When it comes to the benefits of natural childbirth, some people find it incredibly scary. In fact, the event exempts many people from carrying a baby in their womb. But if you know how to manage pain and prepare for a long, intense activity, you may be able to get through it. You're probably weighing your options: A cesarean section is carefully planned, but it requires a very long recovery period, and during that time, a thousand kinds of bad things can happen. Epidural Procedures [In an epidural, painkillers and painkillers are injected into the body through a small tube in the back. This procedure is a type of local anesthesia in which medication is injected around the nerves that transmit signals from the painful part of the body to the brain during childbirth. [Epidurals numb the belly and relieve pain] They can be good, but they can also be numbing and confusing for both mother and baby, causing them to miss the most touching moment of motherhood.
This article explains several reasons why, for a pregnant person, keeping the fetus in the womb until the last moments and then proceeding with a natural birth instead of a cesarean or epidural has many advantages and benefits. However, let's also keep in mind that these births may not be good and may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a certain problem or illness, natural birth may not be an appropriate option for you (because you have already had a cesarean), you may want to consult your doctor before trying a natural birth. This type of birth is an exhausting and painful process, but in the end, you will be very satisfied and happy with it, and studies show that you will be very happy that you chose natural birth on time.
Advantages of natural childbirth
1. The possibility of medical interventions in him is less or does not exist at all.
When natural childbirth is performed on time, the pregnant person will not be affected by any painkillers such as epidural or any other anesthetic; It will be up to the pregnant person to choose different positions and find solutions to get rid of the pain. This means that the pregnant person will have more influence on what her body does and when it does it, and therefore will need fewer medical interventions of any kind to facilitate her pregnancy.
Medical interventions can range from surgical forceps to episiotomy (a surgical cut in the muscle area between the vagina and anus, or perineum, is called an episiotomy). Avoiding an epidural or cesarean section means that the pregnant person will almost certainly be safe from these procedures, and a natural birth will ensure that there will be little to no intervention from the doctor or midwife and that the baby can be easily removed from the birth canal without complications or other problems.
2. There are no cesareans, no cuts or stitches.
Choosing to carry the baby in the uterus until the right time seems less appealing than planning and setting a specific time to deliver the baby from the uterus and then stitching its body back together. Having a cesarean section may seem simple and comfortable and like a logical decision, but it comes with many problems and drawbacks. While a cesarean section may be necessary for some births, it is best not to decide to have one unless you have a history of cesareans and know that it would be a better option for you.
Natural birth also reduces the risk of an emergency cesarean section. It is less likely that the body will not respond and that you will have difficulty getting the baby out of the uterus. As a result, the baby will be in a more compatible and better position with your body, which means an easier delivery and less risk of having to perform a pressure cesarean section.
3. The mother is more alert.
Due to the effects of anesthesia on the body, a pregnant person who chooses to use an epidural may experience negative effects and side effects, most of which are related to a lack of consciousness. This lack and low level of consciousness can cause the pregnant person to lose most of her time during the birthing process and, being "confused" at that time, she cannot bear down or do breathing exercises.
In addition, the pregnant person regains consciousness after delivery and does not react particularly when she sees the baby for the first time. If you want to experience a really intimate and warm moment after the birth of your baby, cesarean sections and epidural anesthesia are not the right choices because, during these procedures, you are under the influence of anesthetics that make it difficult for you to concentrate and pay attention. at the time it happens in your life. They make things more difficult.
4. The baby will be more awake.
Epidurals or other anesthetics used during "unnatural" births not only change the mother's level of consciousness but also affect the baby's level of consciousness. Studies have shown that children whose hearts have been removed from a pregnant woman under anesthesia or by epidural also have a different level of consciousness than babies born naturally. These differences are small and usually do not cause any serious problems, but they are worth noting because even small problems can quickly add up in a baby and lead to a serious problem.
Most of the differences in consciousness levels can be seen in the first few hours after birth. A pregnant person will find that her baby will have more difficulty finding the nipple and putting it in his mouth to nurse than a child born naturally. A naturally born baby has a much higher level of alertness and responsiveness and will have less difficulty drinking breast milk the first time.
5. It gives the birthing person a sense of pride.
As you can imagine, giving birth is not that simple. It will take hours and sometimes even days and will involve a lot of effort, pain, sweating, and sometimes tears (and certainly bleeding) as the Zao human gives birth to a new living being. With an epidural, the pain will be lessened, but the pregnant person will lose a lot and their partner will not accompany them, help them breathe, or tell them when to push, as in a natural birth.
A natural birth can give a pregnant person a lot of strength. It is a wonderful feeling to be able to look back and say: "I did it all by myself, without anesthesia or surgery", although having an epidural is certainly not a shame. If you are able, giving birth naturally can give you an unprecedented sense of pride.
6. Use breathing exercises/methods.
There is no doubt that before giving birth, you should spend many hours with your partner in various yoga clubs and childbirth classes and discuss with medical advisors when it is time to give birth. You have probably done breathing exercises in public and your spouse has disapproved of the fact that you were breathing like a gorilla in front of strangers several days before the promised day. You have probably worked hard and put in a lot of work and you want to see the results on the promised day.
If you are giving birth naturally, you are probably aware enough to do these breathing exercises. Not only will all these things not be in vain, but you will also reap all the benefits that breathing exercises bring. Thanks to breathing exercises and natural childbirth, you will feel better and have a positive outlook on what is happening around you.
7. Recovery time is much faster.
Epidurals and cesarean sections often have very slow and uncomfortable recovery times. Especially with a cesarean section, healing takes years as your body recovers not only from the effects of the anesthesia but also from the birth, the scar left by the operation, and the stitches left from the birth of the baby. To avoid them, you can try a natural birth, which involves a much faster recovery period.
It is believed that a natural birth will allow you to get back on your feet more quickly. Although recovery after a natural birth still takes a few days, the pain and recovery time are less than those of a cesarean section, where the recovery time can take a few weeks to a month. If you want something less painful later and in the long term, rather than just temporary satisfaction, natural birth is worth a try.
8. Labor happens faster.
Continuing with our point about faster recovery time creating a better experience for the pregnant person in the labor process, we must say that having a natural birth will have a faster labor process than a C-section. Epidurals numb the body to pain, but they also make it difficult for the pregnant person to respond when the labor process happens. As a result, it can take a long time for the baby to be born.
This may not seem like a big deal, but look at the long term. If the labor process happens faster, then everything will calm down faster and you will get the benefits of not having to go through the long recovery time we talked about. A faster birth means less fatigue for the new parents and more recovery time, and even then the recovery period will be much shorter than a C-section or epidural.
9. It is less dangerous for the baby.
For someone who does not want to endure all those pains and hard llaborthat they face during labor, it must be said that the epidural will be less painful. However, having a natural birth can be less risky for both the baby and the infant. In fact, it is less risky for the baby because it is less risky for the baby, and for the reasons we have discussed in this article, the overall message is: be safe.
The lower likelihood of medical intervention, as mentioned above, is a positive feature of natural birth. Not only is it easier, there is less chance of harming the baby if equipment or chemicals are not available. While epidurals and cesarean sections are becoming safer every day if this (natural birth) is something you think you can do, why not skip the surgery altogether?
10. It reduces the risk of illness in adults.
New studies have shown that epidurals and cesarean sections can weaken the immune system. When we pay attention to this, we will understand its significance. During childbirth, a pregnant person experiences extreme stress and fatigue that lasts for a long time and weakens the immune system as the body uses all of its energy to take care of the vagina, hip bones, and other things that have been stretched, moved, or shifted. To put it simply; at this time, not much attention is paid to your immune system.
One of the consequences of an epidural or C-section is that the immune system will remain weakened for longer, which means you will be more susceptible to illness. Also, these procedures must be done in a hospital where you will be exposed to more germs than at home or in another environment. This is something we should think about when deciding how to give birth.
11. The baby will have better brain development
Everything you put into your body, you are actually putting into your baby's body. This is what pregnant women learn in the early stages when they talk about how to eat, take medications, and not smoke or drink. But this point also comes into the birthing process. The anesthetic you receive will also spread to your baby's body. While not all of these substances are necessarily harmful, not all of them are necessarily good and can have reducing effects on brain development.
Babies born through a natural process will have better brain development in the early stages of life compared to babies born under the influence of anesthetics, whether by ccesareansection or epidural. This is something we'll look at in more detail later, but it's worth noting that, in general, nature can benefit your baby.
12. They'll have better motor skills
We talked about how babies born through natural birth can have a better nutritional growth pattern early in their life compared to babies born by ccesareansection or epidural, or really any procedure involving anesthesia. It turns out that this is especially evident in the development of fine motor skills, i.e. skills such as grasping, biting, and precise arm and leg movements. The brain development that improves due to natural birth is further enhanced by practicing fine motor skills.
In addition to better fine motor skills, babies born naturally have good social skills and better development of social skills from their earliest years of life, giving them an advantage over other babies. Social skills and their development are very important for babies, and any advice you can tgivethem in this area will be valuable.
13. It costs less
Hospital costs in Iran are relatively expensive and high. These fees are charged individually rather than all at once, but usually as a package of treatments, so pregnant women pay the hospital separately for everything that is done for them. This increases the cost of treatment for them. Hiring a midwife to help Zao give birth at home costs millions of tomans less than what you have to pay at the hospital. This is the money that must be spent to make the baby happy after birth!
It should be noted, however, that not everyone can give birth at home. Sometimes problems and complications arise that require medical attention. In such cases, it is permissible to go to the hospital. But even in the hospital, a pregnant person can opt for an epidural or a cesarean section, which are more expensive methods than a natural birth. It is worth exploring all the options and possibilities and taking advantage of the financial benefits of hiring a midwife if you need one to feel safer and more comfortable.
14. Your partner can participate in the progress of the labor.
If this is your case, you will understand why this step is included in this article. Your life partner, that is, the person who has accompanied you throughout this process and who has followed all the training mentioned above and finally at the birth of the baby, is sitting next to you if this is the case. A natural birth is designed to help you better than anyone.
This is due to the level of awareness that we talked about earlier. In a medicalized birth, it can be difficult for the pregnant person to understand what their partner means. In a natural birth, the woman can be helped to be next to her mother when she is suffering from pain and pressure, to talk to her during this process, and then to immediately approach her and be with her. your feelings.
15. You are more likely to do it again.
A natural birth may seem painful, and let's face it, it is. A lot more pain and a lot more twists and turns. Without a C-section, the birthing process can take hours or even days, and the pregnant woman will undoubtedly feel incredibly tired after giving birth, to the point where she may not even want to see her baby and just want to take a nap.
Despite this and all of this talk, the majority of mothers who have had a natural birth will undoubtedly say they would do it again. Sure, it is an incredibly painful process, but it is also an incredibly special and unique process that you will only experience a few times when you give birth to your babies. When considering your options, ask yourself whether or not you would prefer a natural birth. It is your decision!
