Cesarean section: reviews and more

Twenty or thirty years ago, delivery by Caesarean section was something out of the ordinary. Today, more and more women are resorting to this method. Some mothers have serious problems that threaten the life of a mother or baby, others simply fear of natural births is the cause of the operation "Caesarean section." Reviews of women who have gone through both natural delivery and delivery through surgical intervention are more than tempting.

Advantages and disadvantages of cesarean delivery

Of course, a woman who gave birth in this way will manage to avoid such unpleasant consequences as ruptures and, consequently, stitches in the perineum. But these seams can cause discomfort for much longer than the suture on the abdomen. In addition, many mothers are afraid of problems in the intimate life after the birth of a child naturally and make a cesarean section. Reviews of operated women are not always positive. You can not rule out the human factor. On television, you can see a lot of terrible programs, which tell how forgotten objects in the abdominal cavity (scissors, scalpels or napkins) led to a fatal outcome after the operation "Caesarian section." These reviews, however, are sporadic, and one should not pay attention to conversations of this nature. Of course, if you have an emergency cesarean section, the feedback of others is not what you should think about first. Such surgical interventions have much more serious disadvantages:

• The child is not ready for birth, forcible extraction becomes a shock to him;
• Manual therapists also have much more claims to "kesarnyh babies", rather than to babies, born in the natural way;
• For mummy there is a risk of infection;
• Even spinal or epidural anesthesia is a serious test for the body, and it's not worth talking about general anesthesia.

Routine cesarean section. Terms of the operation

As a rule, indications for surgical intervention occur long before the expected date of delivery, and the mother has time to decide on the maternity home and most importantly with the doctor. The obstetrician, after examining the woman, will say when she should go to the hospital to have time to watch her, and also to pass all the tests necessary for the operation. Today, doctors are trying to maximally approximate the date of cesarean to the date of natural childbirth, i.e. In the antenatal department the doctor monitors the woman's condition on a daily basis (looks at the opening, the presence of internal swelling, tracks the beginning of the precursors of childbirth), and then assigns the date of birth of a new life.

Cesarean section. Postoperative period

In the postpartum department, a woman is at least a week old. Every day, the nurse performs dressing and dressing. In case of any complications, Mom will be immediately examined by a doctor. The postoperative period proceeds easily enough, and in order to reduce pain, a postoperative bandage should be used . It is postoperative, not postpartum. The difference is that the first tightly fits and fixes the entire abdomen from the groin to the ribs, the second just supports the uterus.

Remember, no matter how your child is born, the pain of ruptures and fights or surgery is very soon forgotten, and only the boundless happiness of motherhood remains!
