A federal study released Thursday found that the percent of C-sections fell from 22.8 percent in 1989 to 20.7 percent in 1996. That drop followed national concern that too many caesareans were being performed, especially for mothers giving birth again after an earlier C-section. However, there was a slight increase in the procedure in 1997 following research that found a risk to mothers delivering...
