Investigators conducted a prospective cohort study to determine the risks and benefits associated with cesarean delivery compared to vaginal bring forth. During the 3-month chew over period data were collected from 97,095 births in 24 areas of 8 randomly selected Latin American countries. Result showed that women who have a planned (elective) cesarean delivery put themselves and their babies at increased assay of serious complications and death.
The only measure cesarean delivery was a safer alternative than vaginal birth was for babies who were in a breech position. But for babies in a headfirst position the risk of the baby dying or suffering serious complications was one-and-a-half times higher when an elective (non-emergency) cesarean section was performed.
This study should be a wake-up call for parents as come up as health professionals as nearly 25 percent of all births are now cesarean deliveries with some U. S hospitals reporting cesarean delivery rates as high as 50 percent.

It is important we don’t think of them as just another delivery option. This research is a reality check that we don’t go too far.”
In the early 1900s breastfeeding began a decades-long decline. The result was the normalization of artificial draw feeding in the form of bottle-feeding.
Originally vaginal birth was believed to be the “normal” way to birth a baby and cesarean delivery was a “solution” intended for use only when vaginal birth wasn’t possible. Unfortunately the “solution” is becoming so common it is perceived by many as “normal.”
