Every year since 1983 no fewer than one in five American women has given birth via major abdominal
surgery.22, 34 Today one in four or 25 % of women have a
cesarean for the birth of their baby.22 The rate for first - time mothers may approach one in three.9 Studies show that the
cesarean rate could safely be halved.11 The World Health Organization recommends no more than a 15 %
cesarean rate.34 With a million women having
cesarean sections every year, this means that 400,000 to 500,000 of them were unnecessary.No evidence supports the idea that
cesareans are as safe as vaginal birth for mother or baby.

cesarean section compared with vaginal birth.14, 29 Complications during and after the

cesarean section, women are more likely to experience negative emotions, including lower self - esteem, a sense of failure, loss of control, and disappointment.
They may develop postpartum depression or post-traumatic stress syndrome.9, 20,25,31 Some mothers express dominant feelings of fear and anxiety about their
cesarean as long as five years later.16 Women having
cesarean sections are less likely to decide to become pregnant again.16 As is true of all abdominal
surgery, internal scar tissue can cause pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse, and bowel problems.Reproductive consequences compared with vaginal birth include increased infertility, 16 miscarriage, 15 placenta previa (placenta overlays the cervix), 19 placental abruption (the placenta detaches partially or completely before the birth), 19 and premature birth.8 Even in women planning repeat
cesarean, uterine rupture occurs at a rate of 1 in 500 versus 1 in 10,000 in women with no uterine scar.27
Especially with planned
cesarean, some babies will inadvertently be delivered prematurely.1 Babies born even slightly before they are ready may experience breathing and breastfeeding problems.21 One to two babies per 100 will be cut during the
surgery.33 Studies comparing elective
cesarean section or
cesarean section for reasons unrelated to the baby with vaginal birth find that babies are 50 % more likely to have low Apgar scores, 5 times more likely to require assistance with breathing, and 5 times more likely to be admitted to intermediate or intensive care.4 Babies born after elective
cesarean section are more than four times as likely to develop persistent pulmonary hypertension compared with babies born vaginally.17 Persistent pulmonary hypertension is life threatening.
