Canada’s C-section rate at record high
Published: Wednesday, June 25, 2008

Canada’s pregnancy specialists are calling on doctors to curb the fast-growing use of caesarean sections to deliver babies, saying the worrisome trend is exposing mothers and infants to more risk, not less.

With one in four births now occurring by C-section – 92,799 babies a year – it is time to get “back to the basics,” says Dr. Vyta Senikas, associate executive vice-president of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada.

The scary side of C-sections is how it affects the child.  Studies have shown that babies delivered through C-section tend to have more respiratory problems like asthma, allergies and colds.  Furthermore, babies are pulled out rather than pushed out and it takes a lot of force to get the baby out of a non-forgiving incision.  If your baby (or you know a baby) that was pulled into this world, have his/her neck checked by a qualified chiropractor today – the damage done can last a lifetime!
