    Hi Jennifer-

    Thanks so much for highlighting the first part in the I Am A Midwife series. We are excited about this campaign, so thanks for helping us to spread the word!

    Tomorrow, Saturday the 11th, we will be releasing the second video in the series, “Midwives Know Birth Matters.” Would you be able to highlight this as well? We would be so grateful.

    Thanks for all that you do!

Just over nine per cent of the children in the study were born by caesarean, and on average were two ounces lighter than those delivered naturally. But by the age of six weeks, those surgically delivered were consistently heavier than their naturally-born counterparts at almost all points - even when other factors such as their mother’s weight and whether they were breastfed were taken into account. The risk of obesity was particularly marked among children born to overweight mothers, the researchers said. In total, a third of all the three-year-olds in the study were overweight, while at the age of seven and 15 there was a 17 per cent chance of a child being obese. The research, published in the International Journal of Obesity, also highlighted the risks to women of undertaking a caesarean including increased chance of bowel or bladder injuries as well as future pregnancy complications.

Is the childhood obesity epidemic linked to c-sections?
