Why is scheduling c-sections bad? I think it just reflects the reality of our society. First of all, people don’t seem to like giving birth. A vast majority of those who give vaginal birth get epidurals. Is that really preferable? Or is it preferable to writhe in unspeakable pain? Also, women are busy. Scheduling the procedure helps birth fit neatly into a chaotic life. Is that wrong?
Getting epidurals (or pain medication in general) is a cultural thing. Just compare with the Netherlands, where home births are fairly common and pain medication is relatively uncommon.
