A UK national audit of the caesarean section rate, based on a snapshot of births in maternity units during a three month period, has shown that the overall rate for England and Wales is now 21.5% That compares with a rate in England of 4% some 30 years ago.
England was in the 1970s, when it doubled from 4% in 1970 to 9% by the end of the decade. By 1995, the rate was estimated to be 16% and in 1999 to be 19%
Factors associated with caesarean section rates included demographic changes, women's choices about childbirth, and the views of obstetricians.
