In recent years, it is not uncommon for women to regard childbirth as a \”disaster.\” Due to insufficient knowledge and misunderstandings about childbirth, some mothers and their families choose cesarean section for the following reasons:
1. Fear of pain
Lack of confidence in childbirth, refusal to try labor or not knowing the true meaning of vaginal delivery, only hearing or seeing superficial phenomena and individual phenomena, and thinking that forceps and suction-assisted delivery will leave sequelae to the fetus and require cesarean section.
2. Fear
The fear of normal delivery is that the fetal head will be squeezed by the birth canal, which will affect the fetal intelligence; the vagina will relax after delivery, which will affect sexual life.
3. Some mothers worry that vaginal delivery cannot be guaranteed after trial labor. Eventually, they will undergo surgery again. Rather than suffer twice, it would be better to go straight to surgery.
4. They believe that cesarean section will not affect the mother\’s body shape and that the child is smart, and mistakenly believe that cesarean section is the ideal way of delivery.
Cesarean section is not an ideal method of delivery
Once you give birth during the tenth month of pregnancy, it is a physiological phenomenon, and most women can give birth naturally through the vagina. However, cesarean section is only one of the important methods to deal with high-risk pregnancy and childbirth. The use of cesarean section does reduce maternal and perinatal mortality to some extent. It is undeniable that in recent years, with the advancement of surgery and the improvement of cesarean section technology, the operation time has been shortened, surgical injuries and infections have been significantly reduced, and the application of anesthesia and effective antibiotics has greatly improved the safety of cesarean section. However, its mortality rate and complications are still significantly higher than vaginal delivery, 2-4 times or even higher than vaginal delivery, so cesarean section is not an ideal and perfect delivery method after all.
Cesarean section exposes women to risks of surgery and anesthesia
Generally speaking, blood loss during cesarean section is an anatomy of blood loss during vaginal delivery; its surgical complications include short-term complications and long-term complications. Short-term complications: organ damage, such as intestinal damage, such as intestinal damage, bladder damage, ureteral damage, etc.; amniotic fluid embolism; intraoperative bleeding; if the postoperative wound does not heal well, there is a risk of late postpartum hemorrhage or even hysterectomy; and The incidence of cesarean section syndrome is significantly higher than that of vaginal delivery (wet lung, atelectasis, graded pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, etc.). Long-term complications are also significantly higher for women who give birth naturally, such as parametrial adhesions, intestinal adhesions, etc. that cause chronic postpartum abdominal pain; in addition, anemia, reduced labor force, ectopic pregnancy, etc.; endometriosis often occurs after cesarean section Symptoms appear in 1-5 years.
Infants born by caesarean section have many respiratory complications
Childbirth is an inevitable physiological process in human reproduction. Both mother and fetus have the potential to actively participate in and complete the birth process, and most of them end in natural birth. Cesarean section only addresses the needs of difficult labor and high-risk fetuses in severe high-risk pregnancies. The fastest and most effective way to terminate a pregnancy.
In recent years, some people have proposed the concept of cesarean section syndrome, which mainly refers to cesarean section babies accompanied by asphyxia.Breathing, wet lung, aspiration of amniotic fluid, atelectasis, hyaline membrane disease and other respiratory complications. The fetus is not a passive discharge during childbirth, but an adaptive individual. Due to the squeezing of the birth canal, 1/3-2/3 of the fetal airway fluid is squeezed out, fully preparing for the smooth entry of air into the airway after birth, reducing airway resistance, and also helping to release the airway. Lung fluid remaining after birth. Clear and absorb. This process is lacking in cesarean section. Fluid retention in the airways increases airway resistance, reduces the availability of gas in the alveoli, affects ventilation and ventilation, and can lead to suffocation and hypoxia. The incidence of wet lung in babies born by caesarean section is 8%, and the incidence of wet lung in babies born vaginally is 1%.
Babies born by caesarean section are more likely to develop sensory integration disorders in the future
Unlike vaginal delivery, cesarean section can pass through all planes of the birth canal in a limited time and continuously complete joint, descent, flexion, internal rotation, supine extension and other actions. The various movements of fetal exertion are sensory synthesis, that is to say, during vaginal delivery, the fetus is subject to uterine contractions, moderate physiological tension changes in the birth canal, and the body, chest and abdomen are rhythmically squeezed. This stimulation information Transmitted by peripheral nerves. Compassion with the central nervous system activates effective combination and feedback processing, allowing the fetus to follow the curve of the birth axis in the best posture, minimum diameter, and minimum resistance, and finally give birth.
However, cesarean section is an interventional delivery without the active participation of the fetus. It is completely passive and rapid delivery in a short period of time. Babies delivered by cesarean section have not yet adapted to these necessary stimulation tests, and some have poor self-awareness. Sensory integration disorders are prone to occur in the future.
Natural delivery without anesthesia is best for mother and baby
Most women, whether primiparous or multiparous, inevitably have varying degrees of fear about childbirth. Some medical staff only focus on the progress of labor and ignore the necessary spiritual comfort for the mother, making the mother feel insecure. In order to improve the quality of delivery and fully understand natural delivery, it is proposed to change the delivery service model and promote the use of doulas to accompany births.
Natural delivery without anesthesia is most beneficial to mother and baby, and a mentally painless delivery method is implemented to reduce unnecessary interference. During the delivery process, strengthen observation during labor and provide physical and mental support. The husband or family members can stay with you, and postpartum activities are allowed. At birth, your baby is attended by health care professionals with whom you have known each other since the beginning of your pregnancy and developed a deep relationship with you. Practice has proven that this method is not only popular among mothers, but also helps reduce complications such as surgical delivery rates and intrauterine distress.
For the safety and health of yourself and your baby, should you choose your delivery method carefully? Rather than making a blind choice with little knowledge and bringing a lot of regrets to yourself or your child, it is better to let a doctor who is familiar with your situation formulate a delivery method that is beneficial to you and your child. It is safer and more reliable. What do you think?
