What are the situations in which vaginal delivery will be changed to cesarean section? 4 reasons for vaginal delivery to cesarean

The first reason is that the mother is too old. Natural childbirth is good for both the mother and the baby, but the risk is too high when she is old. The second reason is that the baby is too big. She originally wanted to give birth naturally, but the baby is too big and she will have to have a caesarean section. The third reason is that the fetus is abnormal. If the baby encounters an emergency during delivery, a caesarean section will also be required. Finally, if the mother's pubic bone distance is too narrow and her pelvis is too narrow, it is not recommended to give birth naturally.

Reason 1: The mother is too old

As society continues to progress, women are paying more and more attention to their careers. So, many times, they miss the best childbearing age because of work. We all know that the ovaries will gradually decline with age. So if you haven’t given birth by the age of 30, not only will the chance of conception decrease, but the risk of premature birth will also increase. In addition, the incidence of various diseases in older mothers during pregnancy is very high. If you force a normal birth under such circumstances, there will be certain risks for both the pregnant woman and the fetus, so doctors will recommend cesarean section.

Reason 2: The baby is too big

Some expectant mothers, due to excessive nutritional supplements during pregnancy, cause the fetus to be too heavy, which can easily cause difficulties in delivery. If the baby is not born for a long time, the above will recommend a direct cesarean section, otherwise it will be very dangerous when the mother's strength is exhausted.

Reason 3: Abnormal fetal condition

During the delivery process, many emergencies may occur. Sometimes the fetus suddenly has an abnormal heartbeat, hypoxia, etc., which poses a threat to their lives, so the delivery will be immediately switched to a cesarean section to take the baby out as soon as possible.

Reason 4: The distance between the pubic bones of the parturient is too narrow

We often hear the old saying "people with big butts are easier to give birth". In fact, the shape of the buttocks does not matter. The width between the pubic bones is the key. During childbirth, our female pelvis will continue to expand and the pubic bones will continue to stretch. If the distance is too narrow, it will cause difficulties in childbirth, so the doctor will recommend a cesarean section.

1. Prenatal adjustment

Before delivery, fully communicate with the doctor, identify the unfavorable factors, and actively cooperate to correct them. For example, if the uterus is weak in contraction, oxytocin can be used to correct it.

2. Keep your faith

Be fully prepared mentally and have confidence in childbirth. Even if something abnormal happens during childbirth, don't be discouraged. You should know that lack of confidence will lead to weak labor, making unfavorable factors worse and possibly causing difficult labor.

3. Carefully decide on the production method

Discuss with your doctor and don't decide on a caesarean section just because you disagree with him. You should trust your doctor, listen to professional advice, and weigh the pros and cons before deciding on the method of delivery.

4. The husband actively encourages

Many cesarean transfers are initiated by expectant fathers. In the second stage of labor, the mother's uterine contractions will become more intense, and the pain is the most intense at this time. Some expectant fathers can't stand it and mistakenly think that cesarean transfer can solve their wife's pain. How willful! You should try to stay calm, trust the doctor's judgment, and actively encourage the mother. This is the correct way to ensure the safety of mother and child.

Generally speaking, it is better to convert vaginal delivery to cesarean section than to directly deliver by cesarean section. Therefore, converting vaginal delivery to cesarean section is when the fetus is full-term and the expectant mother shows signs of labor. The fetus is squeezed through the expectant mother's cervix, and the amniotic fluid in the lungs is discharged more cleanly. Even after cesarean section, the respiratory system will be better than that of the baby delivered by direct cesarean section. In the case of direct cesarean section, although the fetus is full-term, the expectant mother does not necessarily show signs of labor, and it is not the so-called "ripe fruit falls off the vine". Therefore, during childbirth, the doctor is better for the expectant mother to give birth naturally first. If there are other abnormalities in childbirth, the expectant mother will be allowed to try labor first, and then switch to cesarean section if the trial labor fails.

Generally, the cost of normal delivery is about 2,000 yuan, and the cost of caesarean section is about 6,000 yuan. You can go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination within the due date. According to the specific results of the examination, you can have a caesarean section or stay in the hospital for delivery. During the period of waiting for delivery, you must pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition.
