I didnt vote because I dont think the whole "name and shame" thing is black and white. Too much grey for me. Will take alot of tinkering to get it acceptable to everyone I guess. I do agree that a) every hospital should be forthwrite with their statistics, and b) it has more to do with interventions and women's misinformation.
I would think its rare that there are cases of vaginal being more life threatening than csection. I fully intend to vaginal birth any baby I have thats breech for example because I dont think the risk is that great that I would need to undergo major abdominal surgery, that comes with its own risks, without trying a vag birth first. I would be considered putting my childs life at risk if you go off the scare mongoring of a high majority of OBs and hospitals.
