Vaginal birth has been the natural and standard form of birth throughout world history. Although pregnancy and birth are an exciting and hopeful process for the mother, it is also a process full of anxiety and concern, in which the mother instinctively feels the need to protect her baby. The most important issue in this process is the mother and father's fears about birth due to lack of information or pollution. For this reason, it is very important to carry out pre-pregnancy and pregnancy examinations at regular intervals without neglecting them, and to inform and prepare the mother about birth.
Developments in technology, the role of women as both mother and businesswoman, advancing surgical and anesthesia techniques, cesarean section are becoming more common. has made it easy and seamless to detect. Women of the modern age prefer cesarean section and avoid vaginal birth due to the pain experienced during the birth process, loosening and sagging in the genital area that may occur after vaginal birth, etc., and cesarean section rates are increasing all over the world and especially in our country.
C-section is a surgical intervention. . Surgical and anesthesia risks are added to cesarean birth. There are increased risks such as intra-abdominal organ injuries, bleeding, clots in the lungs, cardiac arrest and anesthesia complications that may occur during the operation. Therefore, cesarean section is a method that should be performed in medical situations that threaten the health of the mother and baby or in cases where vaginal birth is not possible, that is, in cases of medical necessity. .
Natural vaginal birth is birth without intervention as much as possible. Because in a natural birth that starts spontaneously, the body and the baby work perfectly, knowing what to do. The ideal thing is to create an environment that supports this perfect functioning of the body and to support the mother and her baby physically and emotionally. In this way, the mother who is not exposed to any medication or intervention will be able to give birth to her baby under the influence of all her natural hormones, take her baby to her breast as soon as it is born, and establish a strong bond with her baby.
Mothers who have a normal vaginal birth will be able to give birth in the hospital The length of stay is shorter than for mothers who have had a cesarean section. The mother can start her daily activities as soon as possible after birth, eat whatever she wants, and take care of her baby.
Babies born via normal vaginal delivery have better breastfeeding skills and stronger immune systems.
In normal birth, there is no restriction in terms of the number of births of the mother, but in cesarean section, this number is limited. . Because during a cesarean section, the incision area in the uterus becomes thinner and there is a risk of rupture of the uterus in this area in subsequent pregnancies. In addition, today, under appropriate medical conditions, birth after cesarean section is possible.
In the light of all this information, the method of birth should not be determined arbitrarily, but in case of medical necessity, the decision for cesarean section should be made.
The most important point here is, Obstetricians and other health personnel monitor the pregnancy and prepare the mother for vaginal birth during the birth process.
