Keira - I am on the same page as you here!

Caesarians are available not just for medical reasons but to provide an option which may make life easier for birthing women in a variety of ways.

I think obstetricians are sometimes unfairly criticised for a rise in planned caesarians, when the trend is because this is an option more women are asking for. And who cares anyway if there is a rise in planned caesarians in Australian society??? There may also be a correlating rise in the amount of birthing women feeling happy and liberated.
