Babies delivered by Caesarean section may have an increased risk for obesity in childhood, a new study suggests.
In the study, children born by c-section had double the odds of being obese at age 3, compared with those born vaginally, the researchers said.
The results held even after the researchers took into account factors
that might increase a child's risk for obesity, including the mother's
weight before pregnancy, her weight gain during pregnancy, and the child's birth weight.
Have you had a C-Section... were you born through C-Section... what was your experience with this issue??

+4I had my son via c-section 2 1/2 years ago. He is in the 50% for weight and about 100% for height. He is no where near over weight. I am not over weight either. A close friend of mine also had a c-section. My friend is over weight and her daughter is tiny. can't hardly keep fat on her!

+1I posted the entire article... true it was short. I have a sister-in-law that has had 2 C-sections, not for the reasons you noted. She is diabetic and the babies were very large. They took them early as well... and they were 9+lbs each. Today he is high school junior, and is small and she is a freshman, normal sized.reply

- AM 2012/05/24 14:58:23+4After passing out while watching the birthing video My husband at the time arranged for both my children to be born C-sect.They're 18 &21 now neither is overweight in the slightest.One has to buy "extreme slim" shirts.I believe genetics combined with sedentary lifestyle and bad eating habits are far more the culprit to obesity.reply

- Mz Understood 2012/05/24 14:54:23+1I wish they'd cram their "studies" where the sun don't shine. My (least favorite) sister-in-law had to have C-Section for both of her kids and both of them are thin as rails. IMO, they could both stand to gain some weight.reply
