They were asking questions about his birth weight etc. C-Sections can be the sign of something catastrophically wrong with a pregnancy and can be indicative of later problems in a child because of fetal distress. So they asked a lot of questions about the pregnancy, his birth weight, his apgar scores, that sort of thing. It's one of those things where I can KIND OF see where they're coming from but also... how relevant is it really? If he had seizures or a stroke or cerebral palsy because of fetal distress, wouldn't it have shown up by now?
Our neighborhood has a really high immigrant population and a really high rate of poverty. A LOT of pregnant people in our area get shit medical care while pregnant and have low birth weight babies and under weight kids. Food security is a HUGE issue in our area, and as I'm sure you're aware that can lead to developmental and behavioral issues in kids.
The whole thing was just, you know, I can kind of see why they were asking, but is it super relevant, was there a better way of asking, etc.
