[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am from Brazil and the elective c-section rate at *private* hospitals is over 90%. It is assumed this is the route all middle-class women prefer. I had my first baby there and did just that. I was shocked when I had my 2nd baby here in the DC area and docs actually asked me if I had a birth plan. [/quote] I lived in Brazil and have a lot of Brazilian friends and always found this interesting. None of them-including several doctors- ever considered anything other than a section. They view vaginal birth as something to be avoided and for poor or very rural people. Something you would do if you couldn't afford a good hospital and were likely to have tons of kids, which is not generally desired by the middle class and up. Increased risk after multiple doesn't really phase them because none of them ever planned or wanted 5+ kids. [/quote]
