From what I have seen Brooke I dont so much see the c/s being pushed on them, but like I spoke to a client a couple of days ago, as soon as they decide you need a c/s in labour, its madness, all systems go and you are left out of any decision making process. Be that because the couple feels they don't know better or the decision has been made for them.

Some women are trusting when their Obs tell them they need a c/s, for example, some Obs will try and book women in for caesars for low lying placenta in their second trimester and will explain risks. What mother will argue with that? All about education... some women and men just have no idea and completely rely on medical people for their care. I would still like to see the day that midwives are the first point in care for women, then they are referred to Obs if need be. Of course, Obs would be available at hospital, but I really think women spend more time with midwives than Obs while giving birth, so they should get to know the midwives more and of course their Ob if that's what they need to do.
