I am a midwife in a tertiary level hospital. We receive women with high risk pregnancies and complications from all over the state. Thus our C/S might rate higher than others, yet we also have a high VBAC rate and good vaginal breech rate. In addition we provide the option of midwifery-led care for low risk women and a collaborative midwife/obstetric team for women with high-risk pregnancies. Thus the rate of C/S alone does not tell the whole story. Also, don't forget, Inductions and C/S are not always the hospital's idea, quite a lot of women plead for an induction or C/S and there are valid reasons for C/S - such as a low placenta, pregnancy complications etc.
