Ahead of childbirth, every prospective mother is faced with various choices, including the method of childbirth. Normally giving birth and cesarean section are the two most common methods, but both have advantages and disadvantages that need to be considered carefully.
What are the detailed differences that need to be known before deciding which method is right? Come on, we refer to the explanation from Dr. Liva Wijaya, Sp.Andabout various factors that need to be considered, including the benefits and challenges of these two labor methods.
💡 What exactly is the advantages and disadvantages of normal vs. Caesar surgery?
Excess normal delivery
- Hospital treatment is shorter, ranging from 24-48 hours depending on the state of pregnant women
- Lower operating complications; Normal childbirth can reduce the risk of bleeding, infection, scarring, the risk of anesthesia and side effects of using pain medication.
- Faster recovery period, both physically and psychologically; In normal labor without complications, 2 hours after giving birth, patients can actually try mobilization.
- Stimulate a better baby immune system; Childbirth through cesarean section will change bacterial colonization in the intestine, this will cause differences in the baby’s immune response in the future.
- Normal childbirth is associated with a better child hormonal and endocrinological function such as respiratory regulation, blood sugar, and body temperature.
- Reducing excessive anti -pain needs
- The risk of complications in the upcoming pregnancy will be lower. Childbirth with cesarean section increases the risk of pregnancy with placenta accreta and uterine tears.
- Allows breastfeeding in a fast time, bonding between mothers and children occurs faster. In normal labor without complications, newborns can be placed directly on the mother’s chest to initiate early breastfeeding.
- Allows newborn care faster.
Lack of normal delivery
- Uncertain time for maternity. In addition to the time of delivery can be at any time during pregnancy is quite a month, labor can also experience unexpected things. Fault surgery is done if during the delivery process there are obstacles such as non -advanced labor, fetal distress, or other conditions that cause emergency in the mother and fetus.
- Maternity pain, although currently can be reduced by the use of intra -laboratory anesthesia. Basically, if the uterine contraction comes gradually, the mother can adapt to maternity pain. There are several ways to reduce maternity pain without drugs.
- The risk of normal delivery such as tears perineum/ trauma of the birth canal, urine post partum incontinence, traffic jams, and trauma in infants. Each of these risks can be prevented and reduced by examination and preparation before adequate labor, good observations about the progress of labor and the state of the fetus, as well as good midwifery emergency facilities and systems in hospitals or maternity.
- Long -term risks such as the prolapse of the pelvic organs and wound pain in the perineal area. The risk of the prolapse of pelvic organs can be reduced by strengthening the pelvic muscles after giving birth.
Profit Caesarean section
- Very good for the baby’s rescue process and prevention of normal labor complications to mothers and babies such as fetal distress, umbilical cord prolapse, and mother’s birth canal trauma. Fault surgery makes it possible to give birth to a baby in a fast time if the process of accelerating the birth of babies such as labor with vacuum and forceps cannot be done.
- Controlled environment. With cesarean section, mother and family can find out the time and process of maternity clearly. This can reduce the anxiety of mothers and family
- More flexible time.
- Although there is an anesthesia effect, early breastfeeding initiation and childbother bonding can be fast due to the existence of scaps.
Lack of caesarean section
- Operating risk; Caesarean surgery has a risk of infection, bleeding, open/ infected wounds, and complications related to anesthesia
- Longer recovery time, this can be reduced by doing the SC Eracs method. The care time is shorter around 48 -72 hours after SC.
- The risk in the future pregnancy becomes higher.
- Risk of baby breathing disorders; This happens when scheduling surgery is carried out before 38 weeks of pregnancy
- The risk of blood clots, especially in patients who do not mobilize faster.
- The risk of use of various anti -pain increases.

💡 So what is the difference between postpartum care between normal childbirth and cesarean surgery?
Normal delivery

- Wound care; Wash clean Cebok in the wound area, a special soap can be given a female area when cleaning the wound. After cleaning, the wound tissue aproxation becomes better so that the wound healing is faster.

💡 So, what is the right way to choose the delivery method, doc?
How to choose the delivery method
About 60-80% of pregnancy can end in normal delivery, depending on the state of the mother and fetus. Medically, fault surgery delivery is recommended in a state where normal delivery is not possible. It is highly recommended, pregnant women conduct routine checks to ensure the health of the mother and fetus is good so that it has excellent conditions to deal with normal labor.
In the final trimester, the fetal state examination will be carried out, the position of the fetus to the pelvis, the placental location, the maternal pelvic examination, and the mother’s overall condition. These factors are considered how labor will be carried out.
💡
In addition, during pregnancy, the mother’s psychic must be prepared to help the smooth delivery of normal delivery. Cooperation between health workers, pregnant women, husbands, and families can increase the success of normal labor.
