> This source seems anti-natural from birth to breastfeeding.
Well yes, because the author is a doctor. The maternal death rate from "natural" child birth is 1,000-1,500 per 100,000 births. In the U.S., it is just 26.4.
> Sure, there are many times when C-section is appropriate and has saved lives, but it's currently being over prescribed because of hospital guidelines that doctor's need to follow or risk malpractice liability.
The data in fact shows no evidence that it is being "over-prescribed." If it were, you would expect to see worse maternal outcomes in countries with higher rates of C sections, and you do not.
