Not to mention, the ultimate long-term effects of these drugs are totally unknown at this point.

What was that drug -- DES? -- that was given to women during the 50's to prevent miscarriage? It didn't prevent miscarriages, but many daughters born to women who were given the drug had subsequent reproductive organ issues.

While I am certainly one of those who thinks there are many, many unnecessary C-sections in this country, I think a C-section is a lot better than some serious health issues down the road for the baby.
