There are various myths about giving birth to a caesarean that you may often hear, ranging from the notion that the woman who is undergoing it has not become a full mother, to babies born by cesarean section prone to disease. Before swallowing the myth whole, let's check the facts.
The first thing that is important for you to believe is that you have a normal delivery or cesarean section, you are still a complete mother. In a number of conditions, such as breech babies, infants too large, twins more than 2, and the placenta under (placenta previa), caesarean delivery is even the best way for mothers and babies.
Myths About Giving Birth to Caesar and the Facts
Before thinking about anything about giving birth to a caesarean section, let's know the following myths and facts.
1. Caesarean section delays breastfeeding and "bonding time" with the baby
This assumption is certainly not right, because during childbirth by caesarean section, there is a choice of anesthesia method to be performed. If it is done under general anesthesia, breastfeeding may only be done when the mother is fully conscious. However, that does not mean Mother is canceled breastfeeding, right?
In addition, most caesareans usually use partial or epidural anesthesia which only numbs the waist down. Epidural anesthesia will make babies born by cesarean section can be placed directly on the mother's chest, to initiate early breastfeeding (IMD) like a normal childbirth.
IMD performed in a caesarean section is slightly different from a normal delivery. In a normal labor, the baby will be placed in the mother's stomach. While in cesarean section, the baby will be placed on the chest.
Caesarean delivery should also not inhibit milk production. But if breast milk is still difficult to get out, Mother can use a breast pump.
2. Failure to be a mother because they do not feel the pain of giving birth
The myth of giving birth to a caesarean is certainly not true, because both normal and cesarean mothers both feel pain. The difference is, normal childbirth occurs during labor, while cesarean labor is felt after labor or after the anesthesia is gone. In fact, mothers who give birth by cesarean section may experience pain for longer, you know.
Mothers who give birth normally and caesarean still experience puerperal, and have the risk of experiencing baby blues syndrome, postpartum depression, and infection. So, it's not much different, right, Mother?
3. Once a cesarean is born, it will always be a cesarean
This myth is not right either. If there are no health problems, both in the mother and the fetus, you can still give birth normally after a cesarean section, really. However, there are indeed a number of things to consider, such as the distance of the pregnancy, the reason for previous cesarean section, the condition of the fetus and mother, and the mother's health history.
4. Caesarean babies are vulnerable to illness
This belief is not entirely wrong. Caesarean babies are more at risk of respiratory problems, especially if the delivery is done before 39 weeks' gestation. This is because the process of lung maturation and the normal delivery process can help the baby remove fluid from the lungs.
However, a baby's health does not entirely depend on the choice of labor that is performed, because there are many other factors that also affect, ranging from breastfeeding, immunization, to the healthy lifestyle and lifestyle that the baby lives in the future.
From now on, don't immediately believe if you hear the myth of giving birth to a caesarean, Mother. Both normal and caesarean birth both have advantages and disadvantages. If you are still doubtful and confused, consult with your doctor to determine the best delivery process for you and your child.
