What are the advantages of natural childbirth?
Nature is laid down so that the female organism is fully able to reproduce a healthy offspring on its own, without any help. Therefore, births in a natural way should pass in all women, if there are no contraindications to them.
The main ones are:
- presence of a caesarean section in anamnesis;
- a large fruit;
- Multiple fetuses.
In addition, such a process as natural childbirth has several advantages.
So, when passing through the mother's birth canal, the child gradually adapts to the environmental conditions, and becomes more enduring, compared to his peers, who were born by cesarean section.
Also, the pluses of natural genera can be attributed to the fact that after such a process the crumb gets some immunity, which will allow him to quickly get used to new conditions for him.
Disadvantages of natural delivery
Disadvantages (disadvantages) of natural births are not so numerous, but they are present. Perhaps the greatest of them is that during such a process a woman experiences severe pain and suffering. Also, in the course of natural births, there is a high probability of various complications, the most frequent of which are perineal ruptures, which requires urgent surgical intervention.
How does the preparation for natural childbirth take place?
Natural childbirth is a complex process, requiring some preparation for it. As a rule, it is that a woman still long before the moment of delivery, the gynecologist explains how to behave, so that natural births pass without complications. In particular, they learn to breathe properly, to push. Important is the position of the body during childbirth. In some cases, a woman is allowed to take exactly that position in which she feels more comfortable. Moreover, there is a special technique in which the birth is conducted in an upright position.
Particular attention in preparing a woman for childbirth is given to her psychological attitude . It is to teach you to abstract yourself from the pain and concentrate on the process itself, thinking only of the child.
Cesarean or natural childbirth?
Caesarean section is a complex process that is fundamentally different from how natural births are. In most cases, it is planned in advance, but it can also be carried out urgently. The main indications for cesarean section are a large fetus, multiple pregnancy, as well as a severe condition of a pregnant woman, who may simply not tolerate natural delivery.
Therefore, if a woman is offered to choose a cesarean or natural delivery, then it is better, of course, to stop on the second option.
Thus, natural births have their pros and cons. However, the former are much larger. Therefore, every pregnant woman should be adjusted to the fact that she will give birth naturally.
