For women with certain illnesses, having a child is also very difficult, so they need to pay more attention in their daily lives and not overlook some of the symptoms of pregnancy. However, for these mothers, they still need to go to the hospital to consult professional doctors, only in this way can they choose the appropriate treatment method. The following small series will take you to see whether pregnant women with hepatitis B have a natural birth or a caesarean section?
Hepatitis B gravida natural delivery or caesarean section
1. If the infectivity of Xiao Sanyang is weak, it is suggested that mothers should give birth naturally. After all, it is good for children and mothers to recover after childbirth. It is only necessary to take effective blocking measures with hepatitis B immunoglobulin before and after the birth of the baby. Some doctors say that caesarean section is good, but they have seen hepatitis B mothers give birth naturally, and the babies after childbirth are quite healthy. Generally speaking, it is OK. As long as you follow the doctor's advice before giving birth, the doctor will choose the best mode of production for you according to your own specific situation. The key is to do a good job in blocking mother to child transmission of hepatitis B.
2. Cesarean section can be chosen to terminate pregnancy in a short period of time, with less physical exertion for pregnant women. It can reduce the chance of birth canal infection to a certain extent, quickly alleviate the liver burden caused by pregnancy, and is easy for patients and their families to accept. But surgery carries certain risks, such as anesthesia accidents, bleeding, infection, poor wound healing, etc. Moreover, newborns are prone to wet lungs without being squeezed through the birth canal, which can develop into aspiration pneumonia.
3. Vaginal delivery (including assisted delivery and natural delivery) is a physiological transition period from pregnancy to the postpartum period, with less medication, reduced tissue damage and bleeding, and a lower chance of infection. However, the labor process generally takes several hours to ten hours, and pregnant women experience high physical exertion and mental stress, which may lead to complications such as gestational hypertension syndrome, fetal distress, uterine atony, and bleeding.
4. Suggestions for comparison between the two: cesarean section should be chosen for women with acute infection or severe hepatitis, while vaginal delivery can be chosen for women with chronic hepatitis or mild hepatitis, but the incidence of trial delivery failure should be minimized as much as possible. It is also necessary to consider the selection based on the physical condition of the mother, the condition of the fetus, the opinions of specialized doctors, and personal subjective wishes. When encountering obstetric situations, surgical indications may be relaxed as appropriate.
5. In fact, whether it is a cesarean section or a vaginal delivery, newborns are exposed to viruses and may be infected. In theory, a longer vaginal delivery time may increase the risk of infection. However, in clinical practice, there is no difference in mother to child transmission between cesarean section and vaginal delivery. Why? In fact, the key is the use of hepatitis B immunoglobulin.
6. After a newborn is exposed to a virus, it takes at least 24 hours a day for the virus to colonize the liver and cause chronic infection. If it is blocked and eliminated before this time, it will not cause infection. So it is important to administer immunoglobulin to newborns as early as possible after childbirth to neutralize the virus that enters the body and prevent infection. At present, hepatitis B immunoglobulin has been widely used, and hospitals have this drug, so there is no need to tangle with the problem of natural delivery or cesarean section.
The above is the compilation of the relevant data on the issue of whether hepatitis B pregnant women have a natural birth or a caesarean section. I believe it will be helpful to everyone. After everyone sees the solutions to these problems, they must be particularly clear about the occurrence of these measures. Only in this way can unnecessary problems be reduced and a suitable treatment method be found to alleviate their pain.
