My eyes have just opened as big around as baseballs. And I think my jaw just hit my desk.
This is shocking, staggering, and heartbreaking.
at least the spokesmodel looks happy. :(
One wonders why they bother with vaginal birthing at all. Maybe they don't and just enough moms show up crowning to keep their rates from being 100%.
lulz. awesome turnaround.
Talk about false advertising... How can they claim to "baby" moms with a c/s rate like that?!
When I first saw the "We baby newborns" sign I thought it was a poorly translated sign in another country that someone was going to poke fun at. Something about it reads wrong...
And then the shocking 71% statistic. Though to their credit, the "and their moms" is in a MUCH smaller font. And you kind of have to baby C-section moms for the first few days, so I guess they are true to their words.
I'm with Miranda on this one. Cannot make my eyes go back to normal size.
Beyond flabbergasted!! I am surpried any obstetricians are still in business!
Mission accomplished!
My midwife posted this to facebook and I have to say I'm not surprised. My primary care physician (who is also an educator) told me that he guessed the c-section rate in Miami to be around 70% - I guess he was right. This is why I'm TERRIFIED of birthing in a hospital. (I live in Miami)
MomTFH, I believe we're done here. Mission accomplished, indeed. Time for ice cream and cafecitos.
Amanda, I understand your fears about Florida hospitals. There have been so many horror stories coming out of Florida hospitals in recent years. I'm glad you have a midwife and there is a strong South Florida community of midwives, OBs, doulas and activists who are intent on reform. Let me know if you need any intros... would hate for you to stay away from a hospital if that's where you would prefer to give birth.

I live in Miami.
Funny, when I was pregnant I had to choose between Kendall Regional or South Miami Hospital. I had heard that South Miami was better than Kendall R in that aspect so I went to South Miami...... guess what.... I ended up with an unnecesarean anyways.
