About 25% women in the US deliver by C-section. In the SF Bay Area this number is close to 50%.

In many cases the method is chosen because of its convenience (control over the timing, anesthetic, and etc.)

Also a significant number of women deliver under epidural anastesia. In our hospital it was close to 40%.

I think epidural is one of the factors creating environment for C-section profileration.
