.So I would love to try a VBAC ]]> Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:41:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20585&PID=481199&title=anyone-watching-tv3-right-now#481199 <![CDATA[Anyone watching tv3 right now : yeah but i&#039;d rather a streched...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20585&PID=481104&title=anyone-watching-tv3-right-now#481104 Author: mum2paris

In a way yes. I ripped my mum to bit down there when she had me. She said she was never right again after having me.

I do think that the c-section mums on there really gave the extreme version - they really were "too posh to push"    most people have them for completely realistic reasons, but those two on there were really just a bit silly about the whole thing and their comments made me quite annoyed, they're the types of people that hype up the "too posh to push" image that unfortunately gets cast on all the mums that really didn't want a c-section but needed one for med reasons.]]> Tue, 02 Sep 2008 09:14:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20585&PID=480928&title=anyone-watching-tv3-right-now#480928 <![CDATA[Anyone watching tv3 right now : Bombshell wrote:I personally...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20585&PID=480926&title=anyone-watching-tv3-right-now#480926 Author: jack_&_charli

there are many reasons why women have electives....just look at the csection section on here.

I dont think the too posh to push woman helped educate about why you have a c section at all!!! im all for c sections now and agreed with the woman who said it wasnt about THE BIRTH but the child at the end of it! How true!

Caitlyn's stepmum had a home birth with her first, it went fine , she wanted her second at home,but labour wasnt progressing and there were complications so she had him at hospital.

Cailtyn was very textbook labour with no painrelief , the idea of doing it at home next time round is tempting,....but heck , the hospital stay will be like a bit of a holiday for me ]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 23:57:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20585&PID=480837&title=anyone-watching-tv3-right-now#480837 <![CDATA[Anyone watching tv3 right now : I didn&#039;t see it, but I would...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20585&PID=480798&title=anyone-watching-tv3-right-now#480798 Author: mummy_becks

I see no problem with a home birth if you have already had a previous good delivery.

Personally, I wouldn't want to make all that mess at home and then have to clean it up! I think too that I would rather have the peace of mind of knowing facilities and medical expertise were available if something did go wrong.

I don't understand why anyone would go the elective c-section option - if you were worried about pain, surely you would have an epi but still have a vag delivery (unless of course you needed a c-s for medical reasons?)]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:35:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20585&PID=480787&title=anyone-watching-tv3-right-now#480787 <![CDATA[Anyone watching tv3 right now : i soooo want a homebirth for bub...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20585&PID=480765&title=anyone-watching-tv3-right-now#480765 Author: lizzle
