C-section in first birth ups risk of stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy later

A new study has indicated that women who have a C-section in first delivery, might be at a slightly increased risk for ectopic pregnancy and stillbirth in future pregnancies.

 But, the researchers are quick to point out that the risk of the complication is very low.

The findings of the research have been based on the analysis of data from nearly 833,000 first-time mothers in Denmark. It was found that those whose baby was delivered by cesarean section had a 14 percent higher rate of stillbirth in their next pregnancy than those who had a vaginal delivery.

This means that the absolute risk increase comes out to be 0.03 percent, a significantly low value. In easier to understand terms, this implies that that for every 3,000 cesarean deliveries, there would be one extra stillbirth in future pregnancies.

Furthermore, women who had a cesarean delivery for their first baby were 9 percent more likely to have a future ectopic pregnancy than those who had a vaginal delivery, according to the researchers at University College Cork in Ireland and Aarhus University in Denmark.

The absolute increased risk for ectopic pregnancies comes out to be 0.1 percent, which means that for every 1,000 cesarean deliveries, there would be one extra ectopic pregnancy in future pregnancies.

However, having a cesarean delivery for a first baby did not increase women's risk of miscarriage in future pregnancies.
