How painful is it to have a second caesarean section?

Even a cesarean section for the second child is very painful, but the mother will not feel any pain after the anesthesia. However, it is not general anesthesia, so the mother will still feel the obvious touch of the abdomen being cut, but there will not be too obvious pain. However, after the anesthesia wears off, the pain will become more and more intense and obvious, and eventually it will be so painful that she cannot get out of bed and walk.

Normally there are the following steps:

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.

Preoperative preparation

Before the operation, the expectant mother should maintain a happy and calm mood and avoid excessive tension and anxiety. When waiting for delivery, she can relax by listening to music, reading leisure books and communicating with other pregnant women. She can also relive every beautiful moment of pregnancy with the expectant father.

The following are some preoperative preparations that require the cooperation of expectant mothers:

1. Pay attention to get more rest. Make sure you get enough sleep the night before the operation and eat easily digestible food. Do not drink water or eat anything for at least four hours before the operation.

2. Clean the abdomen and vulva carefully. If you have a deep navel, clean it in advance.
