There is a lot of controversy over the number of Caesarian sections that are taking place in the Western world. Whether they are being done for convenience or their increased numbers are medically justified, it is known that C-sections have risks for both mother and baby.
In the mother’s case, C-sections are major surgery even if they are routine. There is also the longer recovery phase for C-section mums. Now, it seems that there may be yet another risk – an increased risk of stroke.
