Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 I feel extremely sorry for her. No matter what she does or doesn't do she is going to be in the wrong. There will be endless debates about their choices i.e. bf or bottle, jabs or not They won't get any peace. Says she adding to the debate!!

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 >Lovely news. I know it shouldn't bother me but I'm *so* glad she had a VBAC >and not an elective c/s. : If only to make all those smug male Obs that have been quoted in the papers for the past 6 months look foolish! There was an article in The Times today saying " the overwhelming majority of doctors will be pleased that talk of Mrs Blair having a non-surgical delivery have proved unfounded " . It is even accompained by a diagram of all the people expected to be present in The Blair Caesarean Team. Good for Cherie - she obviously had her own reasons for rejecting a CS (her DH not taking leave must be a strong contender!) but being so high profile, hopefully she will make other women ask questions when they are being rail-roaded into CS.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 I think the publicity that she was able to leave hosp within 2 hrs of delivery will make people reflect more about c/s / interventions. At least (for them) they avoided the media circus that the royals have been through when they left hosp, & she is now on home territory.

Has she made any comments before about > breastfeeding does anyone know? according to the Mail on Sunday (so it must be true ;-) she is breastfeeding..... 'Baby Leo Blair will have a highly traditional and loving start in the world. His mother has chosen to breastfeed him and has told friends she wants her new son to share his parents' bedroom.' There's also an article with quotes from Beverley Beech about CB choosing VBAC with the mail medical correspondent commenting on the fact that caesarian is major abdominal surgery (I know everyone here knows that, but lots of people I know don't look on it that way so to see it in b & w always helps).

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2000 Report Share Posted May 21, 2000 > my DS1 said well she's done it three times before what > does she need a caesarean for!! > Out of the moths of babes!! Tony said yesterday that Cherie had a very difficult time the first time needing intervention (forceps I presume?). He missed the second birth which was early and he was away. The third was a c/s and so this was the only " natural " birth he had witnessed. He looked *so* proud, it was lovely. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
