It's true that I'm arguing from emotion, I'm extremely angry about the biased information available to prospective parents. There's plenty of evidence about that in the OP. I'm also arguing based on research I've done subsequent to our daughter's birth. One in ten women will suffer a prolapse with significant symptoms at some point after a vaginal delivery. Because it happens after the birth, not during it, it never gets included in any statistics about birth complications. Basically, there is zero information about this risk ante-natally, so people cannot make informed decisions. If we had had all the information that we have now before the birth, we would have at the very least considered a c-section and probably insisted on one, which is why I recommend everyone investigate it for themselves and consider it.
