Giving birth to a baby, primarily needs to take care of health and safety of the mother and the new born. Either methods of Normal (vaginal) delivery or a C section have their sides of pros and cons but the decision is made after weighing all the factors that may influence health and safety of the mother and baby. Pregnant women can have a voice in the process of decision making, advocate for their desire and make a better choice if they are as informed as possible about their child birth options.
Each mother and each baby are different. While the anatomy and physiology are standard, how each labour and birth proceeds is fine-tuned through the active involvement of the labouring woman. women giving birth have to be supported, encouraged and comforted by family, friends and professionals. Normal delivery is a preferred choice and has a number of advantages to consider for both the mother and the baby.
There are a few disadvantages that may trouble the mother while opting for normal delivery.
One of the major benefits of having a vaginal birth is that the recovery time is as short as allowing the mother to start walking immediately after the delivery. The typical duration of hospital stay for a woman undergoing a vaginal delivery is usually between 24 and 48 hours. If the mother is comfortable to leave the hospital sooner than the normal time period, with no risk of complications, she may be permitted in concurrence with the RMP or Gynaecologist in chennai.
Surgical method of child birth is referred as Caesarean or C-section delivery. A C-section can either be planned and scheduled for the following reasons:
or unplanned due to emergency situations such as too long a labour making the mother weak and tired, absence of amniotic fluid, preterm deliveries, lack of oxygen availability to the baby or the baby’s heart rate being too low.
C-section may be chosen by the mother as an elective decision for non-medical reasons before she goes into labour. Reasons could be that the mother wants to deliver the baby at a particular time or to avoid complicated vaginal delivery as perceived by her previous experience or external influence.
Though there are very few benefits of C-section as compared to normal delivery, one must understand that it has its own advantages in case of circumstances that challenge saving life and ensuring utmost health of the mother and child.
