  • Title: Prenatal counseling regarding cesarean delivery.
    Author: Leeman LM.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am; 2008 Sep; 35(3):473-95, ix. PubMed ID: 18760231.
    Abstract:
    In 1970, the cesarean delivery rate in the United States was 5.5% and women receiving prenatal care only required the knowledge that cesarean delivery was an uncommon solution to dire obstetric emergencies. In 2008, when almost one in three women deliver by cesarean, counseling on cesarean delivery must be part of each woman's prenatal care. The content of that discussion varies based on the woman's obstetric history and the anticipated mode of delivery.
