Reply to comment by homeostasis3434 in A study on obese patients suggests the gut microbiome affects obesity levels. Microbial diversity decreased in obese subjects, and the reduction trend was correlated with the severity of obesity. by glawgii

C-sections? Many of them are due to position of the baby. A breach baby is not coming out without surgical intervention and has nothing to do with gut micro biome.

That’s good to know. Unfortunately, one of my friends had a baby with its head in the wrong position and she was given a c-section. And another had a breach baby that was given a c-section. I guess it depends upon how the baby is doing? Maybe some doctors don’t have the patience?

It's also a cycle in a way. The more doctors do c-sections for breach births then the less experience they have with doing vaginal breach births. At a certain point, you don't want a doctor with no to little experience trying to do it.

And in some places, that’s illegal to knowingly facilitate a breech birth in that way
