After pregnancy, most women hope to have a vaginal delivery because it is very beneficial for the baby and the recovery is also fast. But when the pelvis is narrow and the fetal position is not correct, a cesarean section is necessary. However, some pregnant women may choose to have a caesarean section due to fear of pain. So, what is the difference between cesarean section and vaginal delivery?
Postpartum cesarean section can minimize labor pains and have a relatively short delivery period. Moreover, cesarean section can effectively solve situations such as difficult delivery, fetal distress, and fetal malposition. However, cesarean section is ultimately a surgery, so there is a risk of anesthesia, which may lead to anesthesia accidents, and the probability of amniotic fluid embolism and postpartum infection is higher.
Vaginal delivery is a natural method of childbirth that can reduce the incidence of postpartum infections and mortality. Vaginal delivery can prevent wounds and defects in women's bodies, and after experiencing vaginal delivery, the female pituitary gland will stimulate the secretion of oxytocin, which is more conducive to the secretion of postpartum milk. Moreover, women who give birth naturally recover faster and have lower production costs. A baby born naturally undergoes compression through the birth canal, which is very beneficial for the development of the child's skull and bones. It can also expel fluids from the respiratory tract, thereby reducing the risk of developing pneumonia. However, compared to cesarean section, women who give birth naturally will experience great pain during childbirth.
