Mine seem reasonably healthy now as well. Although number three got a somewhat rockier start when the doctor, relying more on his “superior knowledge” than my experience with my own body, scheduled the C-section 3 weeks early. The poor little thing spent his first few days in the NICU with too much fluid in his lungs. And come to think of it, he was the one with more doctor visits and health issues in his early years.
Same here. 3 C-sections, 3 healthy babies, breastfed, who have matured into healthy adults. In another time, the outcomes might not have been so positive and I am thankful for the doctor who chose to deliver that 1st baby surgically. I'm also a "Susan L." btw. :)
Agreed that my first one needed the C-section, due to distress affecting heart rate, etc. Not sure about the other 2, but that was the practice at the time….V-backs were not done to any extent if you had already had a Caesarean. Oh, and my nickname is “suze”! Ha!
Same here. Disturbs me, though, when I hear new data on the microbiome not transferred during c-sections. My 3 seem fairly healthy at this point.
I believe in doing the best we can and leaving the rest up to God. Miracles happen every day and we should not fear the less than perfect situations.

Could it be Susan thing? Me too.
I would say not vaccinating would more than make up for it. Or at least reduced vaccination.
