It depends on the insurance. Like I said above, many insurance companies consider that c-section is less costly in the long run as with the natural birth there may be more procedures required in case of any complications.

Could you provide a reference, please? CS in fact has a higher risk of complications, because it's considered to be a major surgery. While natural birth is NOT. And yes, I'm all for natural birth unless it's an emergency or medical condition.

Do you really want me to gross you out and scare those who are getting ready to give natural birth? No, use google, you are a smart girl, I am sure.
Regarding insurance, there is the same billing code for elective and c-section for medical reason. Do you think insurance companies will chase after doctors every time they see a billing code for a cs? Maybe some small lousy companies with life-time coverage limits , annual limits, and things like that.

My dear, it takes A LOT to gross me out. I worked (or should I say volunteered) as EMT so have seen enough gross things. And BTW NB is part of what EMT has a legal right to assist with. Just saying...

So... I did try to search for any facts that insurance prefers to pay (much more) for CS than for NB, and couldn't find any. So could you post some links, please? I'm very curious to read...
