[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vaginal delivery plays an important role in developing a babies microbiome which we are still learning to understand the importance of. “The development of the microbiome begins in utero, however factors related to the labor and birth environment have been shown to influence the initial colonization process of the newborn microbiome. This “seeding” or transfer of microbes from the mother to newborn may serve as an early inoculation process with implications for the long-term health outcomes of newborns. Studies have shown that there are distinct differences in the microbiome profiles of newborns born vaginally compared to those born by cesarean.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5648605/

“Children born via cesarean compared to those born vaginally are more likely to develop immune-related disorders like asthma/allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, and obesity”.

For these reasons, I’m hoping to deliver vaginally. If there’s a medical reason preventing me from doing this, c-section is a great alternative available to modern women. [/quote]

[b]Saying c sections cause allergies/IBS/obesity is the 2020s version of the 1950s theory that autism was caused by mothers who didn’t love their kids enough.[/b]

+1000  But I feel like it's become a FTM rite of passage that you have to buy way too deeply into having the crunchiest birth possible, so that a couple of years later you can read posts like this and the lady who provided a bogus photo and feel second-hand embarrassment trying to remember what you posted when you were pregnant with your first.

Next stop: babies that aren't breastfed all turn out to be sickly and obese with ADHD.[/quote]

Major eye-roll at all those studies that are just correlation, not causation. Yep a lot of pregnancies and babies with complicated issues result in C-sections. It's not surprising that these correlations exist.

I am the product of a C-section and had one myself, both for medical reasons, and very grateful for it.[/quote]
