Here is a report of C-Sections Rates in Utah 1992-1997

If you are going with a provider that does not deliver in hospitals (ie, a birth center or homebirth service), be sure to ask your midwife what percentage of clients end up with a Cesarean as well.  Usually, that number is well below any hospital rate.

Time Magazine recently ran an interesting article on risks associated with repeat Cesareans.
