We figure out what kind of beast it is and how it differs from the usual Caesarean.
Is it better to give birth naturally or by caesarean section? You can argue to the point of hoarseness. Proponents of the first method argue that natural children are smarter, healthier and more talented, and those who have gone through a cesarean say that this is a much less traumatic operation than a regular birth.
However, doctors are now practicing an operation called “natural cesarean”. Not here, however, abroad. But surely this practice will soon reach our country. In the meantime, we have time to figure out what it is.
Experience with publishing shared the mother of three children Charlotte Philby, who has become a “guinea pig” for doctors. As the woman said, her first pregnancy ended with a cesarean section. The birth lasted for several days, and there was no other choice. The experience was difficult, but Charlotte ventured into her second child. Again caesarean, this time planned. Therefore, the recovery was faster. But in both cases, the woman and her children were deprived of the magical moment when the newborn is placed on the mother’s breast.
For the third time, Charlotte was offered to try on herself that “natural” Caesarean. She was the first Englishwoman to agree to go through this procedure. And why not try it? All the same, it was no longer natural for her to give birth.
The details were explained to Charlotte. First, a small incision is made in the abdomen. The child is not immediately reached, but is allowed to slowly push out. This process, as it were, imitates the passage of the child through the birth canal. The child appeared outside and began to cry – this means that he is breathing normally. At this point, the surgeon helps the baby to squeeze out – so that the shoulders appear. Then the baby gets out on his own. Slowly, yes. But this is how it should be.
Finally, the baby is placed on the mother’s breast and the incision is sutured. While stitches are being applied, mom and baby are together.
It turns out that this operation is much softer than the usual cesarean, when they try to remove the baby as quickly as possible. On the one hand, this avoids the risks of the operation. On the other hand, it leads to completely unnecessary stress for mom and baby. In addition, with a mild caesarean, the baby’s lungs are naturally cleansed by pressure on their body. And in a normal operation, it is often required to suck fluid from the baby’s lungs.
“I could see everything that was happening on the screen. My husband was also present. He cut the umbilical cord – and he did it with pride. Usually babies cry after birth. Mine was lying on my chest and was completely calm, ”- said Charlotte.
In addition, the mother has better lactation compared to traditional surgery. It’s all about skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the mother.
“I felt like I had given birth myself. It was the most amazing experience in my life, ”admitted Charlotte.
Xander recently turned two.
“He is a wonderful, healthy, cheerful and stubborn boy,” my mother smiles. – My connection with him was much deeper than with the first children. And recovery after childbirth went much faster. “
