Hi,
I am 12 weeks along and chose Lankenau for the birth. At my first visit I was very happy with my Doc (Dr. Utberg), but since then I've heard how Lankenau is considered C-section haven (rates about 40% for all births. Pennsy is less than 30%).

Any thoughts out there? If you did deliver at Lankenau, how was your experience?
