Cutting the Baby Out

It is now known and confirmed that the high rate of cesarean sections at birth is caused by litigation. Fear of litigation and perceived safety concerns are among the key factors influencing the decision to perform a cesarean section, according to a major international literature review conducted by researchers at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin.

Obstetricians are expressing their concern about this and leaving the profession. Too many children are born by an operation.

“Litigation, the fear of litigation, and the fear of risk are driving every aspect of society so that mothers can’t even have their baby without some midwife, obstetrician, or general practitioner working in fear. That has to change.” p. 22

[T]he ability of mothers being able to have their children in the country has gone. Simply, there are no birthing units, midwives, or trained doctors outside big cities. They put in computers and telehealth machines instead of doctors (see Chapter 1).

Children are being born by the side of the road.

With this, obstetrical services have also disappeared, and I truly believe that mothers and children will die. “Cutting the baby out” should not be the future of birthing in this country. p.25
