C-sections have become festive social events in Brazil — and doctors aren’t thrilled:
Elective caesarean sections are a status symbol in Brazil, a way for wealthy women to avoid the uncertainty of natural childbirth, The Washington Post reports, and now, the trend is sparking a new industry of party planners who turn the operations into festive events, complete with an audience of family and friends.
Brazil has one of the highest rates of caesarean births in the world, according to the Post. C-sections account for 55.5 per cent of all deliveries in Brazil — and for 84 percent in private hospitals. The rate in the U.S. for all hospitals is 32.9 percent.
