[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone told me that her son has health issues because he was delivered by c-section. I had literally never heard this before, but she said it is common knowledge that babies born by c-section are missing some health benefits that vaginal deliveries impart. Is this true?[/quote] No. There are people who think the baby misses out on vaginal bacteria by skipping the birth canal, and that this leads to allergies. However, the evidence is against it on several fronts. Vaginal childbirth is not perfectly tailored to optimize individual health: like all evolution, it's the "just barely good enough to continue the population" solution. On a population level it works but in any individual case it can suck.[/quote]
