Too much D lowers folic acid.

This paper says sun (ultraviolet rays) exposure Lowers folate not vitamin D

> Vitamin D and folate are two unrelated nutrients with disparate sensitivities to UVR; vitamin D is synthesised and folate is degraded in the skin following UVR exposure.

So. I've had both kinds of C-sections.

Planned cesarian like with my twins can be good, but emergency ones are traumatic, especially after a 'failed' labor. This double whammy is very, very physically draining. It took me months to be able to sit up and years to regain full use of my abs (which you use for everything). Then add on the emotional regret and shame of not being able to go 'natural like women are built to do'. And shame from the attending pediatrician for pushing too long. Like I had a choice.

Yeah no obstructed labor followed by emergency C-section is worse (ETA: in my experience) than my kidney stones, worse than broken major bones IMHO.

If you wipe out the animals gut flora, the livestock animal doesn’t have to compete with microorganisms for nutrients. They get fat. Does the same thing happen with humans?

As a male I cannot judge, however I think I've met just as many women who said that they're glad they had c-sections (my partner included). Always found it interesting that the opinions are so split.
