When you watch this video, please pay attention to the amount of pressure the obstetrician uses when pulling on the baby's head in attempt to deliver it.  In European countries, the obstetrician (or more commonly, midwife) catches the baby as it naturally is delivered.  In addition, in European countries most women do not deliver babies while on their back.  It is much more convenient for the doctor, but far more inconvenient for the mother and baby.  The weight of the mother and gravity push the tailbone upwards, reducing the size of the birth canal.  This seemingly small and insignificant detail, has increased the United States rates of C-sections to astronomical rates compared to other countries.
