Mortality rate of a c section

[anonny55]

C section - 1 in 4200
Vaginal birth - 1 in 25000

Mums who had an elective c section, did this not freak you right out? It's the only thing putting me off. It seems high!

Also, did your baby need time in the nicu as there's also higher rate of babys needing neonatal care from c section births.

I nearly died during my last vaginal birth I’m under a consultant because of this, this was a meeting at 22 weeks and I’ll see her again 33/34 weeks good luck!

This is silly. My baby didn’t go to the NICU because the c section made them. They were delivered by c section because they were poorly in the womb already (hence the need for NICU). These stats arent being used correctly that you posted at the beginning of this thread
