This was me pointing out the word "natural" is loaded BS. Whatever one's view is on whether a baby should be delivered by C-Section or vaginally (which should depend on the circumstances, obvbiously) "natural" as a description is really silly. We aren't cave-people. We are incredibly thankful for it. We don't consider it a good thing to watch our children die and will intervene in all kinds of ways animals can't to avoid it. Anyone touting "natural" for anything, especially childbirth, should be treated with extreme caution.
Look how it's done:
If you're a fit, 19 year old mother with a healthy, correctly oriented fetus vaginal birth may be preferable to c-section.
Take "natural" the hell away from all of it. It's a sign of thinking being replaced by emotion which probably isn't a good idea if you think evidence based medicine is a good idea.
