A few years ago, the British Medical Journal published a study by researchers at the University of Southampton: Babies who were underweight in the first few months of life were prone to mental depression as adults, and the underweight of these babies was due to intrauterine Caused by factors such as stunted growth, premature birth, and postpartum malnutrition. This report in some respects once again confirms the research results published by American psychologist Fore many years ago: the mode of delivery may determine the child\’s future.
After long-term research, Fauch found that although the process of childbirth is extremely short compared to a child\’s life, this process will affect a person\’s future personality, temper and temperament. He believes that if the fetus is a difficult-to-deliver baby with an injury to the forceps head or long-term labor pain, it may show depression in the future and be prone to mental retardation; affected by uterine contractions, it will be easy to be irritable and irritable when it grows up; the baby will be born with the feet ahead of the buttocks. Fetuses tend to be more active in the future; babies who are hypoxic or affected by anesthesia during delivery may shrink and be unsociable, etc.
Fech\’s research has attracted the attention of the Western medical community, especially experts in obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and psychologists. After a lot of investigation and research, it not only confirmed Fisch\’s point of view, but also brought many new ideas. Discover. Before and during labor, the fetus experiences a surge in the stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine. These surges of stress hormones prevent the fetus from suffocating in the birth canal and prepare the baby for its first breath after birth.
Therefore, babies born normally have greater lung capacity and fewer respiratory diseases than babies born without caesarean section; the amblyopia rate in babies born with dystocia is as high as 15%. Considerations for amblyopia caused by dystocia: It may be related to the fetal hypoxia or asphyxiation in the womb, damage to the eye and brain tissue due to hypoxia, or damage to the fetal head and face by midwifery equipment; premature birth can cause physical weakness and neurological defects in the baby; Expired pregnancy can lead to underdevelopment of the baby\’s brain, dementia, etc. Even different delivery methods can affect the nutritional status of the baby.
Research by Japanese doctors has confirmed that the traditional supine delivery position inhibits the secretion of breast milk. Women who give birth in a sitting position secrete an average of nearly 1,000 ml of milk within 5 days after delivery, which is 1/3 more than those who give birth in a supine position. The amount of milk determines the nutritional status of the mother.
Therefore, for the sake of good health and good health, pregnant women should take good care of themselves during the perinatal period, go to the hospital for regular prenatal check-ups, do health monitoring, and try not to use midwifery equipment. As much as possible during labor, no anesthesia is required such as cesarean section.
