Abstract:
We have been reminded many times in the medical and lay press about the views of London female obstetricians choosing elective caesarean section for non-medical reasons. This paper asked Scottish female obstetricians for their personal choice regarding delivery and showed that only 15.5% would choose elective caesarean section compared with 31% and 21% in two surveys of London female obstetricians. None of the women in this group who had had a vaginal delivery would choose elective section.
