Which is better, abortion or natural birth?

Whether a woman chooses a natural birth or a caesarean section is determined by a doctor's diagnosis, but the question of which is better, a caesarean section or a natural birth, cannot be generalized. It depends on the actual situation of each woman. If the fetal position is correct, the pregnant woman is not too old, and the fetus is not overweight, natural delivery will be easy. Otherwise, caesarean section is the only option. Of course, whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, safety should be the priority.

1. Benefits of Caesarean Section

1. Provide a delivery method for mothers who do not meet the conditions for natural delivery. Due to reasons of the fetus or the expectant mother, some expectant mothers are unable to give birth vaginally, or when natural birth may threaten the safety of the expectant mother or newborn, such as when the fetus is malpositioned, fetal asphyxia, the fetus is too large to be delivered, or the expectant mother suffers from pregnancy complications, cesarean section should be given priority.

2. Benefits of natural childbirth

1. Accelerate postpartum recovery. Generally speaking, mothers who give birth naturally can get out of bed and walk around on the same day. You can be discharged from the hospital in 3 to 5 days, and the postpartum recovery is quick, and the cost is normally low.

2. It is conducive to breastfeeding. Mothers who give birth naturally can eat earlier after giving birth than mothers who give birth by caesarean section, which is beneficial for breastfeeding.

3. Things to note during confinement

1. You need to stay in bed for 14 days after giving birth. Except for eating and going to the toilet, it is best to stay in bed for the rest of the time, which is conducive to wound recovery and uterine contraction. Still try to rest as much as possible after 14 days, but avoid being exposed to the wind and catching a cold, otherwise it will leave a root cause for future headaches and joint pain.

2. Eat lamb liver soup and coix seed rice to expel waste from the uterus.

3. Since the immunity after childbirth is relatively weak, it is necessary to use antibacterial sanitary napkins.

4. Do not eat ginseng and leek, otherwise your milk will stop flowing (if you accidentally eat them, ask the doctor for remedies, I didn’t remember this when I was seeing the doctor). Do not eat wolfberry. The only time in your life when you don’t eat wolfberry is during the confinement period, because it can raise the essence of the mother, making her excited and restless, unable to rest quietly.

5. According to tradition, you cannot take a bath or wash your hair during the confinement period. In fact, according to the theory of confinement, you can wash your hair and take a bath, but you cannot use yin and yang water.
