Exactly, there is no excuse for no consent.

Still makes me mad that so many are done as a result of some other intervention, usually stemming from an induction/augmentation which probably resulted in pain relief and or a baby in distress, likely an epidural so mum cant feel pushing. Of course, not in all cases. Just see it and hear it alot.

Get a doula for bare starters I reckon. If doula care reduces c/s by 50% alone then something is seriously wrong with how women are cared for in hospitals.
