The caesarian rate in Mexico is very high, which is good if you plan or end up having a caesarian, but not so good if you are trying for a vaginal birth.

As for registering the baby as a Canadian, there is official information here and more information here. Although your baby is automatically a Canadian citizen, you must register the birth at a Canadian consulate, otherwise you will not have proof that he/she is a Canadian. For example, you will need the baby’s Certificate of Canadian Citizenship to get his/her Canadian passport.
