Re: pregnant

When webrowsing today I came across something that might interest you pregnant ladies.
When in the womb the gut of a foetus contains no bacteria (neither good nor bad bacteria)

During a normal birth the emerging child swallows bacteria from the vagina and that is how the baby's gut begins populating itself.

Gut bacteria are essential for health so if you have a caesarian birth your baby is born with none and is at a disadvantage.
