October pregnancy, the more to the end, expectant mothers are more scared, afraid of whether it is natural or caesarean section in the end is how painful, in fact? I think I can endure such pain, the baby born mother are particularly great mother ~ as for the two modes of production which is more painful, Xiaobian to introduce you, you can analyze~
Natural delivery refers to the process of delivery of the fetus through the vagina. It is a natural physiological phenomenon. First of all, during labor, with the rhythmic contraction of the uterus, the fetal thorax is subject to rhythmic contraction. This rhythmic change makes the fetal lung rapidly produce a phospholipid called alveolar surfactant. Therefore, after birth, the baby's alveoli are elastic enough, easy to expand, and soon establish spontaneous breathing. Secondly, during delivery, because the fetus is squeezed by the vagina, the mucus and water in the respiratory tract are squeezed out. Therefore, the incidence of 'neonatal aspiration pneumonia' and 'neonatal wet lung' after birth is relatively reduced. In addition, with the pressure of fetal head during delivery, the blood running speed becomes slower, and the corresponding phenomenon is blood filling, exciting the respiratory center, and establishing a normal respiratory rhythm. According to relevant information, the fetus delivered through vagina is beneficial to the future intellectual development of children due to the compression of the brain by vagina.
Caesarean section is the process of taking out the fetus through abdominal incision, which is not the safest mode of delivery. First of all, because there is no stimulation of uterine rhythmic contraction, the production of alveolar surfactant is less and slower, and the regular spontaneous breathing is slower, and the newborn is prone to complicated with lung diseases. In addition, the following injuries often occur during caesarean section.
Different delivery methods also cause differences in postpartum pain points. Among these pain points, what are the most intolerable ones for mothers?
What are postpartum pain points? "
Three classic cesarean section pain
1. Abdominal pain
In early September, Taiwan actress Hou Peicen successfully gave birth to a son. After cesarean section, the wound was painful and she once refused any visit from her friends. Many women choose cesarean section in order to avoid the severe pain of natural birth. However, cesarean section is also painful. Abdominal wounds and uterine incisions caused by surgery take a long time to recover. If the nursing is improper, or some factors are allergic to antibiotics, the recovery of postpartum wounds will be slower and the time of pain will be longer. After a long period of recovery, mothers are painful, itchy and unable to grasp.
2. Catheter insertion pain
Many mothers feel that it's very painful to insert the catheter, and they still need to keep the catheter for 24 hours after delivery. It's easy to pull it off when they turn over, so they have to insert it again. In particular, even after 24 hours, mothers get out of bed to urinate by themselves, but if they can't defecate, they have to insert a catheter again. In addition, the doctor will tell her that once the catheter is pulled out, the mother will have to go to the toilet as soon as she wants to urinate, otherwise it will easily lead to infection and new pain.
3. Postpartum uterine contraction pain
Many mothers mistakenly believe that only after natural birth will there be uterine contraction pain. But in fact, the phenomenon of uterine contraction is not directly related to the mode of delivery. As long as the child is born, the female body will spontaneously carry out the contraction of the uterus, so as to help the uterus stop bleeding and remove waste. Although this conditioned reflex is full of positive energy, it undoubtedly brings great pain to mothers.
Three classic pains of natural labor
1. Pain of private injury
There is no doubt that the pain of women's private parts caused by natural childbirth is unimaginable, and it is still obviously pale to use the words of Grade 10. In fact, there are already devices for men to experience childbirth pain. According to doctors, the pain level that most men can bear is about 3-5. However, every woman has to endure a hurricane with a magnitude 10 pain when she gives birth. In addition, if the fetus is too large, the fetal position is awkward, and the mother's private parts are also facing the risk of tearing, sometimes the doctor also needs to carry out episiotomy to midwifery. Therefore, the most mysterious and vulnerable area for mothers is likely to be attacked by storm.
2. Pain in urination and defecation
Although there is no need to insert a catheter, there are many mothers who are afraid of pain and can't go to the toilet, because they know that every time they go to the toilet, it's too painful. Of course, for the sake of health, naturally do not encourage maternal suffocation. However, to overcome the pain of urination and defecation is definitely a difficulty for new mothers. Who knows!
3. Postpartum uterine contraction pain
Whether it's a caesarean section or a natural birth, mothers inevitably have to experience this typical 'postpartum pain' -- uterine contraction pain. Postpartum uterine contraction caused by pain is very strong, sometimes need a doctor's massage or hot compress method to reduce some pain. And what makes mothers cry is that painkillers are almost ineffective against uterine contraction pain! So a woman has to endure the severe pain in the days after giving birth.
"Cesarean section pain or natural labor pain?"
To say cesarean section pain or natural labor pain, the answer can only be no comparability. Because the two have their own pain method, but if we distinguish them according to the time stage, there are still obvious differences between the two.
In the short term: spontaneous labor instant more pain
In the process of childbirth, the instant pain level faced by natural labor is undoubtedly higher, but after natural labor, the pain period faced by mothers is relatively shorter, and the body recovers faster.
In the long run: cesarean section is more painful
In the process of delivery, cesarean section is anesthesia, so mothers don't need to eat too much pain in the process. We should know that 'bitter first, sweet first, bitter later'. The pain of cesarean section slowly presents after delivery. Abdominal cavity pain, wound pain, uterine contraction pain, all kinds of pain are combined together. Combined with the impact of surgery on the human body, postpartum recovery is slower, which also means that mothers need to bear a longer pain period.
