Why normal delivery has a much better prospect?


In recent times, researchers have found that despite the pain, mothers want to actively participate in the birthing process. Mothers who choose natural birth over other forms of birthing rate their childbirth experience higher, and feel that active participation completes the experience of pregnancy. Here are a few reasons why you should consider birthing your child naturally.

Medical implications:

Pain relief medication and epidurals often prolong delivery of the baby. They can slow down the contractions. Furthermore, because the pain is numbed, women are unable to properly feel the contractions and do not know when to push. This hinders the birthing process as they cannot keep up with the rhythm of the contractions. In case of natural birth, the mother is always alert and can efficiently push at the right time. Also, there is not much scope for medical intervention when it comes to natural delivery. This reduces the chance of issues related to complications such as irregularity of heartbeat in the baby. Most importantly, it has been noticed that women who deliver naturally have a faster recovery time. They are able to move around, or get up if they wish to.

Long term consequences:

Babies born naturally have lesser risk of developing respiratory problems. The expulsion of amniotic fluid from the baby's thorax during the birthing process helps to prepare the baby's lungs to breathe. Natural birthing also stimulates blood circulation in the child and offers long term benefits with regards to a child's coordination skills. Studies show that naturally born babies have a lesser chance of developing type 1 diabetes. What's more, during the process, protective bacteria are received by the child. These help to develop the baby's immune system. Mothers who choose natural birth have lesser chances of birth related complications during future births. Moreover, natural birth has lower maternal mortality than any other form of birthing.

Emotions and attitude:

Without the intervention of drugs, women are fully conscious during the natural delivery. They feel connected to their bodies. The release of endorphins is high. The hormone has a calming effect, which helps relieve pain during the process, and leaves the mother feeling happy at the end of the birthing. Women feel love and connection towards their newborns. Babies, too, experience the surge of a hormone known as catecholamine during natural delivery, which makes them more alert and feel more connected with their mothers. Psychologists say that those women who choose natural childbirth over pain medications feel confident after the birthing process. Overcoming the strenuous and painful act of labor makes them feel stronger, and lessen their fears. They are empowered by the birthing process and feel confident that they can overcome any obstacle that they might have to overcome in their lives.

Conclusion:

The delivery of the baby is choice of the mother, but it is also necessary for the mother to know the pros and cons of each type of delivery i.e. cesarean or normal. So, the above article has been discussed to get a clear picture of what a normal delivery is.
