South Orange County Hospital Cesarean Rates
Saturday, April 10th, 2010I picked these hospitals out of the California List, because they are the ones my doula clients go to.
They do not surprise me. The hospital I recommend to all my moms is Saddleback. It is the most NCB friendly and have policies that are set in place to help it have low interventions. (for example: OBs have to fill out a surgical report if they do an episiotomy)
