Vaginal delivery or cesarean section.

Due to local concepts and dietary Xi, obesity, macrosomia, high blood pressure and other factors have become hidden dangers to maternal and infant health.

However, most mothers still insist on natural delivery, even if the risk of childbirth increases, they are not willing to choose cesarean section, this situation has to be worrying, we must face the problem and take corresponding measures.

It is our responsibility to protect the health of mothers and babies, and pregnant women should choose the most suitable delivery method according to their own situation under the guidance of a professional doctor.

1. Smooth delivery.

Advantages. 1. When the uterus is in labor, there is rhythmic contraction and relaxation, so that the fetal chest cavity also has rhythmic contraction, so that the fetal lungs are exercised, which can create favorable conditions for automatic breathing after birth

2. The fetus can squeeze out the amniotic fluid and mucus sucked in the uterus under the action of squeezing through the mother's birth canal, which can reduce the occurrence of neonatal wet lung and aspiration pneumonia

3. During delivery, the fetal head is congested by the pelvic floor squeezing, which provides more benign stimulation for the respiratory center of the brain, so that the born baby is easy to breathe and cry loudly

4. **Childbirth can make the delivery door expand greatly, which is conducive to the discharge of postpartum lochia, and the postpartum uterus recovers faster

5. Data analysis shows that children born naturally will be smarter.

Shortcomings. 1. Prenatal labor pain (which is also the reason why many mothers choose caesarean section because of fear);

2. Postpartum ** relaxation, uterine bladder prolapse and other sequelae;

3. Perineal injury or even infection, ** hematoma, etc.;

4. Postpartum bleeding due to poor uterine contraction, if postpartum hemorrhage cannot be controlled, emergency laparotomy is required, and severe cases need to remove the uterus, even life-threatening;

5. Amniotic fluid embolism occurs without warning;

6. Effect on the fetus: fetal dystocia or maternal energy exhaustion, when it is necessary to use forceps or vacuum suction to assist in delivery, it will cause fetal head enlargement;The fetus is too heavy, which can easily cause shoulder dystocia, resulting in neonatal clavicle fracture or brachial plexus injuryMeconium production in amniotic fluid, leading to meconium aspiration syndrome in newborns;Accidents occur in the womb, such as umbilical cord around the neck, knotting or prolapse.

2. Cesarean section.

Advantages. 1. It can avoid emergencies in the natural production process

2. The operation can relieve the labor pain of the contractions;

3. When the fetus or mother has abnormalities and cannot be successfully delivered through **, surgery can save the life of the mother and baby

4. If there are other diseases in the abdominal cavity, they can be removed by surgery

5. ** Not easy to be damaged.

Shortcomings. 1. Cesarean section is a major operation, and the accidental death of the mother is more than that of the normal ** delivery;

2. The average blood loss is more than 300 ml, which is more than the blood loss (100-300 ml) of ** delivery;

3. It may cause wound infection, intraoperative amniotic fluid obstruction, surgical accident, bladder, ureter, intestinal tube, uterine injury and resection, and postoperative intestinal paralysis, intestinal obstruction, phlebitis of the lower limbs, venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, etc

4. Intraoperative anesthesia accidents and other unpredictable accidents;

5. The mother's recovery is slow after surgery, and it is easy to have symptoms such as chronic abdominal pain caused by tissue adhesion in the pelvic and abdominal cavity

6. Leave scars on the uterus, increasing the risk of re-delivery or abortion in the future.

7. Endometriosis with abdominal wall incision after surgery;

8. Cesarean section babies lack the first touch and proprioception experience and learning Xi in life because they have not been squeezed by the birth canal at birth. The lack of this experience can easily cause children to have problems such as emotional sensitivity, lack of concentration, and lack of coordination in movements.

Babies born by caesarean section have worse physiological adaptation than babies born naturally, and have a higher incidence of ADHD, integration disorders, low immunity and even diabetes.

What is the right way to give birth?

The existing analgesic delivery, delivery ball, doula, etc., can reduce the pain level of the mother during labor to a certain extent, improve the comfort of the mother during delivery, and speed up the labor process while also being a kind of relaxation for the body.

In addition, the outpatient obstetrics and maternity school provides targeted health care guidance according to the different psychological and physiological characteristics of pregnant women in the early, middle and third trimesters of pregnancy. It is our mission to relieve the doubts of pregnant women, stabilize their emotions, prevent birth defects and neonatal diseases, and prevent mother-to-child transmission of infectious diseases during pregnancy.

In short, natural delivery is better than caesarean section for both mother and fetus, and doctors also encourage pregnant women and mothers to choose natural delivery, but if there are still no symptoms of contractions beyond the due date, or the fetus is relatively large, cesarean section should still be chosen to reduce the risk of delivery, as long as it can ensure the safety of the mother and child is the best way to give birth!
