"CPD" busted

CPD- When a babies head or body is too big to fit through the mothers pelvis. This diagnosis is way overused in the US. So much so that women who have had cesarean sections due to being told this are now going on to prove thier previous car providers wrong and birthing babies LARGER then the babies that were suppose to be "too big". More and more women are questioning that old "your pelvis is too small" line that so many women over the years have been told. ICAN(International Cesarean Awareness Network) posted this video on Youtube full of mothers who birthed babies bigger then their CPD babies who were cut from thier bodies who were only blamed.

I know many women who have been told this and have birthed babies double the birth wieght of their CPD babies. The increase in induction has increased the cesarean rate and the CPD diagnosis ad when you are induced you lack alot if not all of the natural hormones released in your body during natural labor. Womens bodies do not "fail" inductions because their bodies are working wonderfully! If that baby is not ready to come they arn't ready to come.
