wasn't there something about children born from a C-section having a notably lower amount of gut biome, which kinda proofs that a significant amount of gut biome gets transported through the vaginal channel, or am i misremembering things?
Natural birther to a c-sectionist: "You merely adopted the scat. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already covered in it, by then it was nothing to me but stinking."
something like that, yes
I think I have been subconsciously trying to improve my gut biome as an adult....
I just heard the exact same thing in a Kurgesgagt video, not sure if its true though. They said c section babies have higher rates of infection and asthma too. I found a Smithsonian article about it if you are interested:
