Should c/s rates be published? Naming & shaming...

[canberramomma]

I dont see how sending her back after a "traumatic" birth is worse than sending her home after a C/section, if she has no care afterwards????

And I cant see how if you had to travel 100kms away, a c/section would be better if there is no medical need? A vaginal birth where your up immediatly and can leave asap, or major surgery? I would of thought it a no-brainer....

Well, you have just illustrated m point exactly. It is of absolutely no benefit for women and children to publish these figures per region as every region, as with every birth, has many different variations!
