Really?!? The Birth Version.

Have you ever seen SNL? Yes? Well, this blog is going to be the "Really?!" segment, in birth news/stories edition. A place to vent all of the stupidity that is abundant in the area of birthing - in regards to media, politics, doctors and midwives, and even just women themselves.

Haven't ever seen SNL's "Really?!" news edition? Crappy version, but here you go:

First "Really?!"? Women thinking that because they knew someone whose sister's aunt's cousin had five cesareans and didn't have any complications, that multiple cesareans are fine and dandy. Really?! So let's go ahead and toss out the research that shows an increase in the risk for complications with each cesarean. Ya know, since your sister's aunt's cousin had five and was peachy.

Okay, so not all posts are going to be sarcastic and bitchy. Pretty much all are going to vent frustrations with what goes on in the realm of women, birth, midwifery, obstetrics, and child rearing though. So, if you're not one to understand that this is that place, feel free to click the little black X to the right of your current open tab. ;)
