Julie,
I can give you a lot of other examples (antibiotics overuse would be the 
universal #1) but the c/sections (at least in part) should be blamed not 
on OB's, but on lawyers.

And believe me, in breastfeeding medicine we are in much better shape 
then in the antibiotics battle, or - another example - in adoption and 
foster care medicine.
