Cesarean Epidemic is a group here on cafemom aimed at discussing the growing cesarean section epidemic in the United States. In 1970 the cesarean section rate was 4%, today the cesarean rate has grown to 1 in every 3 births. In 2007, the most recent released statistic, the cesarean section rate was 31.8% of all births, up for the 11th year in a row.

Women need more education on simple steps they can take to avoid major abdominal surgery.

They are being lied to, and fooled into cesareans that could easily be avoided.

The website Cesarean Epidemic is also aimed at increasing education for all women on the current birth crisis in our country.
