Soo,
See the appendix of "Birth By Design" for comparisons of c-sec rates in
several countries. The most recent number in the US, 2003, is 26.1%! (see
website of NCHS)

Hi, Soo
Ive got a reference giving a 24% CS rate for US, it's not an exciting
website or anything like that but it may give you a clue looking at its
references.

Soo, when you receive this information it would be very interesting to know
it. There's an ICM group working on a position statement around CS at the
moment, and any further data could be helpful.
