Hooray, another C-section topic.
Here are some facts about C-sections:
C-section rates in the United States in 1965 were 4.5%
C-section rates in the United States in 2007 were 31.8%
Between 1996 and 2008, the C-section rate in the U.S. doubled. However, during this time, infant mortality rates did NOT improve.
What do you think about these stats? If the infant mortality rate did not improve from more C-sections, why do you think more C-sections are being performed?
