Non-insipid pregnancy site?

Wow, that's pretty cool! Thanks, BK!

Peru's c-section rate is ridiculously high, even higher than the U.S.'s. We found a place where they'll let you actually pop the kid out unless something goes drastically wrong, in addition to never doing episiotomies (sp?). Apparently that's really good, I don't know--but I figure, hey, women have been squeezing out puppies since before humans were human, surgical intervention probably isn't necessary except as a last resort. Also, the place promises privacy.

With that said, I have informed my wife that I will be a loving helper to her during the delivery, insofar as I will stand by her, reassure her, and never, ever look at anything south of her navel. Especially not once her lady bits starting spinning in circles vomiting like Linda Blair in The Exorcist, which I understand happens around the tenth hour.

Also, you're never to mention it again.

Mine didn't, however she did have 63 hours of labour and ended up with forceps, so it wasn't entirely fun.

She didn't poop for 63 hours?

She needs to eat more vegetables.

Brazil has a sky high C-section rate too reportedly because women are afraid a natural birth will stretch out their vaa-jees and then their man will dump them. It's retarded but there it is.

Worth bearing in mind that whilst women have been giving birth for thousands of years before modern medicine, the death rates for mothers and babies were both absolutely horrific.

If you need the modern medical help, you should use it. If you don't, brilliant!

Yeah, you can get to the nearest clinic from the "birth house" in like five minutes, and apart from being knife-happy during labor Peruvian medicine isn't bad.

Episiotomies are, generally, a good thing. If things are going to tear, you want them to tear in a controlled fashion. Perineal lacerations are, usually, not a huge deal and easy to repair, but they are painful.

However, they can get nasty. A fourth-degree perineal laceration will, literally, give your wife a cloaca.

The wife's objection is that they take ages to heal compared to just letting it tear.

You know, as a mod, you don't have to have DPs.

Too lazy to delete it. I normally delete them.

You may have missed the word "cloaca" in my previous post, so I'll repeat it here.

Cloaca.

Cloaca.

Cloaca.

I feel that this is something I should not look up using Google Image Search.

try wikipedia, it's generally safer. (Note: I didn't say that it was safe, just safer than google search)

It sounds like an undesirable outcome.
