With the advancement of society and technology, mothers are not only limited to natural labor (normal delivery). When there is an emergency in labor, a cesarean section plays a big role. However, more women prefer to have a normal delivery than a cesarean section.
Is it true that natural birth is not good for recovery?Natural childbirth is the most traditional way of giving birth, which has been passed down for thousands of years. The Cesarean section is a method of delivery that requires artificial medical surgery. The idea that natural childbirth is not conducive to postnatal recovery is actually unscientific. The most popular method of delivery is a normal delivery, because it is not only good for the baby, but also for the mother.
The difference between a normal birth and a cesarean section
1. The birth of a fetus through the birth canal is called normal birth, while a cesarean section is a kind of delivery surgery in which the doctor cuts open the belly and uterus of the pregnant woman to take out the fetus. Therefore, relatively speaking, the harm to the pregnant woman is less.
2. After the delivery of a normal delivery, the pregnant woman is hungry or thirsty, you can drink and eat directly, while the cesarean section of the pregnant woman can not, you need to wait for the "exhaust" before you can eat and drink. Whereas a normal delivery does not have such a long wound. A woman who has a normal delivery will also have a wound, because sometimes the doctor will decide whether it is necessary to perform a lateral perineal incision, depending on the situation at the time. This allows the baby to come out faster and reduces the possibility of a tear in the birth canal.
4. After a normal delivery, a pregnant woman can decide if she wants to have a second child soon. This is something you can do as you wish. But a cesarean section is very different, if the cesarean section want to have another child, you need to wait a year or two. Because the C-section wound is very long and deep, outside the belly seems to have recovered, but the uterus is not so fast healing, want to conceive again, but also need to be in the C-section a year or two later.
Compared to a cesarean section, a natural birth is more conducive to postpartum recovery. Because of the small incision, the recovery is fast, and soon you can get out of bed and exercise. And you can use some abdominal products to help restore the figure.
Is it true that natural childbirth is not good for postpartum recovery? I don't know where the questioner heard that natural childbirth is not conducive to postpartum recovery. Compared to a cesarean section, a normal birth is more favorable to post-partum recovery and less likely to leave post-partum complications, and a cesarean section is not as good as it seems.
In our clinic, there is such a way to say that a normal delivery is the baby out of the front door, while a cesarean section is the baby out of the other way, took the wrong way out, there is bound to be some price to pay. A C-section requires not only an incision in the abdomen, but also an incision in the uterus so that the baby can be pulled out of it. Having an incision in the uterus is simple when you think about it, but this incision can affect postpartum recuperation and even the outcome of future pregnancies. In contrast, after a normal delivery, you can often get out of bed and walk around right away, which is much more conducive to postpartum recuperation. A lot of the baby moms might say that after a smooth delivery it is easy to lead to the decline of the pelvic floor function, this is not true, but if you pay attention to the pelvic function recovery after the delivery, you can completely avoid this situation.
In conclusion, as a professional obstetrician, I can definitely say that natural delivery is better for postpartum recovery. I wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy.
This is a mistake, we always recommend natural labor, and it is true that natural labor is better for recovery than cesarean section.
Some people just have this false sense that a normal birth is a child's exhausting labor from below, and the process is more damaging to the mother, while in fact, Cesarean section surgery is more detrimental to the post-partum recovery.
First, let's talk about normal delivery, which can be described as a ripe, proper passage through the birth canal to bring the baby into the world, while a C-section does not only require anesthesia, but also needs to be opened layer by layer to open up a large mouth, and then stitched up, although the wound can be healed, but the scars will always be there.
After the birth, a woman who has a normal delivery can get out of bed on the same day, go to the bathroom by herself, and her normal eating will not be affected. Cesarean section is not the same, the anesthesia did not pass, with a urine bag, the pain of the wound, the discomfort of anesthesia, will come, suffered the pain is not at all less than the normal delivery!
Some of the women who had a normal delivery were able to sneak around the ward on their own the next day. I myself had a normal delivery, and after giving birth in the morning, I was able to sneak around slowly to go to the restroom on my own in the evening, while most of the women who had a cesarean section were still lying on the bed, and the diaper bag might not have been pulled out yet!
So don't be superstitious about what a cesarean is less damaging, and don't think that if you have a cesarean done, you won't have vaginal laxity, the stress on the pelvic floor muscles is something that starts when you are pregnant. Cesarean section as a surgery, there is a need to have indications, do not come up to the doctor to ask for a cesarean section, but to see the doctor's judgment, you have no need to take such a cut!
I've had two children, the first a normal (natural birth) and the second a c-section.
There is no doubt that natural birth is a better recovery than a c-section.
If you don't have an indication for a cesarean section, you should be brave enough to try for a normal birth, and if you really can't go through with it, then you can have a cesarean section.
The first time I gave birth to a baby, I had a normal delivery, and the whole process was very difficult, but I got through it, and I was able to go to the bathroom for a few hours after the birth.
The second time I gave birth to a baby, the doctor did not allow smooth, only C-section, 48 hours after the birth of a very painful, and can not go down to the ground, 48 hours, analgesic stick anesthesia strength of the past, really very painful.
The wound recovery of C-section is a long process.
In contrast, a normal delivery is a much better recovery.
Cesarean section is commonly performed as a lower uterine segment cesarean section, which is a surgical procedure in which the uterine bladder is incised through the abdominal cavity to reflex the peritoneum, the bladder is pushed open, and the lower uterus is incised to deliver the fetus and its appendages at the end of gestation or after the onset of labor.
The indications for surgery are: pelvic stenosis, cephalopelvic disproportion, transverse or breech position of the fetus, soft birth canal anomalies, central placenta previa, placenta previa, umbilical cord prolapse and other conditions that do not allow for a normal delivery. In other words there is no way out.
After the cesarean section, you need to pay attention to the following situations, and postoperative complications:
1. After the operation, before the anus is not yet ventilated, the temporary liquid diet, and then switch to a semi-liquid diet after the ventilated, and gradually return to a normal diet.
2. As the surgical procedure involves incision of the abdominal wall, exploration of the abdominal cavity, pushing away the bladder, revealing the lower part of the uterus, incision of the uterus, delivery of the fetus, delivery of the placenta, cleaning of the uterine cavity, sewing up the uterine incision, sewing up the retroflexion of the peritoneum, and sewing up the peritoneal incision, it is not possible to get out of bed immediately after the operation. So you can't get out of bed immediately after surgery. After the surgery, the effect of anesthesia is weakened, and the pain of the wound will also affect defecation and getting out of bed.
3. Life-threatening complications such as hypotension, abnormal uterine bleeding, organ damage, or amniotic fluid embolism can occur during surgery due to the supine position.
4. Postoperative infections, abdominal wall and uterine incision infections, uterine abdominal wall fistula, poorly healed uterine incision, late post cesarean hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, and endometriosis in the abdominal wall can occur after surgery due to the deep and large incisions.
5. The healing of the incision on the uterus after a cesarean section results in scarring, which may interfere with the implantation of the next fertilized egg, or may even result in a poor implantation site. As the scar is below the uterus, it is easy to result in a lower placement of the placenta praevia, or the fertilized egg directly on the scar, due to the scar of the uterine muscle layer is very fragile, easy to be in the late stages of pregnancy with the embryo increased uterine rupture of life-threatening.
6. After the surgery, a urinary catheter needs to be left in place for 12 to 24 hours, during which time the urinary catheter is also prone to urinary tract infections.
However, these situations are not encountered during natural delivery.
As long as the pelvis and soft birth canal are compatible with natural labor, and the position of the fetus and the cephalopelvic relationship are compatible with natural labor, the mother should first attempt a vaginal delivery, which is a natural birth. The pain of uterine contractions before natural delivery is very severe as the uterine opening needs to be fully opened to 10 centimeters. However, once the fetus is delivered, the pain will disappear and you will be able to move around freely after two hours of rest in the delivery room and have a normal diet, and you will be able to live a normal life as long as you have to put sanitary towels in your underpants to prevent your underpants from being dirty from the bad dew. The recovery of the uterus, the pelvic floor muscles and the abdominal muscles will then proceed naturally.
It is important to note that whether you have a cesarean section or a natural birth, your pelvis will become wider and larger as a result of pregnancy. Because the ligaments between the pelvis and the soft birth canal are loosened and softened by hormones, it is not only the fetus passing through the pelvis that deforms the pelvis, but the pelvis is just as deformed in a C-section. And, regardless of whether the cesarean section or natural childbirth, after the baby, with the recovery of hormone levels, the ligaments between the pelvis will be tightened to a certain extent, the soft birth canal will be restored to pre-pregnancy level, not because of the birth of the soft birth canal after the soft birth of the impact of sex (so to say a few words outside the context of all the post-partum shrinkage of the product is not necessary).
Now with the progress of medical conditions, painless natural childbirth is very prevalent, in the case of anesthesia can also be natural childbirth, the mother does not need to be particularly afraid of, even more unnecessary because of the fear of the pain of natural childbirth to choose a cesarean section (because cesarean section of the postoperative effect of the anesthesia after the disappearance of the pain will be more intense and long-lasting). The speed of recovery after a natural birth is unmatched by any other method of delivery.
Of course, those who have had a cesarean section do not need to worry about it, they just need to take care of themselves and avoid infections, and the recovery will be the same as before the pregnancy.
Whether it's a cesarean section or a natural birth, the hard work of motherhood is the same, and the effort and dedication to the child is the same! Moms are the greatest!
I hope my answer can help you!
Of course not.
It's not for nothing that hospitals advocate natural childbirth.
A normal delivery will allow you to move around on your own or go to the bathroom on the day of delivery, and eating will not be affected, which is better for the baby and the mother. The Cesarean section is not, after all, in the stomach cut a layer of cuts and then stitches, and when the anesthetic is over, the feeling is unspeakable, anyway, it is very painful. Moreover, for women who love to look beautiful, the scar left on the stomach after a cesarean section is also very difficult to bear. And the woman who has a normal delivery can decide on her own when she wants to have a second child, while the cesarean must wait 1-2 years to do so.
It is estimated that there will be some people say that they would rather choose a cesarean section than a normal birth, for fear that a normal birth will lead to vaginal laxity and too much damage to the pelvic floor muscles. But C-section agrees that it can also cause damage to the pelvic floor muscles, and I've answered a question before about which one is less damaging to the pelvic floor muscles, a normal birth or a C-section, so if you're interested, you can also take a look at it, too.
So who needs a C-section?
Most pregnant women give birth naturally, but there are some cases that can't, such as: pelvic bone narrowing, especially thin women may have difficulty in labor, this time need a cesarean section; fetal position is incorrect, that is, the fetus's head is facing upward, the buttocks are facing downward, this situation also needs a cesarean section; the fetus is too big, this situation may also need a cesarean section.
If a pregnant woman is able to give birth on her own, she should prefer to have a normal delivery. It is also recommended that the pregnant woman should control her weight properly during pregnancy, do some exercise, and have a good prenatal checkup to try to have a normal delivery.

Naturally. If childbirth is not conducive to postpartum recovery, then the entire natural world will not be able to reproduce. Natural childbirth is the best way for all living things to give birth, which has taken untold years to discover, so can it be bad?
If the concern is about side cuts, don't be so upset, the pain is over
If natural childbirth is not conducive to recovery, there is no better natural recovery process!
The so-called natural birth is a normal birth, the way the fetus is delivered out through the vagina. It's the way we've been doing it since the beginning of time, and there are benefits to it!
With the change of time and the improvement of the quality of life, now more and more people choose C-section, some women think that normal labor is too painful, do not want to go through this pain, and some women are worried about the vagina will be flaccid, so they choose C-section, in fact, these ideas are not scientific. The mode of delivery needs to be evaluated by the obstetrician and obstetrician to choose Oh, not you want to go along with it, some of the fetus is too large, the maternal pelvis is too small, can only choose a cesarean section, but if you can go along with it, try to choose to go along with it is better so that the body recovers quickly, there is no belly scar problem, and go along with it, after the second child can be arranged as soon as possible, the cesarean section has to wait for 3 to 5 years.
Breastfeeding for mothers who have had a normal delivery will also be smoother, the fetus can be delivered in about 30 minutes to start breastfeeding, and the milk comes faster than mothers who have had a cesarean section.
If you are worried about the vagina becoming loose due to side-cutting, then you can eat a reasonable diet during pregnancy, control the weight of the fetus, and avoid the head of the fetus being too big, which will help you have a smooth delivery. In addition, after delivery, you can do more Kegel exercises, which will help repair the vaginal wall.
Finally, no matter which way of delivery, the fetus can be healthy and safe birth, is the best, choose the right way of delivery for you can, wish every great mother can be safe delivery!
Of course it's not true.
Natural birth, also called vaginal birth or normal birth, there are only two ways for humans to give birth, and the other is called cesarean section, which cuts open the abdomen and then the uterus, and then takes the baby out of that opening.
If the size of the fetus, the birth canal and the force of birth can adapt to each other and become complete, the mother's uterine trauma and the body will begin to slowly recover from the 6th-8th week after the natural delivery; if the fetal head is a little bigger than the birth canal, in order to facilitate the baby to come out, the doctor may be in the vagina side of the mother to make a cut, the wound will not be more than 8 centimeters, the postpartum time to disinfect the wound, wash the wound, to avoid infection of the bacterial
The wound usually heals within half a month after delivery.
Compared to a natural birth, a cesarean section has a wound of 10-15 centimeters, a cut in the abdomen and uterus, a lot of bleeding, a large wound, the mother's uterus and body want to recover, naturally, it will take a longer time, especially the abdomen and uterus wounds, you need to change the medication often after delivery, careful care to not let the water or sweat into the wounds, the wounds will be growing new flesh to heal the wounds, it will be unbearable itching, if not properly. The wounds will be itchy, and if you don't take good care of them, the wounds will be painful on cloudy or rainy days. It will take at least 1-3 years for the wounds of the abdomen and the uterus to fully recover, so it's better to have a natural birth than a cesarean section to help the mother recover after the delivery.
But compared to the two, there are shortcomings, such as pelvic floor muscle damage, vaginal laxity, if the pelvic floor muscle damage is too large, the mother is not timely to do pelvic floor muscle repair, it is very likely that there is a risk of uterine prolapse, I remember in early May of this year, a square in the Square Square Dance, jumping jumping, actually the uterus out of the uterus, and after the examination, only to find out that it is the uterus, and the uterus. Later, in order to save life, the mom had to remove the uterus, fortunately, this mom has 60 years old, for the reproductive aspect, there should be no thought.
