And learns to prefer the bottle over the breast. And so more often than you might think, both baby and mom end up giving up nuts for them.

Yeah, right. So, yeah.

Yeah, right. So, yeah.

Yeah, right. So, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I think C-sections obviously can be life-saving and are necessary in some circumstances. But I just think that in some birthing centers, they're just a little bit too cavalier about it. You know, mom's got something coming up or the doctor's got a vacation. You know, it's just... You know, you're at 40 weeks now. Let's not let it go too long.

Let's just do a C-section, that kind of thing. Or let's induce, same sort of thing. So mom and baby have evolved a really good communication system for when baby is supposed to come. And we're not always really good at estimating what the exact conception date is. We know that because, you know, some babies are conceived now through artificial insemination.

And we know then when they are conceived. And we know that we're a little bit off when we're estimating using ultrasounds and when mom thinks her last period was and so on. So I think they're overdone, basically, is the short answer there. They're life-saving, wonderful interventions, if done appropriately and much more sparingly than they are done now. Same with inductions. I agree.

I'm not a real expert in that, but what I've been told by my moms and people that have them is it can interfere a little bit with pushing and getting the baby out. And so then that increase your risk of some doctor saying, oh, we better do a C-section here, that kind of thing.
