50% of Turkish women give birth by Caesarian section.
When asked why this figure should be so high, most people suggested 'convenience' as the probable explanation. The doctor can have a bed ready, the parents can put the date in their diaries and the friends and family can order the flowers.
The World Health Organisation suggests 15% of all births should be c-section. In 2008, the UK reached 25%.

I've heard that some women try to schedule their c sections at 8 months so they don't get fat :-/
