Besides those related to medical reasons, there are many cases of cesarean section on request. However, pregnant women should remember that this method is only really necessary if the mother or fetus has some problems before and during childbirth.
1. Current rate of vaginal birth and cesarean section
In normal birth, the baby is "born" through the birth canal in a simple and healthy way, because that is the natural path provided by nature. However, things do not always happen normally and naturally. In Vietnam, in hospitals and big cities, on average, about 35-40 babies are born out of a hundred babies born by cesarean section. Some studies outside the hospital, show a very high rate of caesarean section.
2. When to have a caesarean section?
2.1. Indications before surgery
The doctor can plan a cesarean section when detecting an indication for a cesarean section before labor. The reason for a cesarean section can be one or more of the following:
The baby does not turn his head down when the due date is near. You have a heart condition that could be made worse by labor. An infected mother can infect her baby during normal delivery. Pregnant with multiple babies at once. Mother gave birth by caesarean section many times before. Mother had previous uterine surgery.
2.2. Unscheduled caesarean section
However, sometimes problems arise during labor that lead to the decision to have a cesarean section.
Indications are usually related to:
Labor is slow and difficult or is stopped altogether. Your baby has signs of fetal distress, such as too fast or slow fetal heart rate. The baby is too big, the mother cannot give birth normally. Problems related to the placenta (the placenta is an organ that nourishes the baby in the womb), can cause bleeding in pregnant women if they give birth naturally. In fact, some mothers even choose to have local anesthesia so that they can be awake waiting for the moment the baby is born, and can be with the baby right after birth.
3. Effects on mother and baby
Mother and baby usually feel fine after a cesarean section. In fact, some mothers even choose to have local anesthesia so that they can be awake waiting for the moment the baby is born, and can be with the baby right after birth. However, compared with mothers who give birth naturally, mothers who have a caesarean section often have a slower recovery process. Previously, there was no documented record of a clear difference between babies born vaginally and by caesarean section. However, recent research in Finland shows that the protective immune responses of babies born by caesarean section are not as sensitive and effective as those of babies born vaginally. Babies born by cesarean section are more susceptible to infections and allergies than babies born vaginally. During labor, when the baby "enters" through the birth canal and is exposed to bacteria in the mother's body. The beneficial bacteria are "inoculated" into the intestinal tract and thus, the immune system is soon "awakened" by exposure to the bacteria. In contrast, infants born by cesarean section due to not being exposed to the bacteria of the mother's birth canal, the beneficial intestinal bacteria bifidobacteria did not outgrow and it was not until 6 months later that the localization rate of this bacteria caught up with the infants. normal birth. That may be why babies born by caesarean section are more prone to infections and allergies than babies born vaginally.
