It IS extreme, but it happens. Usually it's something like "well, your blood pressure is a little high, so lets go ahead and have the babies".. I can't believe how many times I've heard something like that. And on the other side of it, the moms I know who have home-birthed had vaginal deliveries with full-term, 6-9lb twins. I'm not saying that home-birth is necessarily better, but the general approach to pregnancy and birth is so different.
The hospital where my mom works won't permit VBACs. It's simply "too risky".
America IS section-crazed. My mom has about as many sections as vaginal births at her hospital. Almost everyone there is drugged with medications that drastically increase the chances of a section, and women can ask for a section and get it. It's ridiculous!
