Here's an interesting article in the LA Times regarding the number of C-Sections in the United States. Sometimes surrogate mothers (gestational carriers) have had a C-Section previously and prefer to have a vaginal birth during a surrogate pregnancy. What are the risks? Dr. David Lagrew from Saddleback Memorial Hospital addresses this concern.
Dr. Lagrew was my OB during my pregnancy as a surrogate carrying twins. He could have easily taken Baby B via C-Section after Baby A was born vaginally. Instead he waited close to two hours for Baby B to move into place and arrive as his brother did!
