I voted "no" on the "shaming" aspect of the question. While there's no harm in information being available forums such as this one allow women to research and discuss hospitals and make informed decisions.

The hospital I gave birth at has a very high c-section rate, I knew that in advance and I spoke to my ob my about it because I was worried. He told me the figures are distorted because they include all the women who have chosen elective c-sections, of which there are a high number on the Gold Coast.

As it turned out, the number of emergency c-sections at my hospital was very low compared with other hospitals. My doctor never even suggested it to me, it never came up in conversation again after I asked about it on our first consultation.

Perhaps hospitals with high c-section rates are simply honouring a woman's right to choose the birth she wants, not forcing c-sections on unsuspecting women.
