From one birth to the next: how cesarean section affects maternal physical activity and health in later pregnancy—A prospective cohort study

The results allow to suggest that previous CS is associated with an increased risk of excessive GBMG and repeat cesarean delivery. However, it does not appear to have direct impact on PA levels during pregnancy. These findings emphasize the importance of monitoring GBMG and promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors to improve maternal and outcomes, particularly in women with a history of CS. Future research is needed to explore the long-term effects of CS on maternal health and its influence on subsequent pregnancies.
