Women who had C-section delivery are less likely to conceive again, latest study reveals

According to the latest research, women who have had a C-Section have a lesser chance of having another baby. In contrast, women who have had vaginal deliveries are more likely to conceive. The researchers from the University of Bergen in Norway also determined that women who take at least a year to conceive are 21% more likely to deliver via C-section.

The study findings were published in October in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. The study researched 42,379 mothers who participated in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). The questionnaire asked the women about their planning for the next pregnancy.

Yeneabeba Sima of the Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Bergen revealed that they researched those who are actively trying to have a baby and examined that if they have been trying to get pregnant for more than a year then they have reduced fertility.

Further talking about C-section delivery, Sima said, "Maternal stress might be one reasonable explanation connecting challenges in conceiving and an elevated risk of labor difficulties, ultimately leading to a higher likelihood of C-section,” Sima said.
