This website http://www.cesareanrates.com/ is awesome and will show you your hospitals c-section rate.
Lets remember, and I'll say it a thousand times, the World Health Organization WARNS not to exceed 15%.
From 2009 - 2010:
- 46% (21 out of 46 states) of the USA have shown a decrease, even if just a slight amount, in their c-section rates.
- 54% (25 out of 46 states) of the USA have shown an increase in their rates.
- Approx. 10% (5 states) have not had an increase or a decrease in their rates, but they are all between 7 - 18% higher than the warned 15%
- The average, in 2010, for 51 states was 31.9%
