Although I was married at 23, we waited to have children. My first was born one month before my 30th birthday. After 23 hours of labor, I had a c-section with the mid line incision that is no longer done.
Had two more sections at 32 and 34 and then was "fixed"!
This was during the 60's and I had to stay in the hospital 7 days with each one and not allowed to breast feed.

I am convinced that the current in-one day and out-the-next hospital births have a lot to do with the postpartum sad stories we hear about.
