Having problems with message search?
I just opened this same article from someone on BuffaloBirth right before I opened yours, and I thought of you. I'm really interested to know what the follow-up is going to be, and to get my hands on the actual research.
But, I'm not sure if this will be any kind of deterrent for those who choose to schedule without any medical basis. We already know of the increased risks of respiratory complications for babies and other prematurity issues, as well as the short and long-term complications to moms who have had multiple surgeries, but the cesarean rate continues to rise as the VBAC rate drops.
I don't know... could it be that I'm just grumpy today?

Rachel,
Checkout this article. It was posted on the PODS website (parents of diabetics support group in Buffalo). I always questioned whether there was a link, but basically wrote it off. Keep in mind that the type 1 diabetic population has increased significantly and is still on the rise, at rates too high to be accounted for by any kind of evolutionary cycles. They are pretty sure something environmental is at work, but that leaves a HUGE list of things to explore. With the c/s rates so high, it might make sense. It would be interesting to examine the type 1 rates and increases in various countries over time, and compare them to the c/s rates.
Let me know what you think, or post it on the ICAN messages.
