I call NORMAL BIRTH any type of birth in which the mother and the baby meet each other smoothly and happily, the family and the birth team smile, desserts are eaten, and our photos of joy are shared with pride. Whether born vaginally or abdominally. Is vaginal birth normal or cesarean birth abnormal?
I feel bad for the vaginal births I had during my 2 pregnancies. Both were abnormal. In one case, I insisted on a vaginal birth and the baby turned out to be very unwell and remained in the incubator. In the other case, my patient insisted that my vagina was torn to pieces. I repaired the cervix, vagina and vulva for hours while I was asleep. My patient could not walk for 1 month. He finally had surgery. Not every pregnant woman has a normal birth just because the baby comes out of the vulva. It is necessary to take good care of the result.
There are very few women who can give birth vaginally without the intervention of a physician or midwife.
Our living conditions have changed a lot in the last 10 years. We don't get sunlight, we don't walk, we don't work in the field or garden, our legs get tired even in the squat toilet, and we have even forgotten the knee-elbow position. We may be surrounded by women who constantly impose fear, negative emotions and information on us.
GETTING PREGNANCY, BIRTH, POSTPARTUM EDUCATION
It is a wonderful prenatal experience for women who want to have a vaginal birth. It is very beneficial for them to have a good mood and to be conscious about their desires, exercises and nutrition.
With my 25 years of experience as a gynecologist and 1.5 years as a child specialist, I can't give up on either the mother or the baby. I attach great importance to the fact that mothers and fathers undergo pregnancy and birth education, whether it is a vaginal birth or a cesarean birth.
Is there someone who will act as a doula? Will she have a husband or bring a private doula? Will it be his mother or sister? It would be more appropriate for the person who will be calm during birth and receive training on back massage, bathing the pregnant woman, and breathing exercises to participate in these information services for the pregnant woman.
VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean Section)
If our older pregnant women are considering VBAC, of course, it is necessary to inform them about it and to evaluate whether they are suitable for vaginal birth beforehand and to be determined.
TYPE OF BIRTH DEPENDS ON THE WOMAN COULD IT BE RCHI?
Yes, I think it could be.
“I don't have the courage, strength or determination to give birth!” I may have patients who say:
How can women who have experienced vacuum insertion, deep tears, anal repair, intestinal-vaginal fistula, and whose poop comes from the vagina, dare to have a vaginal birth again?
After vaginal birth, gynecologists are everywhere in maternity hospitals. How many anus, anus and large intestine tears are repaired per day or month?
I never force pregnant women who are afraid of childbirth to have a vaginal birth without making them ready by giving them private consultancy if they wish. “I definitely want a cesarean section!” I understand the preference of our expectant mothers and take them to Caesarean section.
The method of birth depends on the birth team. Who will touch your baby first? Who will cut the umbilical cord?
Will you take the placenta and bury it?
More research has been done on energy and frequencies during this epidemic period. The first 40 days of postpartum are one of the most important periods. Who will meet the mother and baby's need for protection, love and care? Who will touch the mother and the baby?
