Did you see this today? The c-section rate hit 29% in 2004! Almost a third of all babies were delivered that way:

The
reporter who wrote the article, Rita Rubin, wrote the book "What If I Have a C-Section?," which more and more women would benefit from reading. You name it, this book covers it: why c-sections are done, how they're done, what you can do to avoid having one, and how you can recover as quickly as possible. Buy it in bookstores or on Amazon :-).
