Pro ZuziP specialne :o))))))),
okopirovala jsem to i s referencemi, aby to nebylo jen "vytazene z nejake knizky", tohle je spise vycet statistik. Je to cele o planovanych CS a nevyjadruje to muj osobni nazor. Anglicky nemluvicim se omlouvam, ale prekladat to nemam cas.

Risks to the baby from elective cesarean section
• Babies delivered by elective cesarean have an increased risk of neonatal respiratory
distress syndrome (RDS), a life-threatening condition,3-7 and other respiratory problems
that may require NICU care.
• Babies delivered by elective cesarean have a five-fold increase in persistent pulmonary
hypertension (PPH) over those born vaginally.6
• Babies delivered by elective cesarean are at increased risk of iatrogenic (physician-caused)
prematurity, usually related to failure to conform to protocols for determining
gestational age prior to delivery, or errors in estimating weeks of gestation even with the
use of clinical data.7,8 Prematurity can have life-long effects on health and well-being,
and even mild to moderate preterm births have serious health consequences.9
• Babies delivered by elective cesarean are cut by the surgeon’s scalpel from two to six
percent of the time.10 Researchers believe these risks to be underreported.

Risks to the mother from elective cesarean section
• Up to 30% of women who have a cesarean acquire a postpartum infection. Infections are
the most common maternal complication after cesarean section and account for
substantial postnatal morbidity and prolonged hospital stay.11
White Papers
• Other serious complications for women undergoing cesarean include massive
hemorrhage,12 transfusions,13 ureter injury,14 injury to bowels,15 and incisional
endometriosis.16,17
• Women who undergo cesarean report much lower levels of health and well-being at
seven weeks postpartum than women who have vaginal births.18
• Women who undergo cesarean section have twice the risk of rehospitalization for reasons
such as infection, gallbladder disease, surgical wound complications, cardiopulmonary
conditions, thromboembolic conditions, and appendicitis. Rehospitalization has a
negative social and financial effect on the family.19
• Women who undergo cesarean section report less satisfaction than women having vaginal
births.20,21
• Women undergoing cesarean are at increased risk of hysterectomy in both the current and
future pregnancies.22,23
• The maternal death rate is twice as high for elective cesarean as for vaginal birth.24
• In subsequent pregnancies, women with a prior cesarean have higher rates of serious
placental abnomalities which endanger the life and health of the baby and the mother.25-27
Women are rarely told that a cesarean places future babies at higher risk.
• After cesarean section, women face higher rates of secondary infertility as well as higher
rates of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.28,29
