Maybe,maybe not: "health problems" is i bit too broad to be specific. If the infant is still attached to a well functioning cord & placenta, the time in the birth canal, though stressful, does not necessarily lead to health problems.If the cord or placenta were not functioning well, it should have shown up durin monitoring & lead to c secton.
