Development of babies delivered by cesarean section

In order to prevent maternal and perinatal mortality, there has been a clear trend in the last decade to expand the indications for abdominal delivery. The frequency of cesarean section, according to different authors, ranges from 3-6.5 to 21.6%. At the same time, the immediate, short-term, and long-term results of cesarean section for a baby are insufficiently covered in the literature, and methodological approaches to nursing this group of children are not developed accordingly. Doctors often do not distinguish between abdominally and naturally delivered babies, and in some cases they consider cesarean section to be the optimal method of delivery for the fetus and the newborn. The first results of physiological studies of children born by cesarean section indicate that this operation is not indifferent to the newborn.
