Last week I read a recent article connecting cesareans to a risk for strokes.
From the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology 2008; 198: 391.e1-391.e7 (29 April 2008) via MedWire News Cesarean section (CS) delivery is an independent risk factor for stroke, a study of almost a million births has revealed. The researchers found that women who had cesareans had significantly higher stroke rates at 3 months postpartum, 6 months postpartum, and 12 months postpartum.

'Based on the results of this study, a reduction in the CS delivery rate should prove to be beneficial for stroke prevention,' they conclude."
