most significantly, and that shows in the episiotomy, the expansion of the birth canal through an incision between the Vagina and Anus. In the 1980s, the intervention in hospitals was a Routine almost. In 2012, he was for a quarter of the natural births, 2017 to only one-sixth, which represents a decline of almost 8 percentage points. According to new Figures from the Federal office for statistics BFS.

the results confirmed what experts have emphasized for decades: the dam-sections are unnecessary in most cases. Although considerably less dam-sections were made, did not experience severe complications namely. Although it came to cracks in 2017, with just over half of all natural births the Dam, but in 95 percent of the cases were of low severity.

caesarean section is not always indicated

mothers are getting older

the age of the mothers has been increasing since 1970. The proportion of women who are 35 years old or later, the mother, has eight since then, from 11 to about 32 percent, almost tripled. Negligible, the share of Teenagers is pregnancy: in 1970 they accounted for 3.6 percent, 2017 is only 0.4.

Although the increased age of the primipara, medical risks, and is the maternal mortality rate in Switzerland consistently low: Between 2007 and 2016 have been annually counted in an average of five deaths per 100'000 successful deliveries.
