I definately think these figures should be available to women but shaming come on!!!
I really think as a country we need to start taking some responsibility for ourselves it becomes way to easy to play the blame game eg Mcdonalds is causing obesity! We are an educated race of people, we need to go into our births as we would any major event in our lives, well informed and aware of all the outcomes. The only person i blame for my 1st birth is myself i went in and handed my body over to the hospital, if i'd done my homework i would have known better.
I cant help to notice also that all the women on here who have had CS feel they have to "explain" WHY they had a CS (which i am finding myself at the moment with the looming posibility of an elective CS) i think articles like "naming and shaming" cant help but to make women feel like they have to explain why they arent birthing naturally.
I think the days of CS being conceived as a wonderful, painless, easy way "out" were well in truly but to bed in the 80's, that is not the perception of anyone i know.
