If the body allows, many mothers choose to give birth naturally. Because vaginal delivery is the safest option for both the baby and the mother. But if the fetus is too large during vaginal delivery, most cases will undergo a lateral incision to protect the fetus and the pregnant woman. But many mothers don't want to suffer a blow during vaginal delivery, so can vaginal delivery be done without side cutting?
Whether to perform vaginal delivery or not should be determined based on the pregnant woman's own condition. Generally, doctors will make the most suitable choice based on the situation of the pregnant woman and the fetus, weighing the pros and cons. Therefore, regardless of the outcome, following the doctor's advice is the best. When there is a possibility of fetal laceration during vaginal delivery or when the mother has a certain disease, lateral resection is usually performed.
Although lateral cutting accounts for a large proportion in vaginal delivery, there are also ways to avoid it. When the fetus is generally too large, doctors usually require a lateral incision to alleviate the pain of the pregnant woman and to give birth faster. Therefore, pregnant women should maintain healthy eating habits during pregnancy, eat less high calorie foods, which can effectively prevent fetal overgrowth and avoid side cutting. Furthermore, exercising more and engaging in moderate physical activity can also prevent side cuts.
Although side cutting is something that pregnant women do not want to experience, it is necessary for the safety of the baby and oneself when vaginal delivery is not smooth. After side cutting, pregnant women should drink more water, eat more coarse grains, and help with bowel movements; Regularly clean and prevent bacterial infections; Avoid excessive activity to prevent the wound from cracking.
