A cesarean birth can be scheduled to meet both the doctor's and the patient's needs. And then there are the birth's aftereffects. At one European hospital, a fifth of all women who had a second baby reported suffering urinary incontinence after their first born, while fully a third suffered from incontinence if they'd had five babies. For obvious reasons, older mothers are more at risk than younger ones. When forceps are used, the peritoneal damage is worsened.
Fecal incontinence is another result here.
Finally, there is the sexual component, as the expansion leads to less satisfaction for both partners. Now many of them want to go right back to the hospital. It seems very space-age. Women are taking back their power, demanding to have their babies their way. And there's something slightly creepy about it all.
