I spent about 10 minutes trying to find some kind of data base but it looks like the only way to find out is to actually call your local hospitals and ask. Some sites and specific stats for certain areas but it appears that the way they got those stats was from calling the hospital (so someone did the leg work and put it on the web). There isn't any kind of national registry or anything. I think just as important is asking your OB what their c/s rate is.

And for the record, I don't fault anyone for choosing a c/s, especially in the heat of the moment when all you're concerned about is making sure your baby comes out alive. So no judgment here <img src="">

again-not judging anyone's choice. of course, the #1 priority is keeping the baby safe. as i said in my first post regarding this topic, c sections are life saving procedures.
do not mean to beat a dead horse, was just highlighting another opinion on the subject.
in the end, the fact that we can have/raise children-regardless of how they came to us-is the miracle.
