AB In  the  United  States,  the  cesarean  delivery  rate  rose  most  dramatically  from  4.5  percent  in  1970  to  32.9  percent  in  2009.  The  rate  has  since  plateaued  and  was  31.9  percent  in  2018  (Martin,  2019).  Some  indications  for  performing  cesarean  delivery  are  shown  in  Table  30-1.  More  than  85  percent  of  these  operations  are  performed  for  four  reasons—prior  cesarean  delivery,  labor  dystocia  or  arrest,  fetal  jeopardy,  or  abnormal  fetal  presentation.  The  latter  three  compose  the  main  indications  for  primary  cesarean  delivery  (Barber,  2011;  Boyle,  2013).  Efforts  to  lower  these  rates  are  outlined  in  Safe  Prevention  of  the  Primary  Cesarean  Delivery  by  the  American  College  of  Obstetricians  and  Gynecologists  (2019b).
