Caesarean: Things pregnant mothers need to understand

With the advancement of scientific technology, everything in this world becomes more convenient, comfortable and safe, including the birth of a baby. Caesarean section is now the most common form of delivery in many developed countries. This way of birth tells you the exact time, date and time to welcome your baby.

What is a Caesarean?

A cesarean section is to deliver a baby by making an incision in the mother's abdomen or uterus to remove the baby. Caesarean section is for people who cannot give birth naturally, such as complications of pregnancy (eg your baby is lying on the buttock), the mother is experiencing mental instability or infection. The infection can be spread to the baby in the vagina.

What do you need to prepare before caesarean section?

If you know in advance that you will need a cesarean section, a few weeks before surgery, you should go to the hospital to register. The night before the surgery of your baby, your doctor will give you the procedure before surgery. The first is an epidural with an injection into your back. Next, you will have a catheterization to avoid going to the bathroom for the first 24 hours. Since this procedure is quite uncomfortable, ask your doctor for an anesthesia of the sclera before inserting the catheter. Then, the doctor will use medicine to get rid of the liquid acid in the stomach. You should ask for anti-nausea medication, and taking this before an epidural will prevent discomfort.

 

In addition, your doctor may order a blood test before a cesarean section to determine your blood type, in case you need a blood transfusion during surgery. In addition, the nurse will shave your genital area in preparation for the incision near your lower abdomen. This way, you won't feel pain when you start the surgery. The last thing you need to remember is that after the surgery, you will need to stay in the hospital for a few days, so you will need to be prepared for hospitalization.

Caesarean section is a method of having a baby that takes longer to recover than a normal vaginal delivery, so ask a loved one to do the housework for you during this time.
