The supposed lecture was:

> This is just wildly ignorant, they're concerned about occlusion of bloodflow through the cord and/or the carotid artery.

And no, this is not an accurate lecture. Most of the time that particular lecture is delivered by doctors who actually know it is not an issue, but want to scare patients into being in hospital for other reasons.

As for the post that started this thread, I have a context that you don't. I recognized the circle of ideas that would have been in that natural childbirth class. And so had context for where they would come from.

Thread started with OP claiming that doctors were worrying over something which is completely safe.

OP was then corrected as to the mechanics of the situation.

Yes, it might be relatively rare for the complications to occur.

Yes it is your choice if you have issues with medical care and choose to stay away.

None of this changes the reality that OP was talking nonsense and your response is pure speculation and anecdote.
