Ceasarian Delivery?

Question

Is ceasarian delivery is safer than normal delivery?

Answer 1

There are always going to be ups and downs with which ever way you choose to give birth.
I had a cesarean and i had no complications with it what so ever. If i was to have another baby i would have another cesarean.
But this is not the case for everyone. You have to decide what will be the best option for you. If you want to be awake when having baby but don't want to bear the pain you can get drugs that will help ease the pain.

Answer 2

I am trying to decide myself, between a vaginal delivery and a c-section. Vaginal delivery means pain before delivery, C-section means pain afterwards, basically. It's medicine, therefore one thing is not safer than the other. There are risks and complications associated with both of them. C-section could cause bleeding, infection, your incision ripping open, and that's after the surgery. I had my son vaginally, and there's risks there, too. You could bleed out, I needed an episiotomy, but never got one, and now am stuck with a lifetime of pain because of the way I tore, and the way that the incompetant doctor/resident stitched me up.

Answer 3

Actually it is, there's alot let risk when they do a C section, because that can just cut the woman and get the baby out. Nautral delivery the baby can be breehed, cord wraped around the neck or the head be flex and they would never know. So yeah they are.

Answer 4

NO! There are increased risks to a c-section. For HEALTHY mothers and babies, a vaginal birth is safer. A c-section should be reserved for times when it is medically necessary.

A c-section is major abdominal surgery, and, as with other surgical procedures, risks are involved.

The estimated risk of a woman dying after a cesarean birth is less than one in 2,500. The risk of death after a vaginal birth is less than one in 10,000. (These are estimated risks for a large population of women. ***Individual medical conditions*** such as some heart problems may make the risk of vaginal birth higher than cesarean birth for some women.)

Other risks of a c/s for the mother include the following:

Infection. The uterus or nearby pelvic organs such as the bladder or kidneys can become infected.

Increased blood loss. Blood loss on the average is about TWICE as much with cesarean birth as with vaginal birth. However, blood transfusions are rarely needed during a cesarean.

Decreased bowel function. The bowel sometimes slows down for several days after surgery, resulting in distention, bloating and discomfort.

Respiratory complications. General anesthesia can sometimes lead to pneumonia.

Longer hospital stay and recovery time. Three to five days in the hospital is the common length of stay, whereas it is less than one to three days for a vaginal birth.

Reactions to anesthesia. The mother's health could be endangered by unexpected responses (such as blood pressure that drops quickly) to anesthesia or other medications during the surgery.

Risk of additional surgeries. For example, hysterectomy, bladder repair, etc.

In cesarean birth, the possible risks to the baby include the following:

Premature birth. If the due date was not accurately calculated, the baby could be delivered too early.

Breathing problems. Babies born by cesarean are more likely to develop breathing problems such as transient tachypnea (abnormally fast breathing during the first few days after birth).

Low Apgar scores. Babies born by cesarean sometimes have low Apgar scores. The low score can be an effect of the anesthesia and cesarean birth, or the baby may have been in distress to begin with. Or perhaps the baby was not stimulated as he or she would have been by vaginal birth.

Fetal injury. Although rare, the surgeon can accidentally nick the baby while making the uterine incision.

With a vaginal birth there is discomfort (some might say pain) for a short length of time while you are in labor. (Transition and crowing are typically the worst - and shortest - parts of labor.) Then it all ENDS when the baby comes out and you get a sweet reward.

With a c/s there is pain afterwards while you are healing AND trying to care for a very needy newborn at the same time. You would need more help after the birth and your activity would be limited while your stitches heal.

Answer 5

No, it's not. In fact, there can be more complications with it. There's all kinds of infections you can get from having a c-section. Not to mention, you practically need someone to help you take care of the baby for the first six weeks because you can't do very much. It takes longer to recover. It's not worth it if you're considering going with an elective c-section.

Answer 6

Both ways have their risks. The risk with cesearan is that you could develop a blood clot. You need longer to recuperate - you stay in the hospital a lot longer. You will also probably hurt more from the incision. You will have a harder time gettting around following surgery.

Answer 7

there's risks no matter what, with both...
i had to have a c-section and from the story my husband tells me, the only risk i would see is if they accidentally cut me where i could bleed to death...something not likely...all they do is cut you open, pull on your belly, they push at the top while pulling the baby out and there u go....
when you're pushing a baby out, there's always that risk that its neck is wrapped around the umbilical cord while it's coming out, that it's coming out in such a strange way that a bone could be broken (true story...a lady i know, her son's shoulder bone broke while he was coming out...had to wear a cast thing for the first 6 months of his life and he's still real delicate in that area)...
with a c-section, they're taking the baby out with their hands and i would think there'd be less threat to the baby...

i'm all for my c-section b/c it allowed for me to hold my baby within the hour instead of like 15 or more...i didn't have any problems healing and my baby came out fine...the only side-effect is that for the first several months, you'll have to burp your baby often b/c when u push the baby out, it pushes all its gas out and with a c-section, the gas is still in there...but other than that, i loved it!!!! well, u know what i mean
the other thing is, no matter what meds you get, you're still going to feel pressure and pain when doing it naturally...i didn't feel a thing during the c-section

but like i said, they both have their risks and as long as you're on meds, post-birth should hurt too bad...

Answer 8

It depends on how you look at it. Sometimes having a C section is the best option health-wise for mother and / or baby. I had 2 of them and found it to be very easy and rather pleasant experience.

Answer 9

i wouldn't say it's safer than natural delivery...it is a severely invasive procedure. there are more drugs involved, and much more blood loss. also, the recovery time is much longer for the mother than w/ a natural delivery.

Answer 10

iv had both and got told that c section is greater risk but anything can happen in normal delivery
