Abstract
In the age of hospital births, it is commonplace to contrast the vaginal route and the abdominal route as the basic classification. From the “point of view” of the foetus/neonate, we provide reasons to contrast “birth without labour” (that is birth by pre-labour caesarean section) and all the other vaginal and abdominal modes of birth. From a great diversity of theoretical reasons, one can anticipate that babies born by pre-labour caesarean sections are different from the others. We also provide reasons to popularize the concepts of “in labour non-emergency caesarean sections” and “planned in-labour caesarean sections”.
