Elective ceseareans increase risk of lung problems

Elective ceseareans increase risk of lung problems Empty Elective ceseareans increase risk of lung problems

Post by kay Sun Jan 13, 2008 12:27 pm

I was reading today in a magazine that 1 in 3 births are now elective ceseareans, where as 10 years ago it was much less and in an emergency only.
The natural birth process, when baby is pushed through the birth canal, kick starts the lungs into action properly and prepares them for the 1st breath. When baby is 'lifted' out, the lungs do not go through this natural process, and these babies are 10% more likely to suffer lung and chest problems.

This could go some way to explaining the increasing levels of asthma etc.

I think an emergency section can be horrifying for many of the women, my mum had to have one twice because of low lying placenta.

I would never choose to do it, only do it in the event of my babies health being in danger, but the problem is many women are pushed to do it when the doctors and nurses make them have one when it isn't nessesary.

To choose to have one because of your own vain reasons or because you scared im sorry but personaly I dont see why they need it and shouldn't.

Giving birth vaginaly can be very painful, (thought of doing it again in the future makes me not to want sex again Razz) and it is the same for Csec recovery ( according to my mom whos has gone through 4 vaginal and two Csec)

Csecs are not natural and should be only used when its the ONLY last option!

I agree!

I think the hospitals are largely to blame, they seem to just jump in with 'oh we'll book you in for a section'.
There is a need for c section when either mum or baby health is put at risk, but i dont understand the increasing culture for 'booking' them in.

The hospitals are the same with pain relief - while i have been in, they constantly come at me with a shot of pethidine - which i have to make a very big issue out of refusing, as it can cause problems in an early labour baby. Their attitude is ' oh the nurses on SCBU will give another injection to reverse the effects!' erm, no thanks Evil or Very Mad
they also try and force it on all mums starting labour on antenatal - it seems you have to be very strong to state your case, and be very adamant with what you do and dont want.

I agree with you re.elective c-secs!
Cannot understand why anyone would opt to have one. I have had 4 (all emergencies) with Zachary they nearly lost me!
This is a major operation, so not only is the mother recovering from giving birth but also major surgery. After 2 of my sections I also ended up with severe infection in my wound and was practically immobile for weeks. Where as with my 3 normal deliveries I was up and at'em stright away. Breastfeeding was a lot easier after vaginal births too as din't have added pain of wound.
I don't understand why consultants give the option of elective sections as , as you say Kay it is also so much better for baby to be pushed out in order to kickstart lungs into working and much less risk for Mum too.

I agree about c-sections - i had to have one with Emily (breech) and i wanted to try for a natural breech delivery and was ready to argue my case at my consultants appointment but i never got there. Mad
My waters broke and had to go in for a cesarean - they wouldn't discuss the option of a natural birth as the risks were too high and my waters had broken.

The recovery period was long and painful but i did have a lot of discomfort after my vaginal delivery aswell due to a 3rd degree episiotomy and connor having to be 'scouped' out by 2 midwives. I could barely walk and was discharged the next day with no pain relief - at least with a c-section pain control is taken seriously.

I would say that the hosp i was in were very good regarding pain relief during labour - they left it entirely up to me and nver suggested it after i'd said i didn't want any in my early labour.

Emily has not suffered any brealthing diff but two babies delivered by c-scetion were taken into SCBU after developing breathing diffuiculties and the MW did say it was prbobably mucus that is pushed out during natural labour. In America they are now performing c-sections that mimic the birth canal 'experience' as they take the baby out to the chest level and wait for a contraction and then deliver. Obviously this cannot be done in all cases but ths shows that they know it is a disadvantage for babies.
