More on Caesarean section
Description from Wikipedia:
thumb|A team of obstetricians perform a Caesarean section in a modern hospital. The image shows the very first moment the mother glimpses her new-born child.
A Caesarean section (or Cesarean section in American English), also known as C-section or Caesar, is a surgical procedure in which incisions are made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life or health at risk, although in recent times it has been also performed upon request for childbirths that could otherwise have been natural. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that the rate of Caesarean sections should not exceed 15% in any country. In 2006, the last year with available data, the rate of U.S. births by C-section was 31.1%, the highest it has ever been. In 2009, Caesarean sections were the most common operation in the U.S.
