why are so many Somali women getting C sections?

[bluebird]

is it because of circumcision or...? It seems like every other Somali women who’ve gives birth gets a cesarean

 

[VantaBlack]

Covert population control.

My guess is that the western diet probably don't sit right with them, I know someone who had to get it done becuz the pregnancy started to severely effect her blood pressure just before the due date - just a guess

They are too weak, physically. I think Somalis regardless of gender have many health issues. Partly due to bad lifestyle, not enough sleep and recovery, bad nutrition. Somali women when they are pregnant they go through a period called walac, wherein they're nearly possessed and are oversensitive and have constant morning sickness. Compare that to Cadaan women who work through pregnancy until 3 weeks before labour...

Maybe they are naive? my sister’s best friend is an OBGYN, she says most of her Somali patients are older and uneducated Halimos, they don’t understand that the doctors will push for c section because the hospital gets to bill the insurance 3x the rate of natural birth.

If you’re fat you should get pregnant until u lose all the weight.

Yeah I think this could be it

@Abdalla ive said the same thing, somalis suffer from malmalaato disease, with their mujuq presence

@VantaBlack they’re still giving birth a lot even with the c sections lol

That’s another problem they all get “preeclampsia”

Nah, for a western educated person you suffer from the same paranoid as the illiterate geeljires. Most of the cases C-section is warranted

I see the type you are, you must also believe black men in America are getting killed because they broke the law

It's very sad that your analysis begins and stops at racism.

I'm sure they are at the receiving end of injustices in the healthcare, but it doesn't explain the significant differences in C-section.

I don’t know how your Dutch masters are like but trust me when I say hospitals here are scums, even the state owned hospitals can’t be trusted let a lone the private ones that are competing with other hospitals.

Dutch masters? Can't have a normal debate without getting personal eh. See you on the rebound as @Cognitivedissonance says

Easy way out. Just like going to the drive thru in mc donalds rather than get out of your car and walk in to order from the cashier

No huuno the wabeeneeya women in my family would not allow me to have a C section. I was lucky I was given pain killers epidurals

Yes but it doesn’t explain why there are tons of younger Somali women getting c sections. It’s so common amongst this population and I’m not sure why.

 

[IftiinOfLife]

Doctors push it on them, A C Section gives a bigger pay out to the hospital when they bill insurance/the government, then a normal birth.

Plus when you have a c section, most likely you will need it again, it's a cash grab/hustle they do on ethnic minorities who don't know any better.

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

I'm not brave enough, I will get a C section. I'm scared of labor pain.
