C-Section Stigma and Diastasis Recti: What Every Mother Needs to Know

from The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast · host Peter Lap

Send us Fan MailThis week it's just little old me again as I talk about the weird, frankly insane, stigma surrounding c-sections.A lot of chat on my social media feed was about c-section this week so I thought I'd spend a bit of time going over the numbers;What % of women give birth via c-section in various countries?What is the reason for most c-sections? (hint, it's not "too posh to push!!")Why do doctors recommend c-sections for certain women? (hint; it's not "to make money"!)What % of c-sections is elective? (it's a LOT lower than most people think..and even then there are usually very good reasons for it)I also talk about the "diastasis recti is an adaptation" argument a bit and compare it to Wolverine's claws. Very useful in a fight, not so much when you want to open a jar of peanutbutter.As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.
