Women who have c-sections are 14% more likely to have a stillbirth in future than those giving birth naturally, say researchers.<\/p>\n

And c-sections raised the chance of an ectopic pregnancy by 9%, according to a study of more than 800,000 Danish first-time mothers.<\/p>\n

Prof Louise Kenny of University College Cork described the risks as “very low”.<\/p>\n

Performing 3,000 caesareans would lead to one extra stillbirth in a subsequent pregnancy, she said.<\/p>\n

“Although these are rare outcomes, they are devastating for parents and healthcare providers,” Prof Kenny told BBC News.<\/p>\n

“Therefore, we would advise women to avoid requesting a caesarean section when there is no medical indication to do so.”<\/p>\n

Dr Patrick O’Brien of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said the findings were “reassuring”.<\/p>\n

“It’s quite reassuring that any increased risk of stillbirth in a subsequent pregnancy is very small indeed,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Any stillbirth is a stillbirth too many but the absolute risk is very small indeed.”<\/p>\n

The study, published in\u00a0PLOS Medicine<\/a>, is one of the largest so far to look at links between c-sections and stillbirth.<\/p>\n

The study analysed data from 832,996 women from Danish national registers.<\/p>\n

There are about 4,000 stillbirths every year in the UK and one in 200 pregnancies ends in stillbirth.<\/p>\n

An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes.<\/p>\n
