Why Is This Important?

Compared to vaginal deliveries, cesareans carry an increased risk of infection, blood clots, longer recovery, and difficulty with future pregnancies. Reducing cesarean births among low-risk (nulliparous, full-term, singleton, and vertex presentation) women is a goal of the Healthy People 2030 initiative.
