Cesarean Section: An American History of Risk, Technology, and Consequence
This excerpt from Cesarean Section: An American History of Risk, Technology, and Consequence examines the dramatic rise in cesarean section rates in the United States. The author explores the interplay of shifting medical practices, technological advancements (like electronic fetal monitoring and ultrasound), evolving perceptions of risk, and sociocultural factors (including the influence of women's magazines and the rise of second-wave feminism). The text traces the history of cesarean sections from rare, life-saving procedures to commonplace surgeries, analyzing the consequences for both mothers and infants. The role of medical malpractice concerns and economic incentives within the healthcare system are also considered. Finally, the author presents a multigenerational perspective on mothers' experiences with cesarean births and their attitudes towards the procedure.
