Girlfriend Chun'er is a sentimental woman, especially after pregnancy, she often thinks wildly, her mood fluctuates easily, and she cries her nose at every turn.
Now that she is 37 weeks pregnant and about to have an antenatal check-up, she is too worried to sleep.
Chun'er originally planned to have a smooth birth, but when she heard that the pain of the birth was as painful as breaking 12 ribs at the same time, she was straight back.
Although the caesarean section can be anesthetic, after all, after the anesthesia, it will hurt for a few days, isn't it more guilty? She is really in a dilemma, caesarean section and vaginal delivery are so painful, so how should I choose?
In fact, whether it is a caesarean section or a vaginal birth, the pain of childbirth cannot be completely avoided.
Caesarean section and vaginal delivery, because the process of delivery is different, so the time and way women perceive pain are also different.
Which parts of vaginal delivery are more painful?
1. Contraction pain
The main contraction pain in vaginal labour is concentrated between 1 and 10 fingers of the opening of the uterine opening.
Some women open the uterus quickly, and the uterine opening is fully opened in 1-3 hours.
Some maternal uterine openings are relatively slow, 3-4 days of uterine opening is complete, each human body is different, so the duration of contractions and pain will vary from person to person.
2. Pain in the side incision wound
In the process of giving birth to a child, some pregnant women will have a lateral incision wound, but when suturing, there will be no anesthetic, and the mother can feel obvious pain, which is particularly uncomfortable.
Which parts of a caesarean section are more painful?
Caesarean section is because during the operation, the doctor will give the mother anesthetics, and after the effect of the drug is effective, the operation is carried out, and the mother does not feel pain at all, so the caesarean section is more favored by the mother than the normal birth.
If the mother is more tolerant of anesthesia, anesthetics do not work, when the doctor caesarean section, the mother will be in pain and shiver, and can only clench her teeth and support it, and faint in pain after childbirth.
After 6-8 hours of caesarean section, as the anesthesia slowly disappears, the maternal pain will become more and more pronounced.
Some women recover better and feel much less pain the next day.
Some women recover slowly, and after a few days of delivery, the wound is still faintly painful.
If you think that vaginal birth and caesarean section only have these pains, then you are wrong, vaginal birth and caesarean section of the mother, after surgery, have to face uterine shrinkage injections and stomach pressure, tried these two kinds of expectant mothers have said, this feels too sour, pain without image screaming, simply unforgettable.
How should women choose between caesarean sections and vaginal births?
A vaginal birth is the best option if the pregnant woman meets the following conditions:
1. The fetal position is the cephalic position, which is the LOA position
2. The cephalic pelvis is symmetrical, and the double top diameter of the fetus is less than 10 cm
3. Pregnant women have a normal pelvic morphology, and the pelvis is not narrow or deformed
4. Placenta, the amount of amniotic fluid is normal, and the placenta does not cover the cervical opening
5. The fetal weight is less than 7 kilograms, and the fetal weight is most ideal at 5-6 kilograms
If a pregnant woman has indications for caesarean section, then it is best to have a caesarean section:
1. Too little amniotic fluid.
2. Complete placental preposition.
3. Abnormal pregnancy such as severe prolapse of the umbilical cord.
4. The pelvis is asymmetrical, and the fetal head is larger than the pelvic entrance of pregnant women.
5. Pregnant women have excessive cervical orifice, pelvic deformity, and abnormal bone birth canal.
6. The fetal position is not correct, the fetal position is transverse or breech position, and the head position is abnormal.
7. Pregnant women with eclampsia, heart disease, gestational hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease and other diseases.
8. The umbilical cord is too short around the neck, less than 30 cm, the umbilical cord is too tight around the neck, and the fetus has intrauterine distress.
Whether caesarean section or vaginal delivery depends on the physical condition of the pregnant woman and the condition of the fetus, and the pregnant woman can choose the appropriate mode of delivery.
If the mother is more afraid of pain, you can choose a normal birth, and the normal birth will be painful for several hours, and the mother will not be painful after giving birth.
Postpartum pain is longer after caesarean section, and the mother's body is not easy to recover.
If the woman is not sensitive to pain and is also indicated for caesarean section, then caesarean section may be an option. If the woman is sensitive to pain, then caesarean section is not suitable.
If the mother wants to have several more children, try to choose a vaginal birth, the uterine scars of the caesarean section are more difficult to recover, and it will also affect the next pregnancy.
