• Un estudio sobre las interacciones entre mujeres y obstetras ofrece una explicación. Describía tres niveles de creciente desequilibrio de poder: En el primero, luchas y pierdes; en el segundo no luchas porque sabes que no puedes ganar. Sin embargo, en el nivel más alto de diferencia de poder, tus preferencias están tan manipuladas que actúas en contra de tus propios intereses, pero te conformas. La cesárea repetida electiva [es decir, solicitada sin motivo médico, no confundir con cirugía necesaria planificada de antemano] ejemplifica ese nivel más alto.

• Más allá de los riesgos inmediatos para su salud y la de su bebé, cuando una mujer opta por la cesárea, disminuye la posibilidad de volver a quedarse embarazada y aumenta la probabilidad de que, si se queda embarazada, el embarazo se produzca fuera del útero, una situación que nunca da lugar a un bebé vivo y que pone en peligro la vida de la mujer. Además, el riesgo de tener un mortinato inexplicado se duplica cuando la mujer ha tenido una cesárea previa.

• I did marry, I did get pregnant, but as I was giving birth, my daughter and I almost died. We were rushed to the hospital. I had an emergency cesarean and in that moment, in the emergency room, I felt my grandmother come to me. She was with me and when my daughter was born, instead of naming her Hailey, I named her Lucy after my grandmother. Hailey lives in the pages of my books.

• I was born an ugly duckling due to my mother's ill health. She wasn't supposed to be pregnant, there were all kinds of complications, she couldn't survive a cesarean section etc. She said, "They didn't hand me a child, they handed me a purple melon." I heard that when I had grown up and had no idea of the whole story because the family album had pictures of a covered carriage and my mother smiling so I assumed I was asleep.

• If birth matters, midwives matter. In Europe, there are hospitals where the cesarean rate is less than 10%, and you'll find midwives in these hospitals, you'll see a lot less re-admissions with infections and complications, and you'll see a lot less injury to mothers.
