C-sections not tied to obesity later on - study

By Andrew M. Seaman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Babies born by cesarean deliveries are no more likely to be obese later in life than babies born vaginally, says a new study. Despite some past research suggesting a link, Australian researchers found 21-year-olds' weights and waist sizes weren't tied to the way they had been delivered. "This data does not support the idea that C-section is the reason we have childhood and increasing obesity rates," Dr. Loralei Thornburg said. She is a high-risk pregnancy expert at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, but wasn't involved in the study.
