When is a caesarean section necessary?

Nowadays, the development of medicine is very rapid. Many people will choose cesarean section. This way of delivery is likely to cause some dangers during normal delivery. In particular, some fetuses will have the umbilical cord passed through the neck in the woman's uterus. This fetal position is not conducive to delivery, so only cesarean section can be chosen. So in what cases is a cesarean section needed?

With the development of medicine, the current childbirth methods are not limited to natural birth. There are also caesarean sections and underwater births. However, most expectant mothers will choose natural birth, and very few mothers will choose caesarean sections. So in what cases do you need to choose a caesarean section, and what should you pay attention to?

1. In what cases should cesarean section be chosen?

Generally speaking, doctors will recommend cesarean section for expectant mothers who are not suitable for natural birth, such as in the following situations.

1. The appetizer is not good enough

This is mainly related to the body structure of the expectant mother. The mother's pelvis is too small and the fetus cannot pass through the birth canal. It will be evaluated during the prenatal check-up. Once the doctor finds that the pelvis is too small, he will recommend a caesarean section.

2. The fetus is too large

This is similar to the first situation. The fetus cannot pass through the pelvic opening, resulting in an impossible normal birth. A caesarean section is also required. Similarly, a caesarean section will also be recommended for an abnormal fetal position.

3. Prolonged labor

Generally speaking, the entire delivery time is about one to two hours. However, if the mother's cervical dilation time is longer on average than that of a multiparous woman during this process, and if labor becomes weak or stagnant, then a caesarean section is recommended for the health of the expectant mother and fetus.

4. The first child was delivered by caesarean section

If the first child is delivered by caesarean section, because there is a scar left on the uterus, in order to avoid other situations during delivery, such as rupture of the uterus due to rupture of the scar, caesarean section is also recommended.

5. Fetal abnormalities

During the delivery process, it is difficult to avoid some accidents. For example, after the amniotic fluid breaks or the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, the fetus may suffer from hypoxia and a caesarean section may be required.
