I just flew Southwest with my 1 year old (11 months, actually) and it would have been ridiculous to buy a seat for her this time. She HATES her carseat and literally screams in it. I had her in my arms nursing the whole time. You know...

Nanette! UGH, how NOT reassuring! It's so sad that OBs feel that they have to do C-Sections to avoid malpractice claims but it is true! UGH. This makes me so sad. I hope you get answers from him that bring you peace of mind.
