To 'C' or not to 'C'? Caesarean delivery upon maternal request: a review of facts, figures and guidelines.

abstract：:This article looks at the association of maternal blood pressure with the blood pressure of the offspring from birth to childhood. The Barker hypothesis states that maternal and "in utero" attributes during pregnancy affect a child's cardiovascular health throughout life. We present an analysis of a unique dataset tha...
