CBC highlighted a UBC study that found more women in B.C. are choosing to have repeat Caesarean sections.
The study also discovered that the province has the highest rate of repeat C-sections in the country.
“We don’t want to see C-section rates climb too high because it exposes mothers to all sorts of potential issues like increased rate of infection [and] placenta problems if they have repeat C-sections, which could lead to hysterectomy,” said researcher and family practice postdoctoral fellow Sarah Munro.
Munro also spoke to Global about another study on C-sections.
