What are the advantages and disadvantages of caesarean section?
For some pregnant women who can't give birth smoothly for various reasons, caesarean section is undoubtedly their only choice.
Caesarean section is to cut the abdominal wall and uterus and take out the fetus. If the case is properly selected and the operation is timely, not only can the mother's life be saved, but also the mother and daughter can maintain normal production performance and continue to reproduce. Otherwise, it will not only fail to achieve the expected results, but also cause long-term adverse effects, so it must be carefully considered before surgery. Caesarean section is an important surgical midwifery method.
Cesarean section is suitable for people.
1, pregnant women: the pelvis is obviously narrow or deformed; Special lesions or deformities appear in vagina, soft birth canal, pelvic cavity and cervix; Scar uterus; Severe pregnancy diseases; Abnormal conditions occur during natural delivery; Threatened uterine rupture; Older women.
2. Fetus: abnormal fetal position, such as transverse position and breech position; Fetal weight exceeds 4 kg, or intrauterine hypoxia, umbilical cord prolapse, etc. ; Placenta previa.
Advantages of caesarean section:
For some reason, it is absolutely impossible to give birth from the vagina. Caesarean section can save the lives of mother and baby. The parturient needs caesarean section in the following circumstances: when vaginal delivery is not possible, or when vaginal delivery is dangerous to the parturient or fetus, caesarean section is needed.
If caesarean section is planned, the operation should be performed before the onset of uterine contraction, which can avoid the pain of the parturient.
If there are other diseases in the abdominal cavity, they can also be treated together, such as ovarian tumors or subserous uterine fibroids, which can be removed at the same time.
Disadvantages of caesarean section:
Pregnant women: the amount of bleeding is much more than normal delivery; There are more postpartum complications; Postnatal recovery is slow; Long hospitalization time and high cost; Postpartum pregnancy is easy to cause uterine rupture.
Baby: insufficient lung compression, low resistance, easy to suffer from ADHD in the future, poor coordination and so on.
What is suitable for painless delivery?
At present, painless delivery can be carried out in hospitals in many large and medium-sized cities in China. Painless childbirth allows you to enjoy the advantages of natural childbirth and greatly alleviate the pain of natural childbirth.
Painless childbirth is not really completely painless. Painless delivery, the medical name is "labor analgesia", which uses various small anesthesia methods to alleviate or even disappear the pain during childbirth. Labor analgesia can make expectant mothers no longer suffer, reduce their fear of childbirth and postpartum fatigue, and let them have a rest in the longest first stage of labor. When the cervix is opened, they have enough strength to complete the delivery because of the accumulation of physical strength.
Taboo crowd: expectant mothers with vaginal delivery and anesthesia contraindications can't use this method. If there is abnormal coagulation function, then this method must not be used.
Pregnant mothers with heart disease, drug allergy and a history of waist injury should consult a doctor, who will decide whether painless delivery can be performed.

Make pregnant women feel less pain and provide sufficient physical strength for childbirth; Alleviate the fear of parturient pain; Quick and reliable action; Relieve the adverse physiological reaction caused by labor pain.

High technical content, requiring professional anesthesiologists to operate; Improper selection of drug dosage and concentration will have adverse effects on labor and mother and baby.

How to choose the second delivery method?
What factors will affect the choice of delivery mode for pregnant women who give birth for the second time or multiple times?
Pregnant women who have caesarean section for the first time will usually have caesarean section for the second pregnancy. If you have had a caesarean section, 70% of doctors will advise you to have a caesarean section at the next delivery. Because the uterus has scars, if the second-born pregnant woman barely gives birth, strong uterine contraction may bring the risk of uterine rupture.
Therefore, if you are a pregnant mother with a history of caesarean section, you should insist on regular check-ups from the early stage of pregnancy in order to find abnormal situations and deal with them in time. Of course, this does not mean that natural delivery can no longer be chosen after cesarean section. If the last operation has a low uterine incision and the fetal weight is less than 3850g, the second natural delivery is safer.
First-time parturient: Of course, you can choose two ways for the second time, but it will undoubtedly be better to choose to continue the natural delivery, because the second natural delivery will be much easier than the first time.
For the second delivery, whether the first child is delivered naturally or by caesarean section, the expectant mother should ask the obstetrician to comprehensively evaluate her condition and the size of the fetus before delivery. If the fetus is delivered smoothly, it may bring danger to the mother and baby. Cesarean section is undoubtedly a better choice. If both the mother and the fetus are healthy and there is no special need for cesarean section, we can comprehensively consider whether to choose natural delivery or cesarean section according to the mode of initial delivery.
What is the best delivery method for multiple births?
Generally speaking, the best delivery mode of multiple births depends on many factors, such as maternal constitution, fetal size, body position, placental condition and so on.
When multiple births are about to give birth, because the babies are relatively big and crowded with each other, it is easy to cause placental contraction and umbilical cord entanglement. If the situation is serious, it will even pose a threat to the life of the fetus and make the mother extremely painful.
In this case, caesarean section must be performed immediately. During caesarean section, the anesthesiologist first carries out local anesthesia. Surgeons will make a transverse or longitudinal incision in the abdomen of pregnant women, open the uterus, cut the umbilical cord, take out the fetuses one by one, and then sew up the wound.
It's easy to say, but the whole operation will take several hours, and during this period, there may be various dangers.
