However, they carry additional risks such as severe bleeding, scarring, infections and more longer-lasting pain, compared with a vaginal birth. The bowel or bladder can also be injured during a CS operation and blood clot (thrombosis) risk is higher. Women should be as informed as possible about their childbirth options, so they can have an informed decision in the process. During vaginal delivery, muscles squeeze out fluid from newborn\u2019s lungs reducing the risk of breathing problems. The embryo receives an early dose of good bacteria in the birth canal that accelerate their immune systems and protect their intestinal tracts. Women who had CS are less likely to begin early breastfeeding than women who had a vaginal birth. The recovery period after delivering is also longer because a woman may have more pain and discomfort in her abdomen as the skin and nerves surrounding her surgical scar need time to heal. Once a woman undergoes a CS, she is more likely to have a CS in her future deliveries. She may also be at greater risk of future pregnancy complications, such as uterine rupture, which is when the CS scar in her uterus ruptures, and placenta abnormalities. The risk for placenta problems continues to increase with every CS a woman has.<\/p>\n<p>Studies find that a vaginal delivery covers a baby with beneficial bacteria. Babies born vaginally have a decreased risk of certain immune system disorders, including asthma and allergies, compared with those born by CS. Vaginal delivery exposes babies to several beneficial bacteria, including <em>Lactobacillus, found mainly in the vagina <\/em>and colonizes the newborn&#8217;s intestine, helping in the digestion of milk. The vast majority of microbes are helpful and even necessary for body functions. The microbes in the gut determine how efficiently a person processes nutrients, and help to regulate our metabolism. During pregnancy, the composition of bacteria in a woman\u2019s vagina changes so there is a higher concentration of Lactobacillus. A baby born by CS will miss out on immediately acquiring these beneficial bacteria. The mode of delivery has been associated with differences in intestinal microbes even 7 years after delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Gut colonization by microbes is delayed in CS delivered babies, which may explain in part why these infants face difficulties fighting off infections. Immediately after birth, the establishment of gut bacteria can affect the development of the immune system. A baby\u2019s gut microbiota can also affect its disposition in the first weeks and months of life. Infants with colic pains have more bacteria that are known to produce gas, whereas anti-inflammatory bacteria that live in the vaginal canal are more common in colic-free infants. More and more scientific evidence demonstrate the connections between the gut bacteria in infants and an increasing number of health problems that are more common in children born by CS, such as obesity, asthma, allergies, type 1 diabetes, food allergies, eczema, and celiac disease.<\/p>\n<p>Trials to transfer the vaginal flora microbiota to the newborn mouth by vaginal swabs immediately after CS in order to imitate the vaginal delivery fail to prove equal benefits. Microbiological investigations of infant faeces born by CS demonstrated poor microbiota infestation and lower immunity indices once compared to newborns delivered vaginally.<\/p>\n<p>The health benefits gained by mothers and babies after trial of vaginal delivery are enormous. Even in cases that trial of vaginal delivery will end by CS due to labour difficulties the transmission of microbiota and infant gut colonization by microbes is evident.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='av_promobox av-av_promobox-67c1b8e9697bc6253e4fca0d3ed3c085 avia-button-yes  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\n<strong>Vasilios Tanos MD PhD,<\/strong><br \/>\nProfessor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, St. George&#8217;s Medical School at the University of Nicosia and Aretaeio Hospital in Nicosia<\/p>\n<\/div><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-av_button-56c0c563c33b74ca4940a3785deaea82-wrap avia-button-right '><a href='https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/en\/contact\/'  class='avia-button av-av_button-56c0c563c33b74ca4940a3785deaea82 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-large avia-position-right avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Contact\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Contact<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fourth-586d5a7772599657b90ecdbdf66a14c1\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fourth-586d5a7772599657b90ecdbdf66a14c1{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_fourth-586d5a7772599657b90ecdbdf66a14c1 av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><div  class='avia-builder-widget-area clearfix  avia-builder-el-8  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><section id=\"newsbox-2\" class=\"widget clearfix avia-widget-container newsbox\"><h3 class=\"widgettitle\">\u0386\u03c1\u03b8\u03c1\u03b1<\/h3><ul class=\"news-wrap image_size_widget\"><li class=\"news-content post-format-standard\"><div class=\"news-link\"><a class='news-thumb ' title=\"Read: The New 9 Vaccine against Cervical Cancer and Genital Warts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/en\/new-9-vaccine-cervical-cancer-genital-warts\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" src=\"https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-36x36.png\" class=\"wp-image-487 avia-img-lazy-loading-487 attachment-widget size-widget wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-705x705.png 705w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM-450x450.png 450w, https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MEDIUM.png 725w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 36px) 100vw, 36px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"news-headline\"><a class='news-title' title=\"Read: The New 9 Vaccine against Cervical Cancer and Genital Warts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.womana.com.cy\/en\/new-9-vaccine-cervical-cancer-genital-warts\/\">The New 9 Vaccine against Cervical Cancer and Genital Warts<\/a><span class=\"news-time\">April 28, 2017 -
