18. My sort of step daughter was cesarian and has had many lung problems

Of course there is the problem of knowing a problem is present and then linking it to every cause known to be associated with it.

We'd love to have an explanation of why the SO's daughter is so vulnerable to respiratory problems.

So we are vulnerable to grasping at things...but I think lung development is really a critical feature of later fetal development that is in large part avoided by full-term births.
