with cesarean section compared
with vaginal birth.14, 29 Complications during and after the surgery include surgical injury to the bladder, uterus and blood vessels (2 per 100), 30 hemorrhage (1 to 6 women per 100 require a blood transfusion), 30 anesthesia accidents, blood clots in the legs (6 to 20 per 1000), 30 pulmonary embolism (1 to 2 per 1000), 30 paralyzed bowel (10 to 20 per 100 mild cases, 1 in 100 severe), 30 and infection (up to 50 times morecommon).1 One in ten women report difficulties
with normal activities two months after the
birth, 23 and one in four report pain at the incision site as a major problem.9 One in fourteen still report incisional pain six months or more after delivery.9 Twice as many women require rehospitalization as women having normal

with vaginal birth find that babies are 50 % more likely to have low Apgar scores, 5 times more likely to require assistance
with breathing, and 5 times more likely to be admitted to intermediate or intensive care.4 Babies born after elective cesarean section are more than four times as likely to develop persistent pulmonary hypertension compared
