In 2023, 32.3% of live births were cesarean deliveries in the U.S. while 67.7% were vaginal deliveries, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Certain stressors in patients' lives, such as having low income or limited access to prenatal care, can potentially lead to increased C-section rates.
Cesarean deliveries were higher among non-Hispanic Black individuals (30.9% [1 477 110 of 4 786 902]) than Asian or Pacific Islander individuals (28.0% [651 948 of 2 330 997]), and Hispanic individuals (27.6% [1 691 606 of 6 138 771]), among those with a maternal age of 35 years or older compared with 20 to 34 years ( ...
