This increase in C-sections has been attributed to many factors, but many would agree that the number could be less. It was surprising to see that China is facing C-section numbers that even higher than those in the United States. A MSNBC online article states that the rate of C-section in China is 46.2% for the country, while the city of Beijing saw %51 of its deliveries being done by C-section.

Those numbers have even the naïve thinking that something is significantly wrong. There is no way that so many C-sections could have been medically necessary. The article says that women who are laboring too long in some of the Chinese hospitals are hurriedly given a C-section. There are also incidences where C-sections are performed for the convenience of the mother because she is too afraid of the pain to go into labor or she wants her baby to be born before a certain date so he will not be held back another year for school.

It does happen and it has been happening more frequently in recent years. There has been an increase in the amount of c-sections performed in the United States. Also, is the fact that for many years there has been the belief that once a woman has had a c-section she should always have a c-section, but there are options out there for women to have a vaginal birth after a cesarean (VBAC).

VBACs are not performed by all doctors because of the risk of rupture of the prior c-section scar. The fact is that it has happened in the past and the possibility of the scar rupturing is possible. However there are many moms that have been able to successfully have a VBAC. There are even a few moms that have had VBAC after have 2 c-sections. The risk of uterine rupture does increase with the amount of prior caesarean scars.

Several resources are available across the web with detailed information about having a VBAC.
