That's a really good question again. Maybe we need to ask them.
I will give you a very personal answer.
I think that there has been an overmedicalization of childbirth for several years now. I am convinced that the people whose decisions led to this process had good intentions. They meant to save more women and babies, and believed that the interventions that were appropriate for at-risk situations were also appropriate for lower-risk pregnancies.
Unfortunately, we have seen that these interventions often cause a chain reaction. They start by using certain anaesthetics during labour, which might make it necessary to use forceps to deliver the baby, might lead to the use of medication to restart the contractions, which can cause distress in babies and therefore lead to higher rates of caesareans. This is what we call a cascade of interventions. This is increasingly being acknowledged in obstetrics.
I don't think all of this was motivated by bad intentions. I think all the doctors had the commendable intention of trying to save lives and babies. However, it did not achieve the desired results and people worldwide now question these interventions.
