In the UK, probably about half of CS are maternal request. And the ones with “indication” are mostly non-absolute reasons not to labour…

Yavor Metodiev 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇧🇬 I am speaking in the context of the US as it seems that's where the author practices and I would argue that a non absolute CI from labor (i.e. h/o a prior) the most common reason for c/s in US, still has risks associated with it that patients may not be comfortable with.

The only truly elective cesareans are those solely for maternal request, rare. Pts also would be very triggered if we called a c/s elective bc most ppl do not want c/s

My least favorite one lately: older lady started getting lost in her neighborhood about a month after a procedure. One of her docs told her that it was from the anesthesia. Rather than the, you know, vascular dementia that he missed.
