Hi all, I'm 38 wks pregnant and stressing about asthma and allergies (I have both and they run in my family). I've been told c-section increases the risk; I'm scheduled for a c-section so not sure whether to try natural to reduce the likelihood of asthma/allergies. That said, I was born vaginally (albeit forceps) and have allergies. I wasn't breastfed; I want to breastfeed but it might be contraindicated for me sometimes due to a health issue.
I imagine there are many factors involved but I'm curious to know from people with children who have allergies whether they were born by c-section and whether they were breastfed?
