As you may know, the United States has been on a mission to decrease the cesarean birth rate among nulliparous, term, singleton, and vertex parents. Among first-time parents, cesarean births happen almost 3 out of 5 times on average. While cesareans can be life saving in some situations, there has actually been no data on improving maternal or neonatal morbidity or mortality. What we do know is that cesarean births come with an increased risk of infection, blood clots, complications in later pregnancies, complications with anesthesia, and more.
In this episode, Sarah and Justine will discuss the current data on cesareans and what the trends have been over the last couple of years.
