till 1980's normal delivery is 90%, 10% may be cesarean operation based child birth. Nowadays it is reverse. What is the reason for that?

Kalam asked a question to famous gynaecology doctor Mrs Miruthubhashini Govindarajan which bothered my mind.

His question: I was born in 15 Oct 1931, with the help of midwife at that time.

When I was a young, even till 1980's normal delivery is 90%, 10% may be cesarean operation based child birth. Nowadays I understand it is reverse. What is the reason for that?

He asked her, she immediately replied. I would like to share ith you.

Dr Miruthubhashini Govindarajan gave me following reasons:

1. No physical work, walking, no sports activity in schools - obesity and over weight leads to cesarean.

2. Life style changes - no proper food, consumption of fast and junk food which has to be avoided.

3. People are not getting up early in the morning by 5, not taking breakfast by 7.30 to 8 AM, Lunch by 12.30 to 1 pm, dinner by 7.30 to 8 pm. And go to bed by 10 pm. This is the major cause of all illness.

4. Late marriage beyond 25 to 30 years are also one of cause which leads to cesarean cases.

5. Lack of time to doctors to wait for the normal delivery and lack of mid wifery services in India.

6. No insurance for pregnancy complications and uterine fibroids and cervical cancer treatment.
Are some of the causes as per Dr Miruthubhashini Govindarajan.

"I strongly feel our girls, parents should take a note of it to have healthy future citizens. Govt. Should also consider create midwifery course, and include these gynaecology related cases for insurance."
