I really don't see the point in "shaming" the hospitals with high rates of c/s birth rates as there is so many different circumstances which impact the reason for women having c/s births.
I for 1 had my baby delivered by c/s last year and by no means did i really have a chioce even though it states on all my records that it was "elective". I had a scan on the Monday night and sent to the delivery suite to be monitored as my fluid levels had decreased significantly and my placenta had stopped functioning.I was sent home to pack my things and told to come back the very next day to have my baby.

As far as I'm concerned my c/s saved my babys' life as along with the above medical issues he also had the umbilical cord wrapped tight around his neck and was knotted. I was told the next day that he would not have survived a single contraction or much longer in the womb the way things were. He was born 3.5 weeks early and in reasonable health.
He is now a very healthy 1 year old thanks to my OB and her decision.

I don't want to scare people but just wanted to share my situation... I certainly would not hesitate having another c/s in the future.
