A Caesarean will always be offered if medically advisable. In the case of parents simply making the choice to opt for one in the
absence of medical evidence to support a need, your doctors will discuss this with you and this is where different hospitals have different policies. As for the cost of a private Caesarean, it will vary from hospital to hospital, and many NHS hospitals do not offer them privately, but is typically several thousand pounds.
