Mothers are more risk to having a c-section, they represent 22 percent of the deliveries. One doctor that raised concern of higher unnecessary medical costs, is Dr. M. Wagner, New Zealand. His various reports, on the internet, indicate that the mother is said to be failing to progress within 12 hours of the deadline, she will be convinced she needs a c-section. In the 1950's 36 hours labour was normal, and 24 hours during the 1960's. Drugs are used to quicken the contractions, to have a woman comply to birth within 12 hours.
Immediate cord clamping of the pulsating cord adds to the risk of a compromised child.
C-section children have a higher statistics of being assaulted children. They run a higher risk of mental retardation of subtle degrees but have normal appearances. Parents should be requesting full copies of a C-section babies birth report, by all in attendance of the delivery, including the 3 Apgar Scores. The practice may accommodate cord blood banks operating in Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver. Doctors going with this third stage labour management of the cord have no regard that immediate cord clamping can deprive the infant up to 80 percent of the total blood volume that should have been inside the infants body.
