October pregnancy is waiting for the melon ripe, we all know that normal delivery is the best way of delivery, is natural, natural things, however, many mothers-to-be to vaginal delivery fear, afraid of pain, afraid of birth is not out of the final have to cesarean section, afraid of postpartum vaginal relaxation affect sex life. There is also a considerable part of the mother-to-be, due to their own physical condition or the baby’s condition is not suitable for vaginal delivery. Therefore, the next author is going to discuss this serious issue about the mode of delivery with you. First of all, let’s determine the group for this discussion: pregnant mothers with cephalic pregnancy, no previous history of uterine surgery and cesarean section. Breech pregnancies, transverse pregnancies, and mothers with scarred uteri are not included in this discussion. If the mother is healthy, the doctor will assess whether she can have a vaginal delivery. The assessment includes four aspects: 1) whether the birth canal is normal; 2) whether the mother’s labor force is normal; 3) whether the fetal position is normal and whether the baby’s weight is appropriate; and 4) whether the mother’s mental state is normal. After the doctor’s evaluation, the initiative will be given to the mother. Simply put, the mother has the right to follow the doctor’s instructions to decide on the mode of delivery, but the basic principle is to ensure the safety of the mother and the baby first! Natural childbirth is the best way to deliver a baby with minimal damage to the mother and the baby, but it is also a big test for both the mother and the baby. The process of normal delivery is briefly summarized as follows: when the baby matures, the pregnant mother’s body secretes oxytocin, which stimulates the uterus to undergo regular contractions, promoting the baby’s descent and the opening of the uterus, during which the baby’s head and body have to adapt to the shape of the mother’s pelvis, and ultimately deliver the baby smoothly. The benefits of normal delivery are twofold: First, the baby: the vagina squeezes the baby’s thorax, which can promote the discharge of fluids in the baby’s lungs, the heart and lungs get exercise; reduce the probability of newborn babies suffering from pneumonia, and enhance the resistance; the friction between the baby’s skin and the mother’s vagina can make the baby’s neural sensitivity increase. Second, the mother: smooth delivery promotes the discharge of bad dew and postpartum recovery, and the success rate of breastfeeding is higher. It is important to note that vaginal delivery does not mean normal delivery! Vaginal delivery also includes induction of labor and vaginal assisted delivery in the case of obstructed labor. Labor is induced when the gestational week exceeds the expected delivery date by 1 week, or when the doctor determines that continuing the pregnancy is detrimental to the health of the mother and the baby. During the second stage of labor (after the opening of the uterus to the delivery of the baby), when it is found that the baby’s head is not in the right position, the head of the baby will be turned to the right direction and position with bare hands; when the baby shows signs of hypoxia or the mother has comorbidities and wants to shorten the second stage of labor as much as possible, attraction and forceps delivery are also available. When the baby is too large (>4kg) or the mother’s pelvis is relatively small, there may also be difficulty in delivering the baby’s head and then delivering the shoulder. This leads to the preliminary conclusion that the mother’s decision to give birth “on her own” with the doctor’s authorization is in fact a trial of vaginal labor, during which the doctor and the midwife will closely monitor the mother and the baby. The doctor and midwife will closely monitor the mother and the baby. If necessary, various interventions will be carried out, such as the use of oxytocin, rotation of the position of the fetus, suction labor, forceps labor, and so on. Failure of trial of labor is converted to cesarean section. Having said that about normal labor, let’s talk about cesarean section. For the group we are discussing this time, it is the ultimate remedy for vaginal delivery, the pregnant mother does not have the conditions for vaginal delivery or vaginal trial of labor fails to take measures, divided into 3 categories: 1, the baby’s life safety is threatened and can not be delivered vaginally for a short period of time, such as prolapse of the umbilical cord, placenta previa, fetal distress. 2, the mother can not continue the pregnancy in poor health. Such as high blood pressure during pregnancy and heart disease and other conditions can not be controlled. 3.After delivery, it is found that the baby is not compatible with the mother’s pelvis, and the mother has abnormalities in the bone or soft birth canal. For example, if the baby is huge, pelvic stenosis, serious vaginal developmental abnormality, or pelvic tumor obstructing the birth canal. Cesarean section has both advantages and disadvantages; it is good in that it gets the mom or baby out of bad shape quickly and the procedure is easy and painless. Its downside is that bleeding tends to be more than with vaginal births. The surgery may cause pelvic adhesions, intestinal adhesions and even lead to chronic pain and secondary infertility. Recovery after delivery is also slower than with a normal birth, and the risk increases with another pregnancy. For the baby, there is an increased incidence of amniotic fluid aspiration pneumonia and hyperactivity in the early years. There are pros and cons to both normal delivery and cesarean section, and each pregnant mother’s situation is different. For the sake of the health of the pregnant mother and the baby, we should communicate with the doctor more often during the late stage of pregnancy, and choose the mode of delivery reasonably under the doctor’s guidance according to the overall situation. Lastly, I would like to emphasize that if you want to improve your chances of having a normal delivery, you should have a regular checkup during pregnancy, eat a healthy diet, exercise scientifically, and keep your weight under control!
