 Understand the Determinants of a Caesarean Delivery as Preparation for Your Little One

Most mothers who are pregnant can have many questions about their pregnancy.  For example, the right portion of food, the recommended amount of folic acid intake, the weight range recommended by the doctor to the exercise that should be done.  When the age of childbirth approaches, the questions change to the name of the child, the contents of the hospital bag, and discussions of various methods of delivery with the doctor.  If you and your partner have not yet determined the method of delivery to be carried out, such as a normal or cesarean section, you can listen to the following information as a provision for making decisions or choosing a delivery method.

 Choosing a normal or cesarean delivery

 Normal delivery is generally an option for pregnant women.  The reason is because this is a natural thing and can be an achievement that some mothers look forward to.  In addition, normal delivery also has advantages, such as:

 Get permission to return home sooner Shorter recovery

 The mother can immediately hug and breastfeed your little one immediately after childbirth.  This time is considered golden time because the baby's natural instinct to latch on allows the mother to use it to learn to breastfeed.

 However, what happens in the delivery room is not always the same as every expectant mother's choices or plans.  Regardless of the desire to give birth normally or not, your doctor will generally also explain about cesarean delivery before the time of delivery arrives.  Studying childbirth is also good for knowledge or to reduce fear.

 The reason behind cesarean section

 Cesarean delivery can be performed for both medical and nonmedical reasons.  Medical reasons are divided into two factors, namely planned and emergency.  For those planned, the reasons include:

 The position of the baby is upside down, the feet appear first in the birth canal Never had surgery in the uterine area Health conditions (HIV, genital herpes) The baby is detected to have birth defects An abnormal placement of the placenta

 You can also find out and check the possibility through a potential caesarean delivery test for further discussion and evaluation with your obstetrician.  This test will provide questions about Mama's condition so that the final result is truly personalized and of course verified.

 For emergency cesarean delivery, medical reasons can be:

 The labor process does not progress The baby's head or body is too large and difficult to pass through the birth canal Pinched central straps can lead to oxygen problems The baby's heartbeat changes abnormally The placenta separates from the uterine wall at inappropriate times

 Meanwhile, a number of mothers also sometimes have non-medical reasons related to this delivery procedure.  According to the study of the Caesarean Section for Non-medical Reasons at Term, several non-medical reasons are:

 Previous experience of labor Fear of normal delivery Desires choice and control over one's own labor Positive responses to this birth in their environment

 If the evaluation results suggest that you go through this operation, you don't need to be afraid.  The benefits of this procedure for labor are:

 Reducing the risk of unwanted comfort Can be planned in advance so that the time of delivery can be controlled and predicted well

 Preparation for cesarean delivery

 If the doctor recommends or you choose to do this method of delivery, there are a number of preparations that may need to be done.  According to the Mayo Clinic, several things that need to be done are:

 Discussions with anesthetists to evaluate the mother's condition from the risk of the influence of the drug Performing blood tests to find out blood type, hemoglobin levels, information related to red blood cells To prepare yourself, ask how likely it is that a caesarean section will be performed even though planning to give birth normally Ask your partner or other relatives to  help you after your delivery a few weeks before your planned delivery

 In short, the arrival of your little one through whatever type of delivery is indeed something that must be considered carefully.  However, you don't need to worry or worry about going through it.  Always ask doctors about things to worry about in the middle of pregnancy.

 Whatever method you choose, the most important thing to remember is the health and safety of the mother and baby before and after delivery so that you can make the best decisions for your family.
