This topic has always been controversial, but it does impact considerations of your being on some insurance panels. Regardless of your rate, you should quote your primigravida rate. Do not include repeat C-sections; otherwise, it will be higher.

"My C-section rate has fluctuated over the last few years. My total rate is at the mercy of repeat C-sections that have presented to me as new patients. My primigravida rate is about 24%, and I am taking steps to bring that down, such as modifying the timing of epidurals and aggressively assuring a functional labor. Also, continuing medical education opportunities have always focused their efforts on ways to bring this rate down, and I keep current on the subject."
