35 weeks of pregnancy, the choice between natural delivery and caesarean section
As pregnancy progresses, many expectant mothers begin to think about how to give birth. Natural delivery and caesarean section are two methods of birth, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. How to choose when pregnant at 35 weeks? This topic is discussed below from four aspects.
1. Physical condition of pregnant women
The physical condition of a pregnant woman is an important consideration in choosing a delivery method. If the pregnant woman has severe high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and other diseases, or has had a previous caesarean section, a caesarean section is required. If the pregnant woman is healthy, has normal fertility, and meets the conditions for natural childbirth, natural childbirth can be considered. In addition, caesarean section is also required in some special circumstances, such as abnormal fetal position and fetal abnormalities.
2. Choice of delivery environment
The delivery environment is also an important factor influencing the choice of delivery method. A home delivery may be more suitable for a natural birth, while a hospital delivery may be better for a caesarean section. In a home delivery, pregnant women can move around as they please, use hydrotherapy, massage and other methods to relieve pain, and are cared for by close relatives and nurses. And most importantly, for pregnant women without complications, natural delivery can effectively promote the smooth development of the fetal birth canal and also have a very good impact on the child\’s brain and physical development. But in a hospital-style birth, a C-section ensures the safety of the baby while doctors and professionals are watching over you.
3. Pain level
There is a huge difference in the level of pain between a natural birth and a C-section. Natural childbirth is when the mother gives birth naturally and needs to endure labor pains, contractions and other pains. Moreover, in some cases, such as malposition, vaginal birth may be more difficult to bear. If a pregnant woman cannot bear the pain of natural childbirth, a caesarean section may be considered. A caesarean section is a surgical delivery with minimal pain using anesthesia throughout the process. But pregnant women also need to endure the recovery period after caesarean section.
4. Obtained recovery time
Recovery time for both vaginal and caesarean births is also an important factor when considering the mode of delivery. The recovery time for natural childbirth is relatively short, usually one or two weeks, and you can quickly return to your normal life. A caesarean section requires surgery and a longer recovery period, which usually takes two to three weeks or even longer to return to normal. Therefore, if an expectant mother wants to recover as quickly as possible, natural delivery may be a better option.
Summary
At 35 weeks of pregnancy, choosing the mode of delivery is a question that expectant mothers need to think about. There are many factors to consider when choosing between a natural birth or a C-section, including physical condition, delivery environment, pain level, and recovery time. Expectant mothers should make choices based on their own circumstances, and generally, if there are no problems with both mother and baby, they can consider natural delivery so that the baby can accept a new world in a true sense.
