10 ADVANTAGES OF NORMAL DELIVERY OVER CESAREAN SECTION



1. Recovery time

When compared to C-sections, vaginal deliveries often need shorter hospital stays and recovery times.  The normal duration of a hospital stay after vaginal birth is 24 to 48 hours, however, it may be shorter.


2. Complications

When labor is induced using injections or other medicines, the newborn may have autism or other neurological issues. By choosing natural childbirth, these disorders may be avoided.


3. Reduced risk of blood transfusion: Hormones such as Oxytocin, when produced in greater quantities in the body, may reduce the risk of pneumonia and blood transfusion. Having a cesarean section may raise these risks.


4. Breastfeeding 

A Cesarean section is a significant surgical procedure that requires weeks to recover. This may be difficult for the new mother since she must modify her position in various ways to feed her baby. Natural delivery, on the other hand, allows you to breastfeed with ease since you recover after the delivery process faster. The duration of hospital stay for women who have cesareans is much longer than for women who have natural births.


5. Infections and discomfort

Vaginal deliveries often avoid the risks of serious bleeding, scars, infections, anesthetic responses, and long-term discomfort.


6. Breathing difficulties in newborn

During a vaginal delivery, the muscles involved are more likely to press out the fluid in a newborn's lungs, which is good since it reduces the chances of newborns having breathing issues at birth.


7. Baby's brain development:

 Natural delivery promotes the formation of proteins in the baby's brain, which aids in brain growth and function. A cesarean section birth does not stimulate the body to produce these proteins, thus the infant misses out on this important advantage.


8. Easier and faster recovery: According to studies, women who have had a cesarean section require a longer recovery period and hospital stay than women who have had a normal delivery. A cesarean section is a surgical procedure that requires time to recover from. It takes about 50% longer to recover than a usual recovery period.


9. Lower risk of respiratory problems: Babies delivered by cesarean section do not experience the hormonal changes that occur during labor. These hormonal changes aid in lung growth, enabling the lungs to function efficiently.


10. Immunity: In the long term, infants delivered through cesarean section are more likely to have asthma, allergies, and infections. Babies are deprived of the beneficial bacteria present in the mother's body if natural delivery is not used. This has a significant impact on the child's immune system. Having a child via natural delivery increases the baby's chances of fighting against various health problems with their own immunity.
