Cesarean delivery — otherwise called a C-section — is a surgical procedure to deliver the baby, if the natural delivery is deemed either to be impossible or complicated due to several factors like wrongly positioned baby, health issues with the mother, placental issues, etc. The baby is delivered through incisions put in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. If there are no complications with your pregnancy, a vaginal birth is always safer than a cesarean birth. C-section certainly has an impact on the mother and child, which could be short term or long term.
Presently, some studies have found that infants delivered by C-section experience or increase the risk of several chronic health problems later in life.
The increased stress levels, in the course of a vaginal delivery, has a positive effect on the child. These stresses eventually activate the defense mechanism of the baby, preparing the child to expose to the life outside the uterus. This activation of the defense mechanism will not happen in the course of a C-section. This can be the basic reason behind the health issues, which mark the difference between children born via C-section and the children born vaginally.
The DNA pool in the WBC of the child, who born via C-section can be subject to certain changes, associated with the changes in the stress level explained above. These genetic changes can be the reason behind making the child born via C-section an easy target for developing immunological diseases such as diabetes and asthma later in their lives.
While C-section is a lifesaving method at times, it can put the baby in a complication that may have a lifelong effect. Some of the effects (even if not all of them, your child may be at a risk of receiving some of them) of a C-section on the baby include:
C-division may be essential when vaginal birth is unsafe for both mother and baby. Nonetheless, a C-section can bring about critical issues for the child when performed without a therapeutic need, when the mother (fearing the pain of natural birth) suggests it or doctor prefer it (financial interest) due to personal interest. On the off chance that you feel that your doctor is urging you to have a C – section without a valid reason, you are always free to go for the second opinion.
