Of course! They are not thinking of the patients' interests but
their own! Here are the reasons why they would 'recommend'
C-section :
1) Saves their time. Natural labour can be long-drawn and
unpredictable.
2) With C-sections, the doctors can control and determine the time
for delivery. Saves their time, they can earn more $$ spending the
freed time seeing other patients.
3) Surgical fees. The cost of C-sections is huge, compared to
natural childbirth.
Unless it's life-threatening for mom and/or baby, C-sections
shouldn't be considered, IMO.
