Cesarean Delivery - C-section babies face a higher risk of obesity

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. First performed by German gynecologist Ferdinand Adolf Kehrer in the early 1880s, a Caesarean section procedure is a surgical operation made when circumstances require an urgent delivery of the baby, via an incision made in the front wall of a woman s abdomen. Nowadays, almost one in three children is delivered by C-section in the United States. According to a new study, C-section babies could face a higher risk of obesity, than those born by normal vaginal delivery. Learn more about the cesarean delivery and its impact on children s health in this book.
