    It all depends on, if natural birth has positive effects on the newborn. If it has, your pov is wrong. If not, you are right. And since we don’t know for sure, nobody has the right to look down upon others opinions.

    Everything is “us against them” nowadays. Whey can’t we accept that other people might come to different conclusions?

      Natural birth does have positive affects on the baby; microbiome exposure, squeezing the baby during pelvic contractions helps clear out fluids from the lungs, pelvic contractions kick-start lactation.

      It’s also better for the mother, in terms of recovery time. Cesarean leads to permanent reductions in abdominal strength.

      That said, give people information and options and let them do what they want.
