• A C-section is often performed when a normal
  delivery will put the baby's or mother's life or
  health at risk. WHO says that cesareans should be
  done based only on medical need. Some are also
  performed upon request without a medical reason
  to do so.
• Established guidelines recommend that c-sections
  not be used before 39 weeks without a medical
  indication to perform the surgery. Sources says
  that in 2012 about 23 million C-sections were
  done globally.
• Cesarean rate in Turkey is 50.4 per 100 births
  which is the highest compared to cesarean rate of
  world countries.
