Title. Throw away away account, so I can't up/downvote anyone.

Terrified/Excited so many emotions. We're going to bring our first child into the world.

Problem is I fucking hate doctors. Don't trust them at all. I'd like some resources for looking into the best way to avoid unnecessary doctor fuckery.

For instance, if it ends up being a boy, they'll want to chop part of his dick off (ain't happenin') but what other bullshit do they try to put your offspring/ wife through?

I'm not against vaccines, but looked at the recommended course and it's like, how many fucking vaccines does an unborn child really need? They need vaccines in utero? I'm not buying it. Or the vitamin k shot to infants? So many questions, I'd really appreciate any advice y'all have to give.

We ended up actually, definitely, and incontrovertibly needing a C-section

What factors lead to this? I'm always curious at what point is a C-section absolutely necessary? These days it seems like they've turned it into a convenience and make it the rule rather than the exception.

Sorry bud, but I don't discuss anything about my kid online.

They exist though. Death in child birth used to be common as fuck, and still births even commoner.

They don't name it after Caesar for nothing.

Not a doctor, but placenta previa seems to be one of the more necessary reasons. It's when the placenta is between the baby and the birth canal, and is plugging it so the baby can't deliver. There seem to be differing opinions on misoriented birth (breach/feet first, turned around the wrong direction, etc) but they are all exactly what RoofKorean was talking about when he said death in childbirth was common. Also, blood pressure problems for the mother.

Your doctor should be able to tell you the reasons WHY it is necessary, and all of them that I saw are easy to understand and make intuitive sense.
