Caesar Childbirth Risks For The Mother and newborn baby

Caesar Childbirth Risks For The Mother and newborn baby - Childbirth is painful, therefore many women who choose to undergo a Caesar section to deliver the baby. In addition, a C-section is also an option because it is easier and safer to give birth, and the mother can choose to suit his date of birth.

In America, nearly 32 percent of the entire process of childbirth is done via C-section, including for low-risk pregnancies. Therefore, the doctors expressed the need to change the perception of pregnant women about the convenience offered by C-section.

"To the mothers who do not have the condition (pregnancy) risk, Caesar it is actually less safe for mother and baby than normal delivery," said Eugene Declercq, PhD, assistant dean for doctoral education at Boston University School of Public Health.

Indeed, a C-section is safer now than decades ago. After all, medicine is growing techniques, and antibiotic medications are increasingly able to protect an infection that may be caused after delivery. In addition, you only need to undergo a local anesthetic in preparation for surgery.

Even so, compared to normal childbirth, women who give birth by Caesar section had chances 2.3 times in the hospital again within 30 days. This occurred in 19.2 of 1,000 women who underwent Caesar, than those who gave birth to normal (7.5 people). If this is your second C-section, or if the baby is born before 39 weeks of age (birth occurs in about a third of the scheduled Caesar), the possibility of the baby get into ICU so many times.

In the second condition, the baby usually will have problems breathing. They also have a higher tendency to develop asthma in childhood. It is less often experienced by infants of normal birth.

"Driven through the birth canal to squeeze the fluid out of their lungs, so that normal infants tend to be more rare respiratory problems," said Bonnie Wise, MD, an obstetrician and midwifery from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.

Meanwhile, mothers who experience repeated cesarean delivery also face a serious risk. Scarring from previous cesarean may pose higher risk of placenta previa (placenta covered the birth canal) and placenta accreta (the placenta sufficiently embedded in the uterine wall). This condition can lead to bleeding in the mother, either during labor or after delivery.

Of course, there are some circumstances in which the mother must give birth Caesar. Because, at first Caesar was done to save the lives of mothers and babies. For example, breech position of the baby, placenta previa, the baby is too large, or multiple pregnancies. The other is the absolute cause of the mother's pelvis is narrow, making it hard labor.

Mothers after delivery was also uncomfortable conditions. Apart from having to wear a catheter, abdominal bloating incredible, and the possibility of infection is also increased. That's why women who undergo cesarean section should stay longer in the hospital.
