What delivery method is best? This is a topic that many expectant mothers are concerned about. In fact, the best way to give birth is naturally. Natural childbirth is a normal physiological process in human reproduction and an instinctive behavior of humans. This process is not only painful, but also has very good eugenic effects. Both mother and baby have the potential to actively participate in and complete the birth process. Starting from the fertilized egg, the fetus undergoes 40 weeks of growth and development in the mother\’s body and gradually matures. The pregnant woman\’s body structure also gradually undergoes a series of physiological changes, becoming more conducive to childbirth.
During childbirth, the regular contraction of the uterus can exercise the fetal lungs, and the expansion of the alveoli can promote the maturity of the fetal lungs. Hyaline membrane disease rarely occurs in children after birth. According to statistics, the incidence of hyaline membrane disease in babies born by caesarean section is 20 times that of babies born vaginally. Severe cases of hyaline membrane disease can cause breathing difficulties and even death in children. At the same time, regular uterine contractions and squeezing when passing through the birth canal can discharge amniotic fluid and mucus in the fetal respiratory tract, greatly reducing the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia in newborns.
During vaginal delivery, the fetus\’ head is squeezed by uterine contractions and the birth canal. The congestion in the head can increase the excitability of the brain\’s respiratory center, which is conducive to the rapid establishment of normal breathing after birth and is conducive to the eugenic process. Abdominal pain during childbirth can trigger intracranial pain in the brain of pregnant women. The release of morphine, a chemical more potent than morphine that produces an intense feeling of euphoria. In addition, the maternal pituitary gland also secretes a hormone called oxytocin, which can not only promote the progress of labor, but also promote the secretion of postpartum milk, and even play a certain positive role in promoting postpartum relationships. mother and child.
It can be seen that pregnant women must be fully mentally and psychologically prepared after pregnancy. In the absence of abnormal circumstances or medical advice, for the health and eugenics of mother and baby, vaginal delivery should be adopted as much as possible. There is evidence that normal vaginal delivery is safer for both mother and baby in the short and long term, while caesarean section consumes more health resources both in the short and long term. After all, cesarean section is a surgical operation, and some surgical complications will inevitably occur. Such as bleeding, organ damage, anesthesia accident, poor wound healing, cesarean section syndrome, wet lung, etc. The choice of contraceptive methods after cesarean section will also be limited, and even a lot of health resources will be wasted. Choosing a cesarean section must have medical indications, such as cephalopelvic disproportion, macrosomia, pelvic abnormalities, etc. Macrosomia, pelvic abnormalities, etc. should be performed under the advice of a doctor.
