No they're talking about general reduction of bed rest after birth, not that c sections have shorter hospital stays. It is also describing a process that originated in the 19th century, not a recent phenomenon.

Yeah, I read that now. "Holistic" is a bit vauge for me to understand wholly, it can mean a few different things. I had three days rest at the hospital, but was expected to take it easyfor 6 weeks post. I wonder how much rest was recommended 100 years ago to what is recommended today.
