Somebody needs to hear this: 60-80% of cesareans are not medically indicated (necessary). The cesarean rates are dictated by lack of education on management of normal labor meaning keep your hands off. Unnecessary artificial indictions of labor and fear and laziness both on the part of the OBGYN.
The United States is the only country besides Canada that has more obstetricians than midwives. And why is this a problem? Because obstetricians are SURGEONS. They are trained to operate on anesthetized people who don’t question their qualifications, knowledge or expertise. Patriarchy 101: if a white man tells you it’s necessary. You do what he tells you. Except now, white women are taking the place of the Patriarchy and the Matriarchy is even worse because they have swallowed the lie that women are inherently inferior by design hook, line and sinker.
Moral of the story: get you a midwife.
Why do cesarean delivery rates persistently rise despite evidence-based efforts to reduce them? https://ow.ly/186h50YseMc
