191. Re-release: Should I have a vaginal birth or a caesarean?

In this re-released ep of The Kick, Dr Pat and Brigid cover the pros and cons of both vaginal birth and caesarean birth.

This is a very chatty episode because the answer is…nuanced.

The first question we delve into is why someone would ask this question?
In this episode we talk about:
•        A medical indication where a Caesarean section is suggested.
•        A history of trauma, or fear surrounding vaginal birth.
•        Concern about sexual function after vaginal birth
•        Maybe a birth story has made someone think ‘nope, not for me.’
•        Or they feel a planned Caesarean section seems more manageable.
