Caesarian Section is most preferred method of delivery now a days and in India Government has brought tough regulation at every Government Hospital and Pvt Hospitals through its machinary to keep its incidence low but this new study although in mice is very alarming as Mice born by Caesarian section gained on average 33 percent more weight in the 15 weeks after weaning than mice born vaginally, with females gaining 70 percent more weight as per researchers from NYU School of Medicine and published online  in Science Advances.           

              The study revolves around the microbiome, the set of bacterial species living in the human gut. Such microbes evolved over millions of years to play roles in human immunity, digestion and metabolism. But, they have been disrupted by practices like antibiotic treatment and C-section delivery in recent decades -- just as the rate of obesity has more than doubled.Past epidemiological studies have shown links between Caesarian section and increased risk of obesity in humans, say the study authors. One theory has it that C-section interrupts transmission of maternal microbes at birth, and the "education" they provide to metabolic and immune systems early in development.

        The current study also indicated that the normal pioneer microbiota transmitted from mothers to vaginally born pups provided protection against weight gain. Bacterial groups found to dominate in pups delivered vaginally (Bacteroides, Ruminococaceae, and Clostridiales) had been previously linked to leaner body type in mice, according to the authors.

         Should early microbe changes be found to be causative for obesity in future human studies, a 2016 pilot study led by Dominguez-Bello offers a potential solution. The study found that swabbing babies born by C-section with their mother's birth fluid partially restored the mix of bacteria that coat a newborn's body when delivered naturally.So Caesarian section produce more obese persons need further studies but if established Mothers will pressurise for normal deliveries and Doctors too will like to deliver vaginally.
