Babies born by Caesarean section are twice as likely to be obese by age 3 as infants delivered vaginally,Canada Pharmacy Associates Kids Obesity with Caesarean Delivery Articles a new study suggests. In the United States today, about one in three babies is born via C-section, and one in three kids is overweight or obese. Their obesity may continue till they mature, and to buy Lorcaserin is one of the best options. 

"Women who may be considering a C-section in the absence of a medical indication should be counseled that their children may have a higher risk of obesity," said study author Dr. Susanna Huh, director of the growth and nutrition program at Children's Hospital in Boston. 

"We speculate that the different modes of delivery may influence the bacteria in the gut at birth, and it is possible that gut bacteria may influence obesity by affecting the calories and nutrients absorbed from diet," Huh said. "The bacteria also may stimulate cells in a way that boosts insulin resistance, inflammation and fat," the authors noted. 

"Further research is needed to confirm our findings, as well as to explore the underlying mechanism for this association," Huh said. For the meantime, Canada prescription drugs will play the part to treat whatever complications the mother and child will encounter. 

"There are many valid medical reasons for C-section delivery," said Dr. Amos Grunebaum, an associate attending obstetrician and gynecologist at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. "These include babies in breach position (buttocks and feet first), babies in distress and labors that don't progress." 

"When you have an indication for a C-section, the risk of not doing it is so high," Grunebaum said. "Having a baby with a potential future risk of obesity is not a good enough reason to not do one." 

Dr. Mitchell Maiman, chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at Staten Island University Hospital in New York City, is quick to point out the dangers associated with C-section delivery when it is done without a clear medical indication. 

"The risks to the mother are enormous, if not with the first, then with the repeat surgeries," he said. "The risk of catastrophic complications from repeat surgery is really, really serious." 

Maiman said, "the rising C-section rates in the United States are not justifiable. Many women who have had a C-section can safely deliver vaginally in the future," he noted. "This is known as vaginal birth after Caesarean." 

"Babies delivered via C-section have more pulmonary problems [and] are more likely to wind up in the intensive-care unit, and now there is the possibility that obesity rates will be twice as high," he said. Canada pharmacy is alarmed by such scenario and is willing to help in any way possible. 

A Caesarean section, is a surgical procedure in which one or more incisions are made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies, or, rarely, to remove a dead fetus. A late-term abortion using Caesarean section procedures is termed a hysterotomy abortion (not to be confused with hysterectomy) and is very rarely performed. The first modern Caesarean section was performed by German gynecologist Ferdinand Adolf Kehrer in 1881.
