I'm planning on having her naturally (no c-section, hopefully no drugs) in Sao Paulo (probably at Albert Einstein and was wondering if you could tell me more about your experience giving birth in Brazil, what to expect, ask for, etc. Since I'm totally new to the whole birthing scene I'm a little bit unsure of what to look for/ask for while looking at hospitals and options in SP. Any wisdom or thoughts you might have would be so helpful to me!

Even in the US having a natural birth feels like a battle, I can't imagine how it must be in a place where the rate is 80%! but it's true, my best friend is from Brazil & she had 3 c-sections for no stated reason & she was astounded that I'd want to have mine naturally. So I had her in the delivery room for my last 3 babies to show her how amazing it is!<br />Congrats to you & your family! Also, thank you so much for your blog!

What saddens me here is that I think that many Brazilian women are led to believe that there isn't actually a choice...sections are somewhat obligatory for many people - their babies are too big, their hips are too small etc etc....Most of the time (and in most other countries) these babies could and would be born normallyTashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550031687493642175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8061333570118798348.post-65912593584361584032010-11-29T13:40:19.279-08:002010-11-29T13:40:19.279-08:00@Florencia

I am 100% for natural birth and Holland is THE place for that. During all the pregnancy I had the supervision of midwives, I followed a gym course and everything went well - twice. Brazil is the world champion of unecessary c-sections 80% of all deliveries are like taht ! This means $$$ for the doctors and hospitals and they push since the beginning of pregnancy for that kind of surgery. My mother in 1969 had to state loud and clear to doctors that it would be a normal delivery. She had to insist on that during every pregnancy (3). She prepared me for the benefits of a normal (or natural if possible) delivery - luckily I was living in Holland where that is rather the norm than the exception.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03565051295371049516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8061333570118798348.post-81447527204796982782010-11-29T02:39:26.687-08:002010-11-29T02:39:26.687-08:00Hey, we should start a branch of the NCT here!

Also not a mom yet, before I was unemployed and was "trying" I shared this with my US-doctor who refused and told me I'd be hard pressed to find a doctor who'd agree to a voluntary c-section. Some people might say US doctors refuse because it costs more to do a surgery. Who knows. <br /><br />Glad I moved to Rio. Now, doctors who'll do a voluntary C-section gladly are a dime a dozen. When I'm ready, I'm glad to know I'll be able to make that choice without breaking my back to find a willing doctor or lying on an insurance form to prove "necessity".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
