Understanding Cesarean Section Rates: US Statistics & How to Inquire

Question
How do I find out an ob's percentage of c section delivery? Also,Hospitals overall percentage?
Through hospital? Office? I dont want to offend my wifes Dr. by asking directly.
Thank you.

Answer
You ask her doctor. The doctor will not be offended with the question. The overall cesarean section rate in the United States at this time, is from 20%-25%. Studies show that this rate will approach 30% in the near future. Women are moving away from VBACS and some are asking for elective cesarean sections (even for their first baby).
