For most people, the cesarean section procedure is a sufficient alternative to vaginal childbirth.  But before agreeing to undergo such a procedure, it is important to understand the risks involved.  When a baby is born through c-section, it is more likely to sustain surgical cuts.  While this is usually a minor issue, these cuts may sometimes get infected.  Newborn babies are at a higher risk of developing serious complications from infections because they have less-developed immune systems.

C-section born babies are also more at risk to develop respiratory problems and asthma.  With today’s technology, the risks of your child’s life being at stage are minimized but still pose a threat.  Also, babies born vaginally are more likely to breastfeed from their mothers.  This means that these babies will receive all the required nutrients to grow properly during childhood.

Knowing the risks involved is the first step to protect you and your baby.  The most unpredictable complications can occur still and an added risk is that doctors will be exposing your baby to very sharp medical tools.  If you feeling your doctor may have been negligent if handling your baby call our Birth Injury specialists at 866.950.9000.
