A question that I cannot seem to find an answer to - my son is expecting his first child, both my son and his wife were born by caesarean. I know this may be just a coincidence but is there any knowledge about caesarean's being hereditary? I ask this because my son was a footling breech and my Mum delivered my brother as footling breech.

One high forceps delivery after a very long 43 hour Labour,baby survived 4 days .I wasn’t offered a c section as my consultant was on a golfing weekend .The ward sister eventually called him and he came back.I had been in hospital for several weeks with preeclampsia
Next pregnancy went well [ number 3) arrived on her date after just 10 hours .
My las pregnancy again in hospital with pre eclampsia taken in on Tuesday and c section on Friday baby was 11 weeks and 4 days premature
I was advised no more attempts ,my son was the last of 9 pregnancies started ,only one went full term ,two came home .
I would do it all again in a heartbeat my kids are wonderful people and amazing parents to their two sets of three .
I can’t imagine life without any of them
