  Enjoy Birth Blog — Authority: 422
  I remember reading A Thousand Splendid Suns  and being so disturbed by the cesarean done on the mom with the breech baby WITHOUT anesthesia.  The hospital didn’t have the supplies or trained people, which led to this situation.  It made me feel better about my cesarean.  At least I didn’t feel it while it ...

  News Moms Need — Authority: 128
