I’m not sure if it is true or not, honestly I’ve never had to have a c-section so I’ve no clue if it is a good thing or not. But according to the University of Alabama UAB women that give birth before 39 weeks via c-section are actually putting their babies at risk. How  The baby’s lugs and respiratory systems aren’t entirely formed. I’ve heard this before where no baby should be born before 39-40 weeks, otherwise complications are possible. As we know all preemie babies have a risk due to their size but now they are saying those that are being taken out early pose a greater risk. The 13,258 women studied were those who underwent an elective cesarean of a viable infant at 37 weeks gestation or later in the absence of labour or other obstetric or medical indications for early cesarean delivery prior to 39 weeks. The researchers looked at whether an infant who was delivered at 37 weeks later died or was diagnosed with complications. Of the 13,258 women who had elective repeat cesarean sections, as many as 35.8 percent were delivered before 39 weeks. The researchers found that babies born at 37 weeks, were two times more likely to suffer with conditions common to babies born too soon, and at 38 weeks, they were one and a half times more likely. Tita said these findings highlight the importance of not delivering a baby before 39 weeks for the sake of convenience. I’m not saying this is right or wrong, but I’ll ask you. Did you have a c-section before 39 weeks How is your baby doing Did they experience any problems Lets do our own little research right here.Tags: baby at risk, c-section, c-section risks babyShare This
