And let's not forget that you have to sign a consent form for a c/s, unlike natural labour, so if something happens during surgery you cannot sue because you have signed a form, whereas if something happens during natural birth the obstetricians are more liable. I reckon that is a huge incentive for them wanting to do c/s's.
I agree with Flea, personally I have been referring to emergency c/s done without good reason, not elective. I don't care if people have elective c/s. Doesn't make any difference to me, I have no opinion on that one way or another. What does concern me is emergency c/s done unnecessarily and having another woman feel the way I did. I wouldn't be human if I wasn't concerned about that.
