It's a lot more complicated to have a c-section than it is to get off your back for a delivery. Like this mother I had a very normal and healthy pregnancy--even lost weight during the process--however my OB went against my wishes to give birth on my knees or in a squat position and made me give birth on my back...and induced me using pitocin--again against my birth plan wishes. Now my son has BPI. If my OB had listened and allowed for me to give birth on my knees and had they not rushed the process along then my big guy may not have gotten stuck--I'll be pushing for a 'get off your back' campaign in my community and educating people about this injury.
