A member asked:

What are common reasons for c sections?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several: Protracted labor, unusual fetal position, fetal distress, abnormal fetus, previous c-section, large baby with small outlet, fatigue. Unfortunately some are done for fear of legal reasons and because it is convenient for the mother or the doctor.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
