How many weeks is appropriate for cesarean section for second child

Female friends should take better care of their bodies when giving birth to their second child. Some people can only have a cesarean section. In that case, they must take good care of their bodies before the operation and have a comprehensive physical examination to decide whether they are suitable for a cesarean section. And they must wait until just before delivery to have a cesarean section, so as to avoid adverse effects of premature delivery on the fetus.

Cesarean section (Cesarean section) is an important operation in the field of obstetrics. The first live cesarean section occurred in 1610, when surgeons Trautmann and Gusth performed the first cesarean section on a woman, but the woman died 25 days after the operation.

At present, due to the progress in anesthesiology, blood transfusion, infusion, water and electricity balance knowledge, as well as improvements in surgical methods, surgical suture materials and infection control measures, cesarean section has become an effective means to solve dystocia and certain obstetric complications and to save the lives of mothers and perinatal infants.

Vaginal delivery is a natural and physiological way of delivery. The mother can recover quickly after delivery and the newborn can better adapt to the external environment. A cesarean section is a surgical procedure in which the uterus is opened through the abdomen to remove the fetus.

The rates of intraoperative bleeding, postoperative thrombosis, placenta previa and uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies among women who undergo cesarean section are much higher than those among women who give birth vaginally. At the same time, the rates of respiratory dysfunction and amblyopia in newborns born by cesarean section are higher than those in newborns born vaginally, and their resistance is much lower than that of newborns born vaginally. Cesarean section without medical indication not only fails to reduce perinatal mortality, but increases postoperative morbidity and maternal mortality. Therefore, cesarean section without medical indication is not recommended.

Procedure 1: Anesthesia

After the anesthetic takes effect, the doctor will make an incision in the expectant mother's lower abdomen, just above the pubic hair line. If the expectant mother is still awake, she will feel the sensation of being "cut", but will not feel any pain.

Procedure 2: Caesarean section

At this time, the doctor will make a second incision on the expectant mother's uterus and the amniotic sac will be opened. If it has not ruptured, aspirate the fluid. You may hear gurgling or splashing sounds of liquid flowing.

Process 3: Delivery

The baby is usually gently removed by the doctor, either manually or with forceps, while squeezing the mother's uterus. Because the baby's meninges are hard, the expectant mother can feel the baby being pulled out. Then, the umbilical cord is quickly cut, and while the baby is being carefully cared for, the doctor will remove the mother's placenta.

Process 4: Suturing

The doctor will quickly examine your genitals and sew up the incisions. The uterine incision will be closed with absorbable sutures, which do not have to be removed later. The incision in the abdomen is usually closed with regular sutures.

In fact, with the advanced modern medical technology, cesarean section has become a very easy operation, so expectant mothers don’t have to worry at all. They just need to ask their family members to wait patiently outside the operating room for the expectant mother and baby to appear.
