Repeat c-section may adversely affect baby

Health News Article | Reuters.com: "NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Compared with intending to deliver vaginally, choosing to undergo a repeat c-section may raise the risk that the newborn will be admitted to an advanced care nursery, according to a brief report. The researchers say women should be alerted to the possible negative effects.

The study, in the May issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, is the first to directly compare how choosing to undergo a repeat c-section rather than giving labor a try may affect the newborn, note Dr. Nicholas Fogelson and colleagues, from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston."
