The latest stats I can find on Canadian Caesarian rates are from 2003, which says 22.5%. The World Health Organization says the rate should be 10-15 percent.
No delivery room. Just a regular hospital bed, and all the rooms were private, so it was quite nice. Had the baby, got tidied up and fell asleep with him in the same bed.
I don't have a problem with hospitals, just with the harm that a lot of them cause babies and mothers. Your hospital sounds like a pregnant woman's dream. Hospitals in Scandinavia have great reps, too.
I'm woefully lacking in knowledge of childbirth in Canada. I should really get a copy of Giving Birth in Canada (which I just discovered five minutes ago), especially if I ever want to do any international travel nursing. I've always shied away from labour and delivery because I'd go home frustrated and angry after every shift, but if I could work in a hospital like yours, I'd be golden.
I can't wait to see this film. Hopefully it'll be distributed up here. There's always Amazon.
There's always Your American Friend Who Likes to Fileshare. *g*
I think it'll be available on DVD, though, because I'd imagine the producers want to reach as many people as possible.
