Is induced labor as painful as giving birth?

When a woman is pregnant for a later period of time, if the baby in her belly shows abnormal fetal heart rate or deformity, she will need to use induced labor to deliver the baby. Because when the pregnancy is later in term, the baby in the belly is mostly already formed, so abortion is not feasible at this time, and only induced labor can be used. Many people believe that induced labor is as painful as giving birth. So is induced labor really as painful as giving birth?

Which is more painful, induced labor or childbirth?

Some people may have accepted the view that induced labor is as painful as giving birth. There are two reasons for receiving such a view. The first reason is that some doctors use the view that induced labor will be very painful to persuade patients to give up induced labor. The second reason is that some places with poor technical conditions may have experienced very painful induced labor, so this view has been passed down. In fact, induced abortion surgery now does not make patients feel pain. The whole process is very safe, and the technical conditions for painless induction of labor are very mature. There is no pain. The only pain is the trauma caused to women's psychology.

The dangers of induced labor

1. The fetal position is not clear before induction of labor or the fetus is deformed, such as hydrocephalus, conjoined twins, etc., which hinders the descent of the fetus during delivery, but cannot be delivered from the vagina, eventually leading to uterine rupture. The rupture is mostly in the lower part of the uterus, which is the thinnest after expansion.

2. In addition, if there is a history of perforation during artificial abortion, too many artificial abortions, etc., there will be old bruises on the uterine wall. When giving birth again, uterine rupture is likely to occur due to strong uterine contractions.

3. The abuse of oxytocin during induction of labor may cause the uterus to contract strongly due to excessive dosage, making it impossible for the cervix to expand, and uterine rupture may also occur.

Induced labor is actually a method of using artificial methods to induce uterine contractions and thus end the mother's pregnancy. It is very harmful to the body of female friends. After induced labor, you must pay attention to nutritional supplements. In addition, with the continuous advancement of medical technology, there should now be methods of painless abortion.
