Planned C-section births doubled in the past 20 years in Scotland

As per new figures, the number of planned C-section births in Scotland has doubled in the past 20 years, Public Health Scotland informed.

It said that there were around 8,884 elective cesareans last year – where the surgery has been planned in advance – this is up from 4,285 C-sections done in 2001.

Consultant obstetrician Dr. Rosie Townsend, a senior clinical research fellow at the University of Edinburgh, said that most of the women were having their first child by cesarean.

Townsend said, “We know that Caesarean section rates are really rising in a lot of areas of the world, and what we’re seeing in Scotland is really consistent with rises in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.”
