Potential risks of caesarean section (photo)

Risks faced Anesthesia risks: Although a very small number of people will suffer from problems such as anesthesia allergy or aspiration pneumonia due to vomiting, once it occurs, it may endanger the life of the mother.

It may cause sequelae such as adhesions on the bladder, abdominal wall, and uterine wall in the future.

Abdominal wounds vary from person to person, and some people may leave scars.

The chance of infection and bleeding is higher than with natural childbirth.

*Because the fetus has not been squeezed by the birth canal, its lung function is weaker than that of a naturally born baby.

Postoperative recovery time is longer than vaginal delivery, and hospital stay is also longer. In addition, if the cost of a caesarean section is paid out of pocket, it will also cost a lot of money.

Should I choose a caesarean section? For women with special maternal circumstances, giving birth naturally carries increased risks. Therefore, caesarean section should be performed as directed by the doctor to achieve safe delivery. At this time, the expectant mother can consult the doctor about the details of the operation, such as the anesthesia method for caesarean section, the conditions of anesthesia, and precautions before delivery.

Respect personal opinions. If you are a normal pregnant woman but are considering cesarean section, you can express your reasons and discuss them with your doctor. If you still choose a cesarean section despite the doctor\’s advice, most doctors will still respect the mother\’s wishes. For mothers in this category, it is also recommended to discuss with teachers and friends who have production experience before choosing the ideal production method.

My last baby was born by caesarean section, do you want this baby too? In addition, whether the last caesarean section requires a second caesarean section, director Huang Jianxun said, it depends on the situation. If the second child was born by caesarean section for the first time, there was no reason. For example, the fetal position was wrong at the time, but the second child was in a normal position. At the same time, if there are no other problems, you can choose to give birth naturally, but if there are other risk factors, it is best to follow the doctor\’s advice. If the mother still has questions, she can seek the advice of a second doctor if necessary.

Preparation before caesarean section If you have to choose a caesarean section or decide to have a caesarean section at your own expense, mothers can make some preparations in advance to make the caesarean section go more smoothly.

1. Arrange delivery time. If there are no special circumstances that require an early caesarean section, doctors usually recommend scheduling delivery between 37-38 weeks. If there is a specially chosen day to give birth, the mother should inform the doctor in advance and ask the doctor to evaluate whether it is suitable. The doctor will usually propose a convenient time for the operation, and the mother will choose a suitable time.

2. Avoid causing premature birth. If the scheduled date for a caesarean section has not yet arrived, or the baby has not yet reached 36 weeks, mothers should avoid being too tired or too nervous to prevent premature water rupture or premature delivery, leading to an emergency caesarean section.

3. Prepare production materials

Because they already know the approximate delivery time, mothers can prepare delivery supplies and postpartum supplies in advance, contact the hospital or doctor the day before the scheduled caesarean section for confirmation, and arrive at the hospital for delivery at the scheduled time.
