When it comes to giving birth, there are many different options and decisions a mother must decide. There are many opinions and stories that accompany labor and the birthing process.

While there are more severe health risks to a C-section delivery, this can also be a life saving surgery for both the mother and baby. I believe Cesarean births should only be used when there is an endangerment to the mother or child during delivery. There is also controversy on whether or not C-sections are overused when not necessarily medically necessary. Many mothers prefer a more natural option for birth, as it can be a relaxing and more comfortable
