Labor pains are the most intense pain that most women experience in their lifetime. On the medical pain index, labor pain ranks second only to burning pain. Prolonged and intense labor pains cause women to lose self-control and even self-esteem in the delivery room. This not only causes great physical and mental pain to the mother, but also may endanger the life of the mother and child, and also intensifies the conflict between doctors and patients. Due to the fear of pain, cesarean delivery is the only option for women who are in hospitals that cannot provide labor analgesia technology. Of the 20 million babies born in China every year, about half are delivered by C-section, and in some cities the rate is even 60-80 percent. The high rate of cesarean deliveries has become another serious “public health problem” in our country. This shocking figure has stunned China and stunned the world! The health damage caused by cesarean delivery to mothers and their children is serious. The visible and invisible, immediate and long-term damage caused by improper birth practices can lead to a life of regret, but most of them are unaware of it, allowing the mistakes to be replicated and perpetuated until now. In China, a country with a large population, every minute a child is born, every minute someone makes a mistake, and every year hundreds of people make mistakes, using the health of women and children as a price. Therefore, upon receiving the letter from Yan Renying (a nationally renowned obstetrician) and President Zhang Youkang, Vice-Chairman Gu Xiulian immediately instructed that it is necessary to popularize the relevant scientific knowledge among women, inform them of the healthy and natural way of giving birth, and call on everyone to join hands to protect the physical and mental health of women and children. (1) Hazards of unnatural childbirth to mothers and babies The problem of cesarean section is not only a medical problem, but also a social problem, a big problem that concerns two generations. Professor Huang Shenhua, director of the Women’s Health Society of the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine, pointed out in a seminar on “Childbirth and Maternal and Child Health” held by China Women’s Daily that the increase in the rate of cesarean delivery and its consequences have attracted much attention. According to an international survey, the incidence of menstrual disorders and ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and anemia after cesarean delivery is higher than that of vaginal delivery. Is it true that children born by cesarean section are smart? In terms of IQ, there is no difference between children born vaginally and those born vaginally, but the difference is in emotional intelligence. Poor social adjustment is a very important factor in health, and children who grow up with poor social adjustment will find it difficult to find their place in a competitive society, even though there is nothing physically wrong with them. Also, children born by cesarean section develop some neurological problems, such as ADHD and sensory integration disorder, more than children born by vaginal delivery, and these children have more unbalanced development in language and manual skills. During vaginal delivery, the child’s nervous system also develops in a coordinated way, and it has to undergo stress regulation. During uterine contractions, the blood flow in the mother’s abdomen decreases, so how to survive these difficult seconds and how to ensure that the nerves of the heart and brain are not damaged in the absence of oxygen, many nerves of the fetus have to play a regulatory role, such as redistributing the blood and ensuring that the functions of the heart, brain and adrenal glands are intact and can withstand even a dozen hours. The sensation of skin, pressure, movement and temperature while the child is in the birth canal will be a good stimulus for his nervous system, which is actually the first lesson of early intellectual development of the newborn. (2) Labor analgesia can reduce the rate of surgical delivery Fear of severe labor pain is the most important reason for women to choose cesarean delivery. With the improvement of living standard, people call for the emergence of medical “humanized service”, therefore, labor analgesia can enhance the confidence of women in natural childbirth, shorten the labor process, reduce the rate of cesarean section, and support the psychological health of women. (3) Labor analgesia is more conducive to the safety of mother and child Epidural labor analgesia can reduce the release of catecholamines, β-endorphins, ACTH and cortisol in the mother by blocking the afferent and sympathetic nerve transmission of injurious stimuli, which can reduce the maternal stress response; reduce unnecessary maternal oxygen consumption and energy expenditure, and prevent the occurrence of metabolic acidosis in mother and child; avoid the reduction of blood flow to the uteroplacenta, and improve the oxygenation status of the fetus; and reduce the postpartum oxygenation status of the fetus. It also reduces the rate of postpartum hemorrhage, reduces fetal hypoxia and neonatal asphyxia, and is more beneficial to the physiological health of mothers and infants.
