Even so, I agree with you in a sense and I'm not worried about my private parts.

I am sorry.
I should have known better than to post it the way I did, without qualifiers.
I know a BIT of what it is like - in my last pregnancy, I was, for several months, headed for a planned C-section because it appeared, on the ultra-sound, that I had placenta previa. Luckily, it was not a true previa - it was just a low sitting placenta that moved up enough as the uterus grew, so I was able to deliver at home, and although I started hemorrhaging a lot due to the low placenta, the midwives, who expected that complication, stopped the bleeding in a twinkle of an eye.
For a "true" placenta previa, the C-section is the only way to save both mother and baby. Without a C-section, both mother and baby die eventually.
I had that eerie feeling when I thought that I had a placenta previa. I thought to myself: "I am really blessed with medical technology - had I been living thousands of years ago, my days would have been numbered."
I am sorry.
Very true.
