Too posh to push
Apr. 12th, 2007 10:06 pm`
There has been a sharp increase in the number of caesarian births in Australia over the past five years. The major factors attributed to this surgical intervention to what should basically come natural is convenience. Being able to name a time and place months in advance allows even the birth of a child to fit into peoples hectic lifestyles. It has become such a problem that the phrase has been coined, too posh to push.
What with OBGYN's having some of the highest insurance rates in the medical field, what they really need is expectant mothers demanding c-sections and induced labours so that they don't have to contend with the possibility the birth may interfere with some social event or heavens above they may have to do some work in delivering their new born. After all the only decent place to raise a sweat is the gym.
