Although every pregnant mother knows that a natural birth is better than a caesarean section, she still hesitates during delivery, and may ultimately choose a caesarean section due to psychological problems such as fear or misunderstanding of natural delivery.
Myth 1: It’s not easy to get back in shape after a natural birth
It is not easy to get back in shape after natural childbirth. Because natural childbirth will change the structure of the pelvis and affect the previous slim figure, it will not be possible to recover for a long time after delivery.
Experts correct: Natural childbirth not only does not harm the body shape, but also enhances the beauty of the body shape.
One of the standards for a woman\’s body beauty is to have plump buttocks. As the pelvic ligaments relax during vaginal delivery, the pelvis and hips become wider and appear fuller. New mothers should actively breastfeed, eat properly, and exercise regularly after giving birth. The body must return to the way it was before pregnancy.
Misunderstanding 2: If vaginal delivery fails, caesarean section is necessary, or is it better to choose caesarean section?
If natural labor fails, a caesarean section is still required. It\’s better to have a caesarean section from the beginning to avoid \”double the pain.\”
Experts correct: Which method of delivery you choose depends on your doctor.
The doctor will make professional arrangements for what kind of delivery the mother should use. The doctor will decide the delivery method that is suitable for you based on your own situation. Not suitable for women having a vaginal birth. Before giving birth, your doctor will tell you that you should have a caesarean section.
Pregnant women or fetuses with abnormal conditions, such as pelvic stenosis, excessive fetal size, malposition of the fetus, placenta previa, early placental separation, pregnancy toxemia, intrauterine distress, etc., should have a caesarean section. Fear of vaginal delivery.
Misunderstanding 3: Natural childbirth is too uncomfortable
A natural birth is so painful that it’s unbearable. How wonderful it is to have a C-section. Anesthesia is used, which is painless and safe for mother and child. How wonderful!
Experts correct: Although caesarean section is not as painful as vaginal birth, it also has certain risks.
During normal delivery, the mother should divert her attention, relax her mood, and reduce the pain appropriately.
Due to the analgesic effect of anesthesia, the labor pain of caesarean section is reduced, but caesarean section has certain risks to a certain extent, such as anesthesia accidents, postoperative bleeding, postpartum infection rate, etc.
Myth 4: Natural childbirth affects sex life
Natural childbirth affects your sex life because the vagina and vulva expand greatly during childbirth, causing vaginal relaxation.
Experts correct: Exercise pelvic muscles can help you improve vaginal relaxation.
After childbirth, on the premise of ensuring nutritional intake, vaginal relaxation can be improved by exercising pelvic muscles. As the mother\’s body recovers, sex hormone levels return to their original levels, and sexual function will also recover. So, don\’t worry at all.
Misunderstanding 5: Too small to be produced
She was small and worried that she would not have enough strength to give birth to the baby.
Experts correct: There is no absolute relationship between productivity and physical fitness. Uterine contractions are contractions of the autonomic nerves and are very powerful, so normal women are fertile. The most important thing is to pay attention to the technique of exerting force.
Birth is different from normal exertion. During childbirth, you need to hold the handle with both arms and sit down, and apply force where necessary. During the entire delivery process, the mother should adjust her breathing appropriately, relax and exert force correctly.
To improve work efficiency, pregnant women should start exercising during pregnancy and maintain a good mood at the same time.
Of course, if the belly fat of a pregnant woman is too thick, she will not be able to exert strength, so pregnant women must control their weight, which is also the key to a smooth delivery.
Misunderstanding 6: It is better to cut the top than to cut the bottom
Many patients who had a normal delivery said that they had to have an incision after giving birth, which was very painful, and it was better to have a caesarean section.
Experts correct: Postpartum women who do not undergo lateral incision recover faster and can be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. From the perspective of neonatal asphyxia and prolonged labor, there was no significant difference between the non-side incision group and the side incision group.
There are indications for episiotomy. For women with large fetuses, hypoxia, breech presentation or a longer second stage of labor, or other medical indications, forceps and suction devices are still needed. Side cut. It can expand the birth canal, allowing the baby to be delivered quickly, with neat gaps, and postpartum suture operation is simple and easy.
If you insist on not making side incisions, the gaps will be irregular and difficult to suture. The scars left after suture removal will also be very irregular, which will affect the appearance. In severe cases, the anal sphincter will be damaged, causing incontinence in the future. An episiotomy requires local anesthesia.
Love reminder:
lake. Do a good job of prenatal check-up and detect unfavorable factors during pregnancy in a timely manner. Prompt corrective treatment. Attention should be paid to adjusting the diet structure to avoid overnutrition causing the fetus to become too large and affecting the labor process.
2. Listen to your doctor’s advice before giving birth and choose a suitable delivery method. Do not make your own decisions during childbirth, but follow the guidance of your medical staff.
