C-Section Babies More Likely to be Asthmatic

This research out of the UK says that babies born via c-section are more likely to develop asthma, as well as other illnesses, later in life. Children born naturally are exposed to certain germs that help boost their immune system early in life, and due to the sterility of operating rooms, c-section babies lack expose. While C-sections are performed mostly for medical reasons, there are some mothers who elect to have the procedure as opposed to natural childbirth. Based on this research, it's something they may want to re-consider.
