Despite strong awareness among women and health professionals, the practice of cesarean sections continues to increase worldwide (+35% on average over the last 25 years). This increasement is often related to a choice of comfort and not to medical reasons. Sometimes, for medical reasons, a planned cesarean section before the start of labor is necessary. However, it is usually possible to attempt a natural birth, which has many advantages over a caesarean section. There are many misconceptions about the safety and presumed benefits of cesarean section, but also that a woman should have a vaginal delivery no matter what.
