[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one’s mentioned increased c-section rates. Something about vaginal birth is good for the baby’s gut, or so they say. [/quote] My anecdata is: DS1 - non-medicated vaginal birth; nut allergy DS2 - C-section; no allergies I realize I'm only 1 person, but it's very common for 1st borns to be allergic, and less common for 2nd. I do think it relates to the gut though.[/quote] In my own family, my younger sister was the c-section, and she’s got so many environmental allergies she can hardly leave the house without breaking out in eczema or hives, or having her blood pressure drop dangerously fast. She was also the kid more likely to play in the dirt. I was the bookworm. I only had a bit of childhood eczema, which I’d outgrown by puberty. [/quote]
