[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe anyone would opt for a c-section if it wasn't necessary. Cutting through several layers, including muscle, to deliver the baby. The recovery is difficult and painful. [/quote]

But female Obgyns generally opt for it.  
It’s actually safer for the mother and baby. [/quote]

Havent seen the data on this- delivery choice by profession- and considering only 1/3 of babies nationally are born via csection....

I asked my provider about this actually. She said if you consider the age at which most women have children and map that against where a doctor is in her career, it’s typically more about timing to be predictable with residency and other professional demands. She said if medical school and residency had mandatory maternity leave more OBs would delivery naturally because they know about the risk of successive c-sections. This is, of course, anecdotal, but the perspective is interesting.[/quote]
