 Excerpt: 

 "Assumption: Elective C-sections for big baby has benefits that outweigh the potential harms. Reality: Among women who are not diabetic, it would take nearly 3,700 unnecessary C-sections to prevent one baby from having a permanent nerve injury due to shoulder dystocia. If care providers recommend an elective C-section for extra big babies (>9 lbs 15 oz), for every 3 cases of permanent nerve injury that they would prevent, there would be 1 extra maternal death."

I'm looking forward to reading this, and I got the link from my local ICAN group, but the link hasn't been working!

Here's a clicky for when it does work: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-for-induction-or-c-section-for-big-baby/
