[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The WHO target rate of 15 percent is made up. It is not evidence based. And it has been debunked thoroughly. Countries who have this rate have high levels of maternal and infant mortality. Please stop furthering this tired, incorrect, and outdated statistic like gospel. It’s damaging and irresponsible. [/quote]

What is your evidence for this assertion? [/quote]

Marsden Wagner made the number up in 1985. Gawande and the insufferable Neel Shah who is a midwife wannabe and total vaginal birth nut determined an optimal rate is 19 percent or higher. Doh.  [/quote]

Interesting, but it has a fatal design error: what about taking into account complications to future pregnancies? It is safer for that particular baby to be born via c section, not safer for baby #2 and certainly not safer for mom to be collecting multiple c sections. [/quote]

Yeah but having two planned C sections is pretty reasonable and low risk. If women want more kids than sure, risks go up but for one or two deliveries to
be C section risks are pretty low. [/quote]

But many women want more than two, or don’t know for sure how many they will want. Which is why the recommendation to avoid primary cesarean.[/quote]

Yeah except in the DMV among UMC most people are having 1-2 kids at 35 plus.[/quote]
