Children born by Caesarean section face greater risks in the difficulty of breathing

Denmrkjon, researchers said on Wednesday that the children who are born by Caesarean section is of necessity more likely to have problems breathing four times for those who are born natural birth.
The findings reinforce the evidence of the risks of elective cesarean delivery received by the increasingly popular around the world.
She said Hansen of the University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark, said the risk is greater when performed Caesarean section prematurely and called for women not to choose this action before the thirty-ninth week of pregnancy.
The exact cause that explains this increased risk to children born by Caesarean section is still unclear, but Hansen said he was likely due to hormonal and physical changes associated with childbirth.
Birth and lead to the firing of stress hormones in the mother, which in turn transmitted to the fetus where it is believed that these hormones play a key role in the maturity of the lungs which Tkonan water bursting of the child.
Are often cases of respiratory problems associated with cesarean birth is a serious but require in the usual place the child in the custody and treatment oxygen.
And Hansen and her colleagues based their report, published in the British Medical Journal British Medical Journal on a study of more than 34 thousand children in Denmark.
They found that there is an increase of almost four times the risk of breathing difficulties in children who were born by Caesarean section at 37 weeks and increased at a rate three times in children who were born by Caesarean section at 38 weeks and increase the rate doubled in children who were born in week 39.
As a result, about 10 percent of children born by Caesarean section have trouble breathing when born at 37 weeks compared with 2.8 percent of children who are born naturally through the vagina. At 39 weeks the rate is 2.1 percent, compared to 1.1 percent.
But Hansen stressed that the caesarean section still has many advantages, especially in the case of a child who shows his legs and buttocks during the first birth or when the child is in danger.
