When it comes to the choice of delivery method, every mother has struggled with whether to choose vaginal delivery or cesarean section!

Many mothers feel that: Natural delivery recovers quickly, but caesarean section will cause less pain. Many mothers are struggling with whether to recover faster or have less pain.

On Christmas Eve two days ago, Son Ye-jin shared her postpartum status and birth experience. She also had worries about whether she had a natural birth or a caesarean section.

Son Ye-jin expressed her gratitude to everyone as she spoke out for the first time after giving birth.

has the support and care of fans, the caring and warmth of medical staff, and the full love and companionship of her husband Hyun Bin !

"2022 is a very special year for me. After giving birth to a baby, I feel more mature...

Holding the precious little life, I once again realized that each of us Everyone is someone else's child, and all children in the world are lights..."

Son Ye-jin also mentioned her own birth experience. The baby arrived slightly earlier than the expected date, which also gave her an opportunity to try natural delivery.

At first she was worried about whether she should have a caesarean section or a natural delivery. It was the doctor who patiently analyzed her and gave her thoughtful suggestions that made her decide to have a natural delivery.

Son Ye-jin is very grateful. The natural delivery was a success. She gave birth to Little Sweet Bean naturally, even though she was really exhausted physically and mentally after the natural birth!

Currently, everything is going well for Son Ye Jin. Little Sweet Bean is healthy and recovering well. She also posted photos of her baby.

Hyun Bin’s hands match the baby’s little feet, the picture is really warm!

After reading her sharing, many netizens were very moved: sister’s words are sincere and warm, and my CP is the sweetest in the world!

Some netizens lamented: It turns out that Sun Xian also struggled with whether to give birth naturally or by caesarean section!

In fact, many mothers are like Son Ye-jin, who are undecided on the choice of production method.

But whether it can be done smoothly and whether or not you need to undergo an operation, just follow the doctor’s advice and don’t need to worry too much!

Recover quickly from natural birth and suffer less pain from caesarean section? How to choose between

smooth and cross-section?

Many mothers have indeed struggled with the choice of delivery method.

On Weibo , many mothers have shared their childbirth experiences.

"I really struggled for a long time between a caesarean section and a natural delivery. It hurt so much that I regretted why I didn't have a caesarean section!"

B ultrasound evaluated the baby at 5.3 pounds. I thought that the baby would be small and I would try a natural delivery. If I couldn't bear it, I would go for a caesarean section!

When I was actually waiting for my fingers to be opened, I felt that it had been hurting for so long, so I had better hold on until it was pain-free!

When I couldn’t bear it anymore, I really regretted not having a caesarean section!

After the painless injection, I felt alive again, and finally had a smooth delivery~ I could get out of bed and walk the same day!

"I have been struggling with whether to have a natural birth or a caesarean section, but the baby made a choice for the mother!"

"The pain of giving birth to the first child is so painful that I really don't dare to have the second child. It's very confusing!"

Many mothers are really struggling with this, but in fact, the choice of delivery method is based on the mother's physical condition and the baby's condition, as well as the doctor's advice.

Zhu Dan, who had one child born normally and her second child delivered by caesarean section, once shared her experience: The right to choose the delivery method is not actually in the hands of the pregnant mother, nor in the hands of the person waiting outside the delivery room, but in the hands of the doctor!

If the physical condition permits, the doctor recommends that the pain-free injection be smooth and painless. Cooperating with the doctor can minimize the damage during childbirth.

Regarding caesarean section, it really hurts. Don’t choose caesarean section because of fear of pain. caesarean section is not easier than natural birth!

Whether it is vaginal surgery or a dissection, you should follow the doctor's advice, do not blindly undergo surgery, and do not have a dissection at will!

Fully understand the two delivery methods, and then choose the suitable one according to your physical condition. This is only responsible for yourself and your baby.

Whether it is a normal delivery or a caesarean section

The specific situation depends on the situation of the mother and the baby!

If all indicators are normal, meet the conditions for natural delivery, and there are no contraindications, it is recommended that mothers give priority to natural delivery, which will recover faster and be better for the baby.

If mothers meet the four major conditions for a normal delivery, they can choose a normal delivery with the advice of a doctor:

1. Appropriate pelvic size - the birth canal is one of the most important conditions for a normal delivery. The birth canal is the passage through which the fetus is delivered, which is also the size of the pelvis. The pelvis is the only passage for the baby to be born. Its size and shape are closely related to whether the baby can be delivered smoothly.

2, Labor force must be sufficient - labor force is the force that pushes the fetus out of the body. Natural birth is a series of violent and repeated muscle contractions. Uterine contractions help push the baby out of the uterus and into the birth canal.

3. Fetal size ( fetal position must be correct) - The size and position of the fetus directly determine whether it can be delivered normally. The size of the fetus directly determines the difficulty of natural delivery. If the fetal head is too large, even if the pelvis is of normal size, it may cause dystocia or an antegrade cesarean section.

4. Maternal determination - Many mothers will say something in their childbirth stories: it is important to have firm beliefs, and it is very important for mothers to have a natural delivery.

It should be noted that if the following conditions exist, caesarean section may be the safest choice. Do not force a natural birth and follow the doctor's advice to choose the safest method.

1. Mom’s problem

①The pelvis is abnormally small. When the fetus is delivered from the mother's body, it must pass through the pelvis. If the pelvis is too small, vaginal delivery may not be successful.

②Abnormal birth canal.For example, fibroids can prevent the baby from passing through the birth canal normally.

③I had a caesarean section before. Although it is possible for one child to have a second child through caesarean section, not all mothers have scars conditions and physical indications that meet the conditions for a smooth pregnancy.

④has severe pregnancy complications. High blood pressure (preeclampsia), diabetes, and heart problems can all make vaginal delivery dangerous.

⑤Body infection. Some body infections can be passed to your baby during vaginal birth, such as genital herpes and HIV/AIDS.

Placenta previa or premature placenta section. These situations are extremely dangerous and require immediate delivery of the baby.

2. Baby problems

①Irregular fetal position. Transverse position, breech position, or fetal feet entering the pelvis first.

② Fetal macrosomia. If the baby is too large to pass through the mother's pelvis, a caesarean section is required.

③Twins or multiple births. If two or more fetuses share a placenta, a caesarean section may also be needed to prevent the baby born later from not getting enough oxygen.

④ Umbilical cord presentation or umbilical cord prolapse. If part of the umbilical cord passes through the birth canal before the baby is born, an emergency caesarean section is also required. Once the umbilical cord is squeezed, the baby's oxygen supply will be restricted during birth, which is dangerous!

Two delivery methods

No one is easier than anyone else, and no one is better than anyone else!

People often ask: Which one is better and safer, natural delivery or caesarean section?

In fact, there is no standard answer to this question, because each method has advantages and disadvantages, and each mother’s physical condition is different, and the suitable delivery method is also different. We cannot directly say who is better and who is not!

If you are a mother with normal physical parameters, natural delivery is definitely the first choice, and it is also the safest and best choice.

As a production method that has been continued for thousands of years, natural childbirth has many advantages.

① Compared with caesarean section, postpartum recovery is faster after normal delivery. Rapid recovery usually only takes a few days to a week. Many mothers can get out of bed on the same day, and the hospital stay is shorter. The hospital stay for normal delivery is usually 24 to 48 hours. If it is a caesarean section, the hospital stay is at least 4 days.

② For the baby, normal delivery can help squeeze the fluid out of the baby's lungs. This reduces the incidence of respiratory problems in babies, and during a natural delivery, the baby gets beneficial bacteria, which helps strengthen the baby's immune system and protect the intestines.

③ Natural delivery will make the establishment of parent-child bonding and breastfeeding much smoother.

④ There is less risk of blood loss, scarring , infection and complications associated with anesthesia or pain medications.

There are many benefits of natural birth, but there are also some risks:

① Natural childbirth takes longer and puts higher physical demands on the mother.

② Normal delivery stretches the vagina, leading to a higher risk of vaginal tears and internal injuries, and sometimes requires side incisions and stitches.

③ Mothers may develop complications, such as being unable to control bowel movements and urination. Mothers of twins are at greater risk.

④ The risk of moderate to severe stress urinary incontinence (urinary continence) is higher among mothers who gave birth by vaginal delivery than those who gave birth by cesarean section (10% vs 5%).

⑤ Usually there will be groin pain, tailbone pain, and perineal pain for a few days.

And caesarean section is always an option! It is the last resort when you have no choice but to meet the conditions for a normal delivery, and it is never the first choice!

Compared with vaginal delivery, the risk of caesarean section is indeed higher.

A caesarean section is a major surgery involving artificial intervention in childbirth. Compared with a normal delivery, a caesarean section requires a large incision, which requires 10 layers of incision on the abdomen. This large wound will lead to many risks.

① Mom’s risk. Every mother who has a caesarean section needs to sign an informed consent form before surgery, which will explain the possible complications: anesthesia accident, secondary damage to the intestines and bladder, massive bleeding and even the need for uterine removal, blood transfusion, wound infection, etc. The hospitalization time after caesarean section will be longer, the recovery time will be longer, and the risk of discomfort after delivery will be greater, and these discomforts will last for several months.

②Risk for baby. Injuries during surgery, temporary shortness of breath, respiratory distress, etc. Although babies born vaginally may also have breathing problems, babies born by caesarean section are more likely to have breathing problems.

Another point is: after caesarean section, it may also affect subsequent delivery. As long as there is a wound, there will be scars, and uterine scars will affect subsequent delivery methods to a certain extent.

What I want to say to mothers is: Don’t be too afraid of childbirth. Although there are risks whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, regular prenatal check-ups and medical advancements have been able to minimize the risks. Most mothers give birth to babies healthily.

Whether it is a cross-section or normal

, you should listen to the doctor's advice according to your own situation!

There is nothing wrong with freely deciding the method of delivery, but not everyone can give birth naturally, and not everyone wants or can have a caesarean section.

If your physical condition does not allow it, don’t blindly insist on following the rules.

At the same time, we should also correct the misunderstanding about caesarean section.

① A caesarean section will not cause less pain

A natural birth will hurt during delivery, while a caesarean section will hurt after the operation.

Pressing the stomach after surgery, getting out of bed after childbirth, incision pain after anesthesia is withdrawn, every kind of pain can be so painful that you doubt your life... In addition, you will fast for six hours, it is common to feel hungry and have stomach discomfort, and there are also uterine contraction pain, etc...

②Cesarean section is not easier than side incision and tear

Mothers who give birth naturally are at risk of tearing or side incision, but tears are graded, and slight tears will basically not have a bad impact on the body, and can be prevented.

Control your weight to prevent the fetus from being too large, exercise pelvic floor muscles to increase muscle elasticity, and cooperate with the doctor to use correct force during delivery, you can reduce the risk of tearing the lateral incision, and the torn lateral incision can basically heal in about 1 week.

A caesarean section is different. The incision is 10 centimeters long and the scar is as big as a bowl. With such an incision and the private part cut 4 to 5 centimeters apart, which one will recover faster? The answer is clear.

③ Don’t want to do a forward dissection, just one step?

Not all normal births will be converted to caesarean. This situation is unpredictable. Normal delivery is an unexpected or emergency situation during normal delivery. It is a last resort to avoid serious complications.

But this is often misunderstood as: natural childbirth is really painful, I can’t stand the pain, so I’ll have a caesarean section.

It can be said that most mothers will be so painful that they want to have a caesarean section during normal delivery, but they will not really turn to caesarean section unless they encounter emergencies, such as amniotic fluid contamination, fetal distress , prolonged labor and other problems.

The unknowns during childbirth are unpredictable, and mothers who have experienced both caesarean and vaginal delivery also said: Compared with caesarean and vaginal delivery, after a vaginal delivery, it is so great! The body recovers really slowly after a caesarean section.

The last thing I want to say is: a natural birth does not mean that you can have a smooth birth just because you want it, and a caesarean section does not mean that you can have a caesarean section just because you want it! There are physical requirements for natural birth, and there are physical indications for caesarean section. We must look at it objectively and understand the anatomy of caesarean section!

From a medical point of view, if the physical condition permits, then go with it if you can. If the physical condition does not allow for normal delivery, caesarean section is the best and safest choice. Don’t force it. Today’s caesarean section is a very complete operation, so don’t worry too much.

Regarding the method of delivery, except for doctors and pregnant mothers, no one else has the right to speak, nor can they make decisions for you!
