For mothers 35 and older, the odds of a serious short-term problem – such as major bleeding or a blood clot in the lung – are nearly three times higher if they undergo a c-section than if they give birth vaginally
“Women have to know this," said Catherine Deneux-Tharaux, a senior researcher at INSERM, the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, and one of the authors of the new study. “It’s not to say that you have to avoid cesarean sections, because in many situations it can save the life of the baby or the mother … but it’s not as safe as vaginal delivery.
There is a constellation of reasons for the increase, according to Julia Kfouri, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto who was not involved in the new study. Patients who request a c-section for no medical reason often express a “fear of vaginal delivery,” Dr. Kfouri said. “I think they’re worried about the experience. They perceive a cesarean section to be much more straightforward, much more dignified, in a way.
