Does cesarean section affect the baby's development? What are the dangers?

Many expectant mothers choose cesarean section to avoid pain, but in fact, cesarean section may affect the growth of the baby. So what effect does cesarean section have on the baby's development? What harm does cesarean section have on the baby? The following editor will give you a detailed introduction.

Effects of caesarean section on the baby

Baby's immunity is low

By comparing the complement content of umbilical vein blood of newborns delivered by normal delivery and cesarean section, the immunoglobulin content of newborns in the umbilical vein blood of the normal delivery group was significantly higher than that of the cesarean section group. The reason is that the immunoglobulin of newborns delivered by normal delivery is obtained from the mother during labor, especially when passing through the birth canal, due to the squeeze of uterine contractions. Caesarean section can reduce the immunity and anti-infection ability of newborns and increase the chance of infection in newborns.

Possible wet lung disease

Before the baby is born, it needs a certain amount of preparation time to allow the lungs to have sufficient conditions to absorb some of the fetal fluid in the lungs. The mother's uterine contraction and vaginal birth can help the baby squeeze the water out of the lungs. Babies born by caesarean section without labor pain or premature birth have a higher risk of developing severe wet lung disease.

Susceptibility to sensory integration disorder

The so-called sensory integration disorder means that what a child thinks and what he does are not the same thing. His thinking is often unable to restrain his behavior, and caesarean section is indeed a cause of sensory integration disorder in children. The unborn baby's every move in the mother's body is closely related to its future destiny. The normal delivery process of the fetus in the mother's birth canal is also an opportunity for the brain and body to coordinate with each other. Caesarean section deprives the child of the right to exercise sensory integration first. If a baby suffers from sensory integration disorder, coupled with unscientific infant education, the baby will easily have obstacles in learning and behavior when he grows up, and may even be mistaken for intellectual development disorders.

Susceptibility to ADHD

Caesarean section changes the birth canal, which changes the "environment" of the child when it is born. The normal birth canal delivery process damages the nerve contact and other senses, making the child more susceptible to neuropsychiatric diseases such as hyperactivity during growth. Although the IQ is not low, the grades are not good. This can easily cause great headaches for parents, and even affect the relationship between husband and wife.

The harm of caesarean section to the baby

Babies born by caesarean section are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases

Babies born by caesarean section do not experience the squeezing and stimulation of the birth canal, which will affect their immune system and lung development to a certain extent, making them more susceptible to respiratory diseases such as pediatric pneumonia and asthma. According to statistics from the UK, the probability of babies born by caesarean section suffering from asthma is 80% higher than those born by normal delivery.

Babies born by caesarean section are more likely to suffer from aplasia

Since the heads of babies born by caesarean section are not squeezed, their brains may be faster. But the fact is that these children often think faster than their hands, that is, they think quickly, but their hands and feet are weak and lag behind, which leads to often doing things halfway.

Children born naturally have stronger willpower

In fact, a person's life is similar to the situation when they are born from the birth canal. They all have to find their own way and then work hard to succeed. So children born naturally are tempered from the beginning.
