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.
