PiscesC-Section Side Effect: 'Pent-Up Energy'?
Guest blogger Jessica Katz: When my daughter was born, she came by C-section. This was after 29 hours of labor and two epidurals. I tried to have a vaginal birth, but I was never, ever able to dilate past eight centimeters, and time was running out. So my birth plan was derailed, but I had a healthy daughter.

The bit about “pent up stress” sounds a bit like bull. Suddenly exiting into an air environment would produce the same traumatic experiences. However, I can believe the bit about contractions preparing the sinus system for pressure changes in the outside world. Your child is fine, I’m sure.
I’d also like to add that stressing the physical body and anxiety based stress are entirely different things. Your baby may not have experienced the physical tension and stress of compression/decompression, but this does not mean that the child is at an elevated risk of anxious stress.
What a load of crap. I had a C-section, and had the most pleasant child any woman could ask for. He was so content and happy. If anything I would think it would be the other way around with the stress a baby goes through when it is delivered vaginaly.
I had an emergency c section, and am a massage thereapist. Cranial Sacral work is excellent for everyone including newborns, and it is very relaxing. The pressure is not more than 5 grams of weight, and the idea that your central nervous system should be addressed, soothed, the casing (skull) should be gently touched to create fabulous side effects for the body, mind and spirit. Cranial work has been shown to be helpful in autistic kids and I still do it on my son whom they tried to vacuum out of me- talk about dangerous, the vacuum! People get out there, and open your mind with a little Cranial work- you will love it!!
Yeah, I’m with Nancy on this one. My son was delivered by c-section. He was a happy and content baby. Ideal. Quiet. Not fussy. All he cared for is to be fed and changed. He was a little angel till he learned how to walk. I’m not believing all that nonsense. We need to worry more about taking care of their needs now and whats ahead of them in life than worrying about whether or not they were stressed at birth.
LOL, this is ridiculous. When did we become a nation of worry-warts that have to diagnose EVERYthing??? Someone mentioned that massages are good for everyone, and that’s true. I can’t see how this treatment specifically could cause harm to the baby, except that it reinforces the idea to the poor mother that something is wrong with him.
I would like to know the creditial of the “experts”. Who exactly are they? What orgainziations are they affliated what? Claiming “experts says” is too much like “I read it on-line” Not everyone is quailfied to be an expert. And not evrything on-line is true.
There’s a big difference between “psychic to the stars” and doctors at Mayo Clinic.
Carol, not every doctor at the Mayo clinic is the be all end all either. I went there with a diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. The doctor I saw looked at me and told me if I really had a problem I would have worn simpler shoes. So ignoring people who heal the whole body while listening to the whole person because they aren’t an “expert” in my mind is just as ignorant as buying into snake oil.
What a great resource!
There are only two ways of telling the complete truth—anonymously and posthumously.
Hey, have been looking for reviews of people who know about this, and after browsing the search engines, I came to your article, and it is lovely write up. Too bad I took all these days getting to your site. Saved you in my bookmarks already. I shall return pretty soon. Just keep on writing your blog will get really popular.
I think your post was secretly a good start to a potential series of posts about this topic. A lot of people pretend to know what they’re talking about when it comes to this topic and generally, very few people actually get it. You seem to know about it however, so I think you should run with it. Thanks!
Pretty good post. I just came across your site and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you post again soon.

Hello there, - found this site accidentally when searching around the internet this morning, and pleased that I did! I like the structure and colours, but I really should mention that I’m having difficulty when it loads. I’m using WaMCom 1.1 browser for mac, and the menu fails to align nicely. i’m confident I have applied precisely the same layout on a customer’s online site, but the menu seems all straight on mine. I think the problem is with my browser & maybe it’s the perfect time to change!
Sounds nutty to me. I would be against any therapy that involved squeezing a baby’s head, but ordinary massage is good for everyone.
My kids were fine after C-sections.
Please remember that babies born vaginally can have birth trauma that causes learning disabilities or epilepsy.
