CDC report on 2007 rate of c-sections.
What really bothers me about the results is that the data states the rate of c-sections has increased by 50% in the last ten years .
Have women's bodies changed that much in such a short time? I mean, I believe in the theory of evolution, but isn't that a little fast for biological change?
Maybe all women have all gone soft and can't handle the process of birth on a mental/emotional level? Nope. That can't be it. I know many strong women who have had c-sections and yet are amazing people.
Hmmm. Maybe this increase in insurance paid, surgical procedures has its origins in the way doctors are encouraged to process their decisions.
Theory yes, but an increasing number of studies looking into our birthing process seems to be pointing in that direction.
