Thanks for the research. I remember reading that prior to John Edwards “channeling” his cerebral palsy plaintiff, C-sections made up about 7% of births. After that multi-million dollar lawsuit, the number jumped to 25%.
It appears that even more OB-GYNs are “playing it safe” and opting for the C-section.

Their liability insurance is horrendously expensive. It sucks but what choice do they have? If they get sued and lose then they can’t get insurance and cannot practice.
