Have any of you heard of this before? Asian women with their smaller pelvises being more susceptible to c-sections because their EA babies are too big for them? Someone told me this "theory" the other day, and I'm curious to know if there's any validity to that.
So, for all of you who had Asian moms and Caucasian dads, how did you enter the world?
I was a c-section, but only because my brother was a breech. My sister before him was born normally. The theory does not hold true for my family.

I wasn't a c-section either. I don't think this theory is true, probably just a myth.

I read that somewhere in the internet. But I'm not so sure of it, I mean there are asian woman with black men who have without any problems black childs. So I'm not so sure if there could be a problem with a asian-white child  Lol, my father is asian and my latina mum told that she had a complicated birth only with me  |

C sections are over used is the United States. So an Asian woman giving birth in a western society is going to have a cesarean section--not because her white husband--but because of her white doctor. Wrong white guy.

I was born naturally, in HK. Apparently I had a big head and freaked my dad out when i popped out.
And I've also heard in Asia (from a pregnant colleague) that doctor's.. 'cut' women to make it easier for the baby to come out naturally due to the smaller area. And my friend (non-chinese) who gave birth in HK made it part of her birthing plan to forbid the doctor from cutting her no matter what.

ps: My Daughters Birth has been very complicated: it took 24h (!!!) - almost twice C-Section (the docters has been saying C-Section, then another one said no, then again C-Section......)
In the endeffect, my Daughter has been pulled out with a vacuum extractor, but no C-Section. I had an infusion of oxytocine.
She is a 11 days "overdue" Baby, I begged the docters to take her out by force - they actually wanted me to wait untill the 14th day of overdue, but I wanted to be sure that she is alive !!!
Hehe, this is because I didnt have any contraction, nothing at all ;D
pps: plz just ignore my terrible spelling mistake, its almost 4:30 cet here and I'm f*cking tired ^^'

Hehe, this is because I didnt have any contraction, nothing at all ;D pps: plz just ignore my terrible spelling mistake, its almost 4:30 cet here and I'm f*cking tired ^^' Heh, sounds kinda like my birth. Even though I was a c-section baby born at 9 lbs., it had nothing to do with my mom's pelvis size(she's EA and has a pretty "normal" sized pelvis). My birth was overdue, but somehow I just didn't want to come out. She was in labor with me for over 20 hours, and the doctors and staff felt it would potentially pose some danger to me if I was left longer in there, so the choice was made to have a c-section. My bro was a natural birth. Haven't been able to find anything online about this, but I'm very skeptical of that "theory", sounds more like a myth to me, along similar lines of the myth about Asian women being "tight", conjured up by folks claiming interracial mixing as "unnatural" using that "theory" in their arguments for whatever agenda they have against interracial mixing. Think about it- Asian women giving birth to full Asian babies...those Asian babies aren't much smaller(if smaller at all) than their EA or white counterparts. If they're able to naturally give birth to the former without any complications, I fail to see why they wouldn't be able to do so with a EA/mixed baby of a similar size. Sure, there are variations in size of newborns, but none of it in direct correlation with ethnicity(not that I've seen for the times I worked in the hospital by the neo-natal unit). And who's to say there aren't white women with small pelvises. I'm more than half asian and have pretty wide pelvis/hips. |
