Risks of C-section

This organization have some wonderful handout on many different issues facing pregnant women. Since I had just written about avoiding a c-section, I thought I would post the risks of having one. I find the hazards of repeat cesareans particularly interesting. We hear so much about the hazards of VBAC and the lack of accessibility, I think if most women sat down and looked at the long term risks and benefits, they may work harder to avoid them in the first place and then would fight harder for their right to VBAC. http://www.vbac.com/pdfs/CesareanFactSheet.pdf
