The secrets of cesarean delivery you must not know

  In developed countries in Europe and the United States, the proportion of cesarean sections is about 10% to 15%, and advanced maternal age and functional defects in childbirth are the main causes of cesarean sections, while the problem of advanced maternal age does not exist in China, and secondly, white European women have a more masculine type of disc bones, which makes childbirth more difficult, while East Asian women have fewer male type disc bones. Even so, hospitals in Europe and the United States generally do not advocate caesarean sections, and women and their families generally believe that natural childbirth is the test of a happy and perfect mother who must accept the challenge, and is also an element of a woman’s pride and dignity, and is conducive to enhancing the relationship between mother and child later and winning the volume and respect of her husband. In Sweden, with its high welfare and free medical care for all, caesarean sections are rare and are limited to technical needs in special cases.  The benefits of the cesarean section, which avoids the pain of a natural birth, are undesirable in relation to the complications and sequelae it causes to the mother and baby, and the cesarean section is limited to remedial surgery for maternal and infant pathology.  First of all, the surgery increases the possibility of maternal hemorrhage and infection, and the possibility of various postpartum complications is 10 to 40 times higher than in a natural birth, with longer pain and recovery time. Caesarean section has a large traumatic surface and the mother is prone to amniotic fluid embolism, which leads to life threatening amniotic fluid entering the bloodstream, it is a major cause of maternal death in recent years and also makes it difficult to conceive again in the future, even if she gets pregnant again after 3 years, her uterus is prone to rupture. The need for fasting after surgery obviously affects breastfeeding, which is very detrimental to the immunity of the newly separated baby and makes it more likely to die if the baby has congenital defects. From a neonatal perspective, the adverse effects of a cesarean section are not insignificant. Because the child is not squeezed by the birth canal, one-third of the fetal lung fluid cannot be expelled, and some of them cannot breathe on their own after birth, which means that they suffer from the so-called “wet lung” and are prone to complications such as neonatal asphyxia and pulmonary hyaline membrane. such as intracranial hemorrhage, retinopathy or disability or even death.  In addition, there are many cases of maternal and fetal injuries caused by careless operation of some doctors. According to the statistics of one hospital, the mortality rate of caesarean section babies from 1995 to 1999 was 10%, which was more than twice the mortality rate of natural births in the same period. Once again, the cost and maintenance of a C-section is expensive, three to four times that of a natural birth.  Childbirth: do not blindly choose caesarean section The average rate of caesarean section in recent years has risen to about 60%, and individual hospitals have reached 80%, while the rate of caesarean section in previous years was only about 20%.  In fact, caesarean section is a means to solve difficult births or rescue newborns, whether to perform caesarean section should be mastered by doctors, natural childbirth is “first bitter and then sweet”, caesarean section is “first sweet and then bitter”. Women and their families often think too much about the pain of childbirth, but ignore the damage caused by cesarean section.  It is clinically proven that caesarean section has many long-term complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic adhesions, menstrual disorders, back pain, etc., and the problems of contraception and re-pregnancy are more than those of natural delivery.  Statistics show that about half of the women who choose to have a cesarean section can deliver naturally. If women follow the scientific and natural rules of childbirth, the rate of cesarean section can be reduced to 30%.  Some mothers who have had a C-section tell us that their children are beautiful and smart, but are sensitive and timid, have poor coordination, are clumsy in sports, and do not concentrate easily in class. What are the reasons for this? Is there a relationship between these phenomena and cesarean delivery?  Studies have shown that children born by cesarean section lack the experience and learning of touch and proprioception for the first time in their lives, as they are not squeezed by the birth canal at birth. This lack of experience does not affect the child’s IQ, but it tends to make the child emotionally sensitive, inattentive, clumsy, etc.    However, parents need not be anxious, as these problems can be solved through later training. In response to these problems, children born by cesarean section should pay more attention to the following three aspects of training: 1, brain balance training Many women choose to give birth by cesarean section because of the presence of fetal malposition, umbilical cord entanglement, excessive weight and other factors that are not suitable for normal delivery. These factors usually cause the fetal brain vestibular function to be underdeveloped, insufficient activity in the mother’s body, and even fetal asphyxia. After the birth of such children, their attention span is bound to be affected.  What parents should do with these children is: in the first three months of life, they should often and moderately hold the child gently rocking, so that the child’s brain balance to get the initial exercise; in the seven or eight months of age, the child must be trained to crawl, which is very helpful to exercise the child’s hand and foot coordination; when the child is older, parents should let the child walk more balance beam, or Do more swinging, carousel and other games.  2, proprioceptive training Children born by caesarean section are prone to be slow to respond to their own body senses and have relatively poor body coordination due to the lack of the most natural proprioceptive training of the birth canal squeeze; after a certain age, they are prone to procrastination, taking a long time to do homework and other problems, and some children also have speech impediments and bedwetting. These are all caused by the child’s poor proprioception.  What parents need to do is to let their children do a variety of physical activities – from a young age, they can let their children do cartwheels, and when they are older, they can let their children shoot a ball, jump rope, swim, play badminton, etc. are all good training.  3, tactile training Most children like to suck their own hands before the age of two or three, parents do not care too much, this is a normal phenomenon of young children.  However, children born by caesarean section still like to suck their own hands after two or three years old due to the lack of the first tactile opportunity in their lives, so parents should pay attention to this time. In addition to sucking their hands, they also like to bite their nails, chew on pens or play with their genitals. In terms of personality, these children are more likely to lose their temper, be timid, nervous, cry, be partial to food, and like to provoke people, etc.  Parents should give their children more tactile training, which can start with the following activities: let children play with water, sand and dirt from an early age; let children learn to swim; often let children walk barefoot; let children play croquet; wipe children’s bodies with a rough towel after bathing and dry them with a hairdryer; often brush children’s bodies with brushes; roll children up in towels Play with your child; play all games with your child that require physical contact.  If your baby is born by cesarean section, you should pay attention to whether the baby has these problems, even if there are these problems, do not be afraid, parents just pay attention to the baby to strengthen the above three aspects of training, cesarean section baby and normal birth of the baby is the same healthy and lovely.
