Almost 1 in 3 First-Time Deliveries Now Via C-Section

MONDAY, Aug. 30 (HealthDay News) -- The rate of cesarean delivery in the United States continues to rise and steps are needed to reverse the trend, a new study finds.

From 1996 to 2007 the rate of cesarean delivery climbed by more than 50 percent, and "one in three first-time mothers are now being delivered by cesarean delivery," lead researcher Dr. Jun Zhang, of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, said during a press conference Monday.

He also noted that many cesarean deliveries were done at an early stage of labor, before the women even had a chance to spontaneously deliver.

The report is published in the Aug. 30 issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

"First, cesarean section is not just having a baby; it is having a baby through major surgery. So there is a chance of bleeding, infections and longer healing and recovery," said Yasin, who was not involved in the new study. There are also the long-term effects of repeated cesareans on the uterus. "You end up having many more cases of cesarean-related hysterectomies and transfusion and maternal death," he said.

While these consequences make up only a small percent of cases, "we are noticing an almost 10-tim
