caesarean

While the caesarean team was preparing, the hospital's midwife managed to deliver the baby with a pump.

More importantly, article also mentions that Caesarean births, due to non-exposure to maternal vaginal microbes, might result in lifelong mental health changes.

They could control for this by testing a group of kids delivered by caesarean.

My impression is that after 2 hours, artificial methods get used (pump, caesarean).

All it would take for a Bobby Tables[0] moment is a mother to have twins delivered by caesarean and given the same name...

One hypothesis I've heard for explaining peanut allergies is that the much greater number of caesarean births is to blame.

Indeed, midwifes attend Caesarean sections, as part of the surgical team.

Donald Trump is so powerful at spreading misleading propaganda, I hope he will fails to convert US into a Caesarean state.

There are only 25 possible settings for a Caesarean cipher.

A female-to-female familial predisposition to caesarean section was observed.

I enjoyed this post: A caesarean section in 18th-century Ireland - Irish midwife Mary Donally saved a woman's life by performing a c-section in 1738.

Soon after birth or a caesarean a woman should be resting, not pushing a buggy around just as anyone should be resting after a massive pelvic dislocation or abdominal surgery.

> "Large-scale epidemiological studies indeed evidence that women born by C-section are more likely to deliver by Caesarean than women born vaginally, owing primarily to genetic rather than social factors." Interesting.

Early antibiotics in the 1930s, followed by the mass production of penicillin in the 1940s, “drove down incidences of sepsis, [which were] responsible for 40 percent of maternal deaths at the time, and made caesarean sections safer,” they write.

TL;DR men saw money/opportunity in stealing women’s confidence in their natural and intuitive ability to give birth, built up tools and laws around it, and now we are stuck with a high caesarean AND fatality rate even despite this “progress.” I went to school to be a hospital midwife until I discovered what a sad racket it is.

Why do they wait so long?" crowd - including reminding folks why Caesarean sections aren't horrible, even ones like the one I didn't have to have, strictly speaking, but had a good chance of sparing me an injury I would have had a very hard time dealing with while caring for a newborn.

What if the twins are delivered via Caesarean, with the exact same datetime recorded?

The calculus in that case is probably a tradeoff of unlikely but very bad outcomes (death by homebirth) vs quite likely somewhat-bad outcomes (unnecessary Caesarean, unnecessary rushing, etc., by hospital), I'd think.

When my son was born by surprise Caesarean, I think that was one of the things my wife and I were most worried about - that she would have no memory whatsoever of our son's first few hours of life.
