This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the number of births per 1,000 births to Santa Cruz County residents that were cesareans to low risk expecting parents without a prior cesarean.
Why is this important?
Vaginal birth is associated with fewer complications compared to a cesarean birth because it does not involve major surgery. Pregnant persons who are low risk and have had a prior cesarean birth may be good candidates for a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
