That is an interesting theory although it doesn't apply towards my labor but

you just never know. One thing I also found was that most of the CS babies

I've talked about seemed to have been delivered face up. I think that this

is mainly due to the fact that their heads only move in certain directions

when they are fused.

I just realized this was from my Vaccinations egroup and not my

craniosynostosis egroup. I'm not sure was your C/S stands for so just

ignore the previous post I guess. Sorry.

diane,

i hope i don't offend you by asking, but this is something that i know almost nothing about--craniosynostosis--i understand it is when the bones of the head fuse together too early, etc. but do you know why, or have any opinion about why there has been such an increase in this condition in recent years? i remember someone saying once (i have no idea where), that they suspected that it had something to do with the increasing frequency of ultrasounds--that they cause cell disruption and cause pressure on the fetus...know anything about this theory?

I had two babies that were face up, bad back labor and delivered vaginally with an epidural because the back pains were horrible.

Just to clarify, in my original post I did mean caesarean section, not

craniosynotosis. Sorry for the confusion.

Actually, I've never heard of there being much of an increase in craniosynostosis at all. I have heard of many theories though. Ultrasound, pelvic constraint, head descending too early etc. None of this held up for me though. Actually, my husband had it too although they are not saying it is genetic...just a fluke...yeah right.
