Many women are for opting C-section
since they are worried about the normal delivery pains that accompany a vaginal
birth. However, there are many benefits
of natural birth for the mother and the baby. We often forget or due to a lack
of understanding that a woman’s body is designed to handle normal delivery and
choosing it can be a wonderful experience.
But, more than one-third of babies
today are born via cesarean. While there are certainly some cases that would
need cesarean for the safety of the mother or the child such as prolonged
labor, abnormal fetal heart rate, and issues with placenta.

If you have no problems and your
baby is in a head-down position and you are at 37 weeks pregnant then you can
go for normal delivery. Women who are expecting twins and women who earlier had
c-section should try to deliver vaginally if the conditions are all right and
their obstetrician says it is fine.
Benefits of vaginal birth-
Faster
recovery time and short hospital stay-
When you choose normal delivery you
recover faster than those who have undergone C-section. You are expected to stay in the hospital for
2 to 3 days. You should avoid any strenuous activity for 6 weeks after normal
delivery to allow your body to heal; you can perform all your daily activities
within 2 to 3 days.
Baby
will receive beneficial bacteria-
In a vaginal birth, the baby passes
through the birth canal, it ingests bacteria that contributes to its gut health
and boosts its immune system. Babies get microbiome- a protective bacterium
that is passed by the mothers in this process. It protects babies from illness.
No
medicines are given during normal delivery-
No medicines are used to induce the
pain or reduce the pain and you will be conscious and aware of the proceedings.
Since there are no cuts that need to be healed there is very little pain in
normal delivery. No anesthesia is given therefore there are no associated risks
involved such as low blood pressure, headache, nerve damage.
No
infections –
Almost there are no chances of
getting any kind of infection to the mother in vaginal birth. But in C-section
delivery can lead to infection of the wound, uterus lining or urinary tract,
cases of adhesion is higher in C-section where the internal organs stick
together.
Lower
risk of respiratory issues-
Baby’s lungs are filled with fluid
when the baby is in the womb. Hormonal
changes that occur during labor will clear the fluid and much of the rest is
squeezed out as the baby passes through the birth canal. If there is any
remaining fluid it is coughed out after the birth or it is absorbed by the
baby’s body.
If the fluid remains in the baby’s
lungs or it are taking a long time to be cleared then breathing problems can
occur and oxygen might be required. This condition is known as transient tachypnea (TTN). Baby who is born via C-section have a higher
risk of TTN.
