Birthing in Brazil

I wanted to find out more information about birthing in Brazil. What I found was actually very shocking. In Brazil, 93% of babies born to middle and upper class families are born via Cesarean Section (C-Section). The reason being fears passed down from generations.
1. There is a fear of the pain of childbirth
2. Vaginal birth will damage their bodies
3. Most obstetricians believe that cesarean delivery is safer than vaginal delivery
Most of the mothers actually want a normal birth, but agree with their doctor to having a C-section. 

In comparison to my personal birthing experience, this is the complete opposite of what I experienced. My aunt did not have a C-section, neither did she want a C-section. She was advised to have a vaginal birth for all 3 of her children. I personally have been terrified of C-sections especially after seeing a lady in my church suffering from an infection from a C-section. 

An additional insight I gained, is that birthing varies cross culturally. I never that that people had fears such as the Brazilians when it comes to vaginal birth. I am sure that Brazil is not the only country facing these fears and more. It was very interesting to read this.
