Description:In 2020, 31.8% of live births were to women who had a cesarean delivery. The rate of cesarean delivery was lowest for women who were underweight before pregnancy (20.7%); the rate rose steadily as BMI increased to obesity class III (52.3%). One quarter (25.1%) of women of normal weight had a cesarean delivery.
