The difference between vaginal delivery and caesarean section

There are two ways of delivery for pregnant women: natural birth and cesarean section. Since different women consider different situations, they choose different ways of delivery. Both methods have some advantages. Women are advised to make a choice based on their own situation and not to force themselves to choose one method. Otherwise, it will not only cause harm to their own bodies, but also affect the health of the baby. In fact, there is a big difference between natural birth and cesarean section. Let us take a look at the difference between natural birth and cesarean section.

First, the advantages of natural childbirth.

(1) The rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the uterus during labor causes the fetal chest cavity to also contract and relax rhythmically, thereby exercising the fetal lungs and creating favorable conditions for the baby's automatic breathing after birth;

(2) The fetus passes through the mother's birth canal, and the amniotic fluid and mucus absorbed in the uterus can be squeezed out under the squeezing effect, thus reducing neonatal complications;

(3) During vaginal delivery, the fetal head is squeezed by the pelvic floor and becomes congested, providing more benign stimulation to the respiratory center in the brain, making it easier for the newborn to breathe and cry loudly;

(4) Vaginal delivery can expand the birth canal greatly, which is beneficial for the discharge of lochia after delivery and the recovery of the uterus after delivery is faster;

(5) Data analysis shows that children born naturally are smarter.

Second, the advantages of cesarean section:

(1) It can avoid unexpected situations in the natural production process;

(2) Surgery can relieve the pain of labor contractions;

(3) When the fetus or mother has an abnormality and cannot be delivered vaginally, surgery can save the lives of the mother and the baby;

(4) If there are other diseases in the abdominal cavity, they can be removed through surgery;

(5) The vagina is less susceptible to damage.

The above is a detailed introduction to the difference between natural childbirth and caesarean section. So for pregnant women with good health, I recommend natural childbirth as much as possible. As far as I know, the vagina squeezes the fetus, which is beneficial to the establishment of the child's respiratory function and stimulates the mother's milk secretion. The recovery of uterine function is better and faster than that of caesarean section!
