I am speechless. Just in case anyone reads this and thinks having a C-section is painless: it's not. It's really not for the faint of heart, and it almost always happens after hours in labor anyway.

Before leaping to insulting conclusions about why women get C-sections, consider the most obvious explanation: this whole thing is just due to gestational diabetes -> higher risk of c-section AND gestational diabetes -> higher risk of obesity later in life for infant.[0]

My only knowledge here is personal experience having talked to women swearing they will only ever have C-sections.
