Exclusive: Nearly a quarter of all babies born in NSW hospitals are now born via elective caesarean, as older mothers with private health insurance ask for the procedure | Kaubo

Nearly a quarter of all babies born in NSW hospitals are born via elective caesarean, as older mothers with private health insurance ask for the procedure.

Almost one in four of all deliveries were elective C-sections and 12.4 per cent were emergency caesareans.In private hospitals, elective caesareans alone accounted for more than one-third of their deliveries compared to one in five deliveries in public hospitals. "The vaginal birth rates after caesarean are pretty low in NSW - around 15 per cent, but it continues to decrease more quickly in the private sector," he said.

"The second time around, [the decision to have a caesarean] had a lot to do with COVID for me," Mrs Kinlan, 39, said.
