Caesarean section

Various studies over the years have analyzed the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the effects and possible consequences that may occur depending on the type of childbirth that is had, both in the mother and baby, as well as in the short and long term.

For most couples, knowing that they are going to parent quadruplets naturally comes as a shock in itself. But if the news is also accompanied by a serious illness in the mother, it is logical not to know how to deal with it.

Mirren Cook was born on May 10, 2020, by emergency caesarean section at Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary Hospital, weighing approximately 463 grams and smaller than the hand of her father, Kevin. Her mother, Katie, had developed pre-eclampsia and the girl was only at 25 weeks gestation.

We know that the way a baby is born can influence many things such as its intestinal microbiota and respiratory health, as well as the probability of suffering from allergies or suffering from immune and metabolic disorders.
