Facts About Normal Vs C-section Delivery, All Women Must Know by chuks34(m): 11:15am On Mar 19, 2017 |
Human birth is truly a miracle and there are two ways in which a newborn come into this world, either you can opt for normal delivery or cesarean section. Among these best method is chosen by a doctor according to baby’s and mother’s health as the ultimate goal is to safely give birth to a healthy baby. Vaginal birth Pros for mother: Going through labor and decision to have vaginal delivery is quite long process that for some women is physically grueling and really hard work. However, one of the many benefits of having a vaginal birth is that the time spent in hospital and recovery time are much shorter in comparison with a C-section. Even though the laws vary from state to state, usually the hospital stay for a woman who had vaginal delivery is between 24 and 48 hours. Still, in case if the woman is feeling well, she have the option to elect to leave the hospital sooner than the allowable time period permitted in her state, says Bryant for Live Science. Women who decide for vaginal birth avoid major and complicated surgery and its associated risks, including severe bleeding, scarring, infections, reactions to anesthesia and some other longer-lasting pain. Due to the fact that the mother will be less woozy from surgery, she is able to hold her baby and begin breastfeeding sooner after she delivers. Pros for baby: One advantage for the baby of a vaginal delivery is that a mother will have more early contact with her baby than a woman who has undergone surgery, and she can initiate breastfeeding sooner, Bryant said. During a vaginal delivery, muscles involved in the process are more likely to squeeze out fluid found in a newborn’s lungs, Bryant said, which is a benefit because it makes babies less likely to suffer breathing problems at birth. Babies born vaginally also receive an early dose of good bacteria as they travel through their mother’s birth canal, which may boost their immune systems and protect their intestinal tracts. Cons for mother: During vaginal delivery, there is a risk the skin and tissues that are located around the vagina to stretch and tear while the fetus moves through the birth canal. Woman may need stitches if that stretching and tearing is severe, or that even may cause weakness or injury to pelvic muscles that control her urine and bowel function. There are studies that have found that those women who have vaginal delivery have high chances to have problems with bowel or urinary incontinence, apart from women who have had C-sections. Moreover, they also are more prone to leak urine when they cough, sneeze or laugh. Some women after a vaginal delivery experience lingering pain in the perineum, which is area between her vagina and anus. Cons for baby: If a woman has had a long labor or if the baby is large and delivered vaginally, the baby may get injured during the birth process itself, such as having a bruised scalp or a fractured collarbone, according to the Stanford School of Medicine. C-section Pros for mother: There are not a lot of advantages to having a C-section if a woman is eligible to have a vaginal delivery, Bryant said. However, if a pregnant woman knows that she will need a C-section, a surgical birth can be scheduled in advance, making it more convenient and predictable than a vaginal birth and going through a long labor. Cons for mother: Women who has had a C-section usually stay in the hospital longer, on average two to four days, in comparison with woman who has a vaginal delivery. The C-section increases the risk for woman to have more physical complaints following delivery, including pain at the site of the incision and longer-lasting soreness. The C-section actually is surgery, and patients who are undergoing surgery are at increased risk of blood loss and a greater risk of infection. Moreover, there is possibility the bowel or bladder to be injured during the operation or a blood clot may form.
