After becoming pregnant, women usually hope to have a vaginal delivery because it is not only beneficial for the baby's health, but also has a shorter recovery time and will not leave unsightly scars. However, whether vaginal delivery is possible depends on the size, position, and pelvic condition of the fetus. So, what tests should be done for vaginal delivery?
If a pregnant woman wants to have a vaginal delivery, she needs to undergo many tests to determine whether she can have a vaginal delivery. Firstly, it is necessary to undergo color ultrasound or B-ultrasound examination to determine the fetal position. If the fetal position is not correct, it will be difficult to deliver smoothly. Blood routine examination will also be conducted to confirm whether the pregnant woman has anemia, blood loss, and other conditions. And they will also do an electrocardiogram. To observe the cardiac burden of pregnant women.
In the examination of vaginal delivery, vaginal examination must also be performed. This is mainly to understand whether pregnant women have vaginal deformities, vaginal horizontal grids, and vaginal vertical grids that are not suitable for vaginal delivery. Doctors also measure uterine height and abdominal circumference to determine the size and weight of the fetus. If there is a huge baby, it cannot be delivered naturally.
Older pregnant women cannot give birth naturally, for example, it is difficult to give birth naturally after the age of 35. This is because older women tend to have less elasticity in the birth canal and perineum, and their pelvic joints may become harder, making them more prone to difficult delivery. Therefore, doctors recommend a cesarean section.
