There are immune system benefits to vaginal delivery which is primarily about the the transfer microbiota from the mother to the child.
I am not disagreeing with anything you are saying, but often these are often conflated.

- thelastparadise 2y agoWhat is the primary source of the bacteria? Is it somehow the vagina/labia itself? It seems C-section would have about as much overall fluid exchange, if not more.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoI believe some of it is from the rectum, which you wouldn’t get from a c-section.
- chongli 2y agoNo, it's the vagina itself which is heavily colonized with bacteria (lactofermenting bacteria and friends). With a C-section you're removing the baby directly from the amniotic sac into the world.
