What are the effects of caesarean section on the baby?

Caesarean section has become more and more popular in recent years. In fact, in addition to caesarean section, we can also have a natural birth. Caesarean section not only has a certain impact on our body, but also the baby in our belly will be affected to a certain extent. However, most people don’t know its specific impact, or have never understood it. So what impact does caesarean section have on children?

Babies born by caesarean section have weaker immunity. According to scientific research, babies born by caesarean section have relatively weak immunity and ability to resist external infections.

Babies born by caesarean section have poor lung function. Babies born by caesarean section are born directly without undergoing birth canal training, so the mucus in their lungs is not fully released, and their lung function is not trained. Therefore, their lung function is relatively poor compared to babies born naturally.

Babies born by caesarean section are very emotionally sensitive. Generally, babies born naturally need to be squeezed through the birth canal, so their brains are squeezed and have a certain resistance to the outside world. Babies born by caesarean section do not go through this step, so their brain nerves are still sensitive.

Babies born by caesarean section are more likely to suffer from asthma. According to a study by Harvard Medical School in the United States, babies born by caesarean section are much more likely to suffer from asthma than those born naturally. The main reason is that babies born by caesarean section do not go through the exercise of the birth canal, so their lungs and body immune systems are deficient, and the corresponding hormones are also reduced.

Anesthesia also has a great impact on the baby. Generally, caesarean sections require anesthesia, and anesthetics have a great impact on the human central nervous system, so anesthesia will also have a certain impact on the baby's central nervous system. In severe cases, it can even lead to the baby's death.

Generally, full-term pregnancy occurs at 38 weeks. If the fetus is developing normally, a caesarean section can be performed half a month in advance. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a uterine B-ultrasound check. If the placenta and fetus are mature, you can have a caesarean section. It is recommended that you follow the doctor's advice to choose the time of the operation after the uterine B-ultrasound check. There should be no problem. Keep a good mood!

A fetus is considered full-term if it is born between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation. If you choose a cesarean section, you do not need to wait until the symptoms of labor appear. You can schedule the surgery a few days before the due date based on the actual situation of the fetus. But don't do it too early, as the closer to the due date, the more mature the fetus is.
