Ahh, yes! I remember you were the one who told me about this research regarding the nuns!  It would be perfect to use that.  I know I can only touch on this - the main focus is on the best way to get a strong pelvic floor - but I have to include some stuff about it.

Someone here will probably know Kylie

But the best research of disproving that type of birth (except forceps damage) impacts on continence
Was done using Nuns (yes Nuns).  It revealed that the nuns experienced the same rates of incontinence despite having no children!!!

There is a book called “Water Works” by someone Chiarella (who is a bit of a continence expert) it may have the nuns and other appropriate references in it.  The UK NICE (Nat Institute of Clinical Excellence) Guidleines on C/S have a bit on C?S not protecting pelvic floor etc.  See www.nice.org
Anyone have the Nuns reference??
