Cesarean practice is becoming increasingly popular for choice of labor procedures, but sometimes unfortunately not accompanied by a medical emergency reason. Yet according to the report, the mortality rate was three times higher in women who underwent a caesarean when compared with normal maternal mothers. Also note that caesarean section in women who have not contracted can cause an increased risk of respiratory problems in their infants.
An obstetrician believes that today most women who go through labor normally may take longer. Therefore, the latest guidelines of the international obstetrician association suggest that pregnant women who have low risk of pregnancy disorder should be allowed to spend more time in the first stage of childbirth. This is to avoid the action of a cesarean section that is not really needed.
Doctors should be more patient during the delivery process rather than rushing to choose the path of surgery. It is true that the purpose of a caesarean is to save the life of the Mother and the baby in the event of a labor complication, but so rapidly increasing the number of caesarean section has raised concerns that the caesarean is too excessive and done for no apparent reason.
As a safe step, it's good mother to seek normal labor. For that, here are some ways you can do to avoid caesarean section, whether performed during pregnancy or during childbirth.
Maintain weight during pregnancy
During pregnancy, the mother is encouraged to avoid excessive weight gain. A gynecologist says that from his research found that obesity may be a factor in increased Caesarean section. Obese pregnant women are at risk of complications of pregnancy, including gestational diabetes, hypertension, and blood clotting. All of these are the main triggers for the recommendation of a cesarean. To get the ideal body weight during pregnancy, you can take a few steps below.
Routine light exercise. Walking, swimming, and gymnastics pregnant women are activities that can be done. Mother can also choose yoga that has been proven to improve the quality of sleep and reduce the stress of pregnant women. In addition, yoga can also make Mother muscle stronger, flexible, and increase endurance for childbirth. Most importantly, yoga can also help reduce the risk of preterm labor and other labor problems that can trigger a cesarean. As long as it is approved by a doctor or midwife, this activity can help Mother to remain fit and ready to meet the demands of childbirth.
Avoid exercising in supine position after the first trimester of pregnancy. Avoid all activities that are at risk of making Mother fall.
Apply a healthy and balanced diet that includes four food groups:
Vegetable and fruit
In a day, Mother needs to consume 5 servings of fresh fruit, and 3-4 serving of fresh vegetables.
Milk or dairy products
Mother is recommended to consume 2-3 serving dairy products such as yogurt and solid cheese.
Protein
Red meat, mercury-free fish, soybean or tofu, or eggs. Daily protein required for a maximum of 170 grams.
Grains
Rice, pasta, cereal, or bread as much as 6-8 servings per day.
Choose a midwife
Mother may choose a midwife to help give birth normally. Make sure the midwife is certified and ask your doctor and hospital partner if Mother has birth complications. Before deciding to use the services of the midwife, make sure the pregnancy of the Mother is normal because it is not recommended to give birth in the midwife if the mother has a high-risk pregnancy, such as conceiving twins, has chronic health problems, high blood pressure and gestational diabetes. It's good mother checks pregnancy in obstetrician first.
Sufficient need for a break before delivery
Most pregnant women need more rest than they think. This is because the birth process will make the body more tired than usual. However, on the other hand Mother may have trouble sleeping. Try lying down in a comfortable position, such as tilting to the left with your legs bent. Mother can also use some pillows to support the back to be more comfortable. Striving to get enough rest before the birth is so important that the Mother can meet the demands of labor without medical interventions like a cesarean.
Recognize the right delivery time
Go to the midwife or hospital if Mother has an active labor stage, meaning that the opening of the cervix has reached 6 cm, not 4 cm...
