    I vote no. Naming a hospital because they perform high c sections is an indication of what again??? Majority of the mothers to be ....have knowledge of both options and do their research as a result...the option they choose is based on a number of factors....and it is between the patient and the Doctor.

    I totally agree, the hospital has no say in whether you have a c-section or a natural birth. I made my choice with my obgy and told the hospital that's what was going to happen. I admit that it is not the nicest experience however, I got two healthy babies delivered safely....and that is all that should matter. So i feel that if you feel that you are not being informed or feel that you are being pressured into a c-section....find another dr!!!

    easier said then done in the public sector of hospitals as you get what your given and not everyone has the money to go private.

    And such a comment yet again emthasises the need to find out the statistics so you can PICK your own hospital!
