Caesarean section pictures

When the mother is pregnant, she always has endless imagination about the moment of delivery. In fact, everything is not as terrible as imagined. Fully understanding the delivery process may help you relieve a lot of stress at that moment. Want to know what a cesarean section is like? Under normal circumstances, the fetus is head down in the uterus, and some fetal positions may lead to the risk of vaginal delivery. For example, placenta previa will block the safe passage of the fetus's birth, and placental abruption will seriously affect the fetus's supply of oxygen and nutrients.

Therefore, when there are risks of vaginal delivery and in real emergencies, general anesthesia is conducive to the rapid progress of surgery and reduces the occurrence of unexpected situations. In non-emergency situations, regional anesthesia is generally the preferred choice for surgical treatment.

Vertical incisions cause less bleeding and allow the fetus to be delivered quickly, but are not conducive to the mother's attempts at vaginal delivery during subsequent pregnancy. Vertical incisions increase the risk of uterine rupture during the second pregnancy.

After the operation, the patient is generally required to be hospitalized for observation for 2 to 4 days. The doctor will try to encourage the pregnant woman to get out of bed as soon as possible and carry out normal activities to facilitate the healing of the wound and reduce the possibility of complications. The wound will heal in one or two weeks.

What troubles do you have after giving birth?

Three classic pains of cesarean section

1. Pain from abdominal wound

Many mothers are afraid of the pain of natural childbirth, so they will eventually choose cesarean section. However, the wound after cesarean section will also be painful. If the medical care is poor or the mother is allergic to certain antibiotics, the postpartum recovery will be slower and the pain will last longer.

2. Catheterization pain

Mothers have to have a catheter inserted for 24 hours, and it is very painful! It is very easy to fall off during normal turning over, and it has to be inserted again. If mothers are still unable to get out of bed to urinate after 24 hours, a urinary catheter has to be inserted again. If you keep doing this, you will definitely collapse! The doctor also warned that after the catheter is removed, if you feel the urge to urinate but do not urinate immediately, it may cause infection and cause new pain.

3. Postpartum uterine contraction pain

Many mothers incorrectly believe that uterine contraction pain only occurs after choosing a natural birth. But in fact, there is no direct connection between uterine contraction and delivery mode. After childbirth, the woman's body will spontaneously contract the uterus to help the uterus circulate blood and remove waste.
