C-sections have become more common today. Too common, according to a medical expert. DeMott, of the State Medical Society of Wisconsin, is concerned that the cesarean section rate in the U.S. climbed for the third straight year. Doctor DeMott says some physicians are reluctant to recommend a natural delivery if the woman had a c-section from a previous birth. But he says a natural birth is still preferable in those cases, as long as the woman is carefully monitored in the hospital.
Some doctors say a c-section can be less risky than natural birth.
