Belly Belly statistics?

so with all the talk of statistics how about we do a poll of all the suggested ways for our statistics to see where bb sits??

C-sections termed emergency 9
C-sections termed elective 3
C-sections termed elective with pre-existing medical condition (that one would be an eye-opener! As Kelly says, it's less than 1% of electives who are maternal-request for no medical reason!) 5
Vaginal births 56
Drug-free births 24
Epidural uptake 17
Labour artificially initiated 18
Labour artificially augmented 26
Instrumental birth rate by mode (forceps/ventouse) 9
episiotomy rate 6
2nd-4th degree tearing rates 18
midwife to patient ratios 1:1-28 2:1- 24 3:1- 3 4:1-2
