- QAPereo 9y agoYou don’t see more than 10%-15% of live births in a large population requiring cesarean for medical reasons. In the US the rate is over 34% of live births via cesarean.
- rayiner 9y agoThe statistic is useless without reference to mothers' health and weight. Heavier moms are at higher risk for C sections, and the U.S. rate of obesity is much higher than in Europe.
- kaitai 9y agoIn the US, breech babies (4%) are automatic C-sections almost everywhere regardless of maternal condition. This is not true elsewhere. There are also a fair number of purely elective (mother-chosen) C-sections in the US. Obesity is a factor but it does not account for US C-section rates.
