Natural Versus Caesarean

Just watched a video regarding natural childbirth.  I must say that I really cringe at the words, "give birth" due to the scary images of TV drama serials and my own mother's experience (she gone through the C-section aka Caesarean).  However, I have met a few relatively young mothers and most of them encouraged me to give birth in the natural way when my time comes.  One of them told me several advantages, one of which is that in some/rare cases if you choose to go through the C-section for your first child, there is a risk that you may not be able to give birth to another child (cannot remember the reasoning but it did discourage me to go through the operation and instead to go natural).  I am not sure how scientifically correct this information is but have tried researching a little on this.  Overall, it seems that there are aplenty advantages for natural childbirth.

Do watch this video if you are interested.  I'll pray about this and when the time comes, God will guide me to make the best decision for me and my future child. :)



Love,
Pam

Here is an article from New Nation, an online magazine I read. Former MM Lee Kuan Yew: The Singapore vision is your vision, not my vision. Pam Petite

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...
