The update came about because conversations with many women in the 7 years since this book was first published reveals little has changed in terms of a woman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s experience of a caesarean or the extent to which it is included in antenatal education and the need for up-to-date information is as vital as ever.<\/p>\n

That said, once a caesarean is agreed, ideas about how to improve the experience are being more readily accepted by some practitioners and the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcnatural caesarean\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 approach is now more commonly discussed. However, the barriers faced by women wanting to discuss their options in the first instance are still many. Hospitals and individual practitioners, driven by economics and\/or professional bias, continue to make things difficult for some women wanting more say their birth options.<\/p>\n

Despite the World Health Organisation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s retraction of their recommended target levels (retracted in 2009), which clarified that the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153optimum rate is unknown\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, hospitals continue to be threatened with unachievable targets and women labelled \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctoo posh to push, are blamed for driving the caesarean rate up.<\/p>\n
