CS rates upto 80-90% are reported in certain areas. What are the contributing factors in developed and developing world?…
Is there any relationship between C-section delivery and obesity/Diabetes in the baby? What are the bad effects to baby born by C-section delivery? Are there any evidences?

Infants born by C-section delivery are at increased risk of inflammatory and metabolic disorders (asthma, obesity and type 1 diabetes), whereas breastfeeding is variably protective against these !! May be this interesting :

The Risks Of C-Section For baby
1. Fetal Lacerations There’s about a 1.5% chance that your baby will be cut with the surgeon’s knife during the procedure.
2. Prematurity Elective c-sections create a greater risk of your baby being born prematurely.
3. Respiratory Problems Babies who are born via c-section before 39 weeks are more likely to suffer from respiratory distress syndrome than babies born vaginally at the same gestation. The last few weeks in the uterus are vital for the development of lung surfactant.
4. Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension Persistent pulmonary hypertension is 4 times higher for babies born by elective c-section than for babies born vaginally. Babies who are born prematurely are also at increased risk of persistent pulmonary hypertension.
5. Wet Lung While babies are in the uterus, their lungs are filled with fluid. During labour, the contractions press and squeeze the baby, which helps to expel the fluid. Babies born by elective c-section are more likely to develop transient tachypnea, commonly known as ‘wet lung’, where the fluid has not been expelled naturally during labour.
6. Infant Death Following a planned or elective c-section, there is an increased risk of a baby dying. A study in 2006 found babies of mothers who had a planned c-section were almost three times more likely to die in the first month after birth than babies born vaginally.
7. Immediate Health After birth, babies are assessed at 1 and 5 minutes, and given a score on the APGAR Test. This score provides information about newborn health and wellbeing. The 1 minute APGAR assessment provides information about the baby’s physical health, and helps care providers to determine if medical treatment will be required immediately, or in the future. The 5 minute assessment measures how the baby has responded to previous resuscitation attempts, if they have been needed.
