I had not heard of it, but I surmised what it might be. I can only say that the pushing stage of labor, requires a great deal of pressure exerted by the mother, and I have burst capillaries in my face and eye during one of the births. Speak to your doc, but if there is any danger of detaching or tearing a retina due to labor, a C-section is a safer bet. Retinal damage (depending on its severity) can result in blindness.
