A hopefully relevant power level: had a baby in the recent-ish history, and when I asked if I'd have to have a Caesarean because of a potential complication, my (seemingly very normal and professional) OB responded with "no, unless you want one." I was flabbergasted. I asked why on Earth I'd "want" one, and he just shrugged and was like "some women want a C-section and we try to accommodate when possible."Optional Caesareans are mostly done by lazy rich people. You can't tell me she didn't deliberately force them to do that.
Reason I bring this up: am not rich. I think it's just how health insurance companies and doctors operate in the US nowadays. It makes the doctors some good money and all that, so when an idiot who doesn't get that C-sections are an emergency intervention sign up for major elective surgery rather than a few days of pain, docs are like ok cool.
