Women are reading this book, women who have had a cesarean section, women who haven't, women who want to be better informed. If all patients were routinely provided with relevant risk disclosures it is likely that some patients might wish to assume the maternal risks and benefits of c-section to avoid the fetal and maternal risks of attempting vaginal delivery.

This is the first book ever written describing the positive aspects of cesarean section and hysterectomy. Recommended by experts, it is sensitive and humorous, and it reads like a warm conversation between friends.
