Yes- absolutely.

It is our right as Australian citizens to know what goes on in the hospitals in our country so that we can make informed choices about birth. It doesn't mean that the hospitals need to be 'shamed' as such- but the statistics should be available to the public. Why should people fear knowing the truth? I also think there should be a law to protect doctors from being sued, as i think this is the main reason doctors go into a pre-emptive-panic and recommend c/sections just because there is a 'chance' or a 'risk' of something going wrong. There are less risks involved in a natural birth, but doctors do not have full control of a natural birth so it seems to make them nervous?? I think they need the freedom to relax a bit more and let nature take its course. In the instance where something DOES go wrong, then appropriate action can be taken. But doing invasive surgery 'just incase' defies common sense in my opinion. Especially when it is common knowledge that c/section increases risk in future pregnancies- where is the logic in that? Ok- I am ranting here. Rest assured it is the medical system I have issues with- not women who have had c-sections!!
