While i agree that some dr.s are doing c-sections just because not everyone does. My ds was delivered at 36 weeks via un-planned c-section because my water broke and my ds was stuck in my pelvic bone. A sectiom was necessary. I just wanted to share this so that people understand that a section is sometimes necesssry not just because.

Thanks for sharing hon. I actually didn't realize that the rate was still going up, given the backlash against elective C's. But when you look at the long list of reasons why, I guess it makes sense. Thinking of you, as always.

Same here, DD was in serious distress and was breech, there just wasn't time for anything else. I'm glad I had my C-section, but I'm hoping for a VBAC this time.

I'm also wondering if this article takes into account just primary C-sections or all of them...if so, subsequent C-sections is probably boosting the number a bit, too, with the number of doctors/hospitals who prefer no VBACs increasing.
