During antenatal check-ups, mothers often ask their doctors the question: is vaginal birth or caesarean section better? How fast is normal delivery? In fact, vaginal delivery is always the first choice of obstetricians, if the patient does not have any risk factors.
The health benefits if the mother chooses a normal delivery method include:
Faster postpartum recovery time, so the mother will quickly have better health to take care of the baby better; Blood loss during normal delivery will be less than in caesarean section; Lactation with a natural mother will usually be faster than a cesarean mother, so the baby will have a better amount of milk to develop; Postpartum discharge will be better secreted, so the mother will have less endometritis; The cost of a vaginal delivery will be cheaper than a cesarean; In particular, the birth mother will usually not have to be anesthetized or anesthetized, so she will avoid complications caused by anesthetics and anesthetics; When choosing a natural birth, a mother will feel the changes in her body when welcoming the birth of her baby, feel the happiness of her birth. For the baby, when choosing a natural birth will bring benefits such as:
The pressure of contractions of the uterus when the mother gives birth vaginally will crack the amniotic fluid, mucus in the baby's mouth, lungs, and nose will be secreted. In addition, helping the baby not have symptoms of respiratory failure, helping the baby's lungs work better; Babies will usually be breastfed earlier and more fully, breast milk is also not affected by anesthetics and anesthetics; Thanks to a normal birth, the baby will be closer to the mother earlier, helping the baby's physical and emotional development; When exposed to the microflora in the mother's vagina during normal delivery, it will help the baby's intestinal microflora better. In summary, if the mother's health is stable and the fetus is normal, there are no concerns, then vaginal delivery is the method of choice to bring many benefits to the baby and mother. However, in some cases, to ensure the safety of mother and baby, cesarean section is still really necessary. Determining whether a vaginal birth or a caesarean section is better requires a thorough antenatal examination, risk assessment, and an obstetrician-gynecologist will recommend a method of delivery suitable for each case.
