“ The mother of Mauryan Samrat (emperor), the second emperor of India died very close to delivering him. At that time people around her decided that the baby should survive even if the mother died. They cut mother belly, took the baby out, and saved the baby’s life.” (Wiki)
For this generation caesarean section is a very popular way to give birth without having as many pain as normal delivery. From the research I know how the caesarean was invented and what are the affects of caesarean birth. Even though C-section birth is very popular but there still are some problems with C-section. However, Women are more interested on having C-section. This way of giving birth has some negative effects on the mother and also brings many problems to the

Usually doctors recommend pregnant women to have C-section when women have some problem to give birth in normal way or the baby has some problem. Caesarean birth has possible decreased risk of sexual dysfunction for first three months postpartum. (BabyCenter) C-section birth reduce risk of oxygen deprivation to baby during delivery C-section birth is mostly necessary for breech baby. (BabyCenter) Breech is the baby who is not in proper position in womb of a mother. (BabyCenter) When the baby is upside down, means the baby’s legs comes first instead of head. At that point normal delivery is risky for women and the baby. C-section birth is necessary for that. The women who are effected on any serious virus such as HIV, STD, and HPV has risk of transmitting virus from mother to baby. (European mode of delivery collaboration)“ Seven of 203 infant women who actually gave birth by C-section were infected compare with 15 of 157 born vaginally.” (European delivery of collaboration) This estimate clearly shows that sometimes C-section delivery helps to reduce the deadly disease virus from mother to infant. Caesarean birth reduce risk of birth trauma to baby sometimes sustained from passing through birth canal, or from forceps or vacuum extraction. Women may need C-section delivery for tween or more babies at once, if the babies are not in proper position. Diabetes may be cause of caesarean birth because when women develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy or they already have diabetic, they may have large baby or other complications. Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) occurs when a baby’s head is too big or mother pelvic is too small to allow the baby to pass through the birth
Disadvantages of giving birth in Mali are numerous as one would be deprived of excellent medical facilities provided in any other country in a safe and clean hospital environment. Due to poverty, scarcity of midwives and proper child bearing centers, women have to give birth to children at home many a times. Also birth process is culturally related in Mali where circumcision of male and clitoridectomy for female is performed on the eighth day of the child’s birth in the cities of Mali. But in rest of the areas circumcision is incorporated along with other set of rituals which are performed on the occasion of the naming ceremony of the child. In Mali traditionally male and female development marked the growth from childhood to adulthood and they believe in passing of traditional and religious knowledge from old to new generation.
When pregnant, many expecting mothers are faced with a very tough decision, the decision to have an epidural during labor or to have a natural birth. Both methods have negative and positive aspects. This topic has such conflicting views that about 50% of women decide to get an epidural when going into labor and the other 50% of women choose the alternative: natural childbirth. It is important for an expecting mother to look into both options thoroughly to ensure they make the best choice for both themselves and for their child. With all of the speculations circulating about both options, it is hard for mothers to see the truth about both epidurals and natural childbirth.
In doing this project the literature drawn from is largely non-scholarly for the reason that I am prevailing upon the reader to think outside the box about birth. Most of the “scholarly” research that is available was written by doctors or nurses/nurse midwives who were trained in the medical model of birth. Since part of my premise is that the high rate of Cesarean sections is caused in part by viewing birth as a medical and therefore pathological event, and in part for its emergence as a capitalistic industry, it was then necessary to find literature written by people who have expertise in birthing though not from the traditional obstetrical/medical school approach.
Upon viewing “More Business of Being Born” (Epstein, 2011), I learned a lot about the different pros and cons of Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). Women are often deprived of the choice of the method of delivery of their children after they’ve previously had a cesarean birth. The cause of this is that there exists medical fright about a rupture of the uterus which often leads to death of mother and baby (Epstein, 2011). In the mid twentieth century, it became a common saying that “once a cesarean, always a cesarean” came about. This saying perpetrated the fear and understanding that women have to go about having another cesarean, depriving them of choice (Epstein, 2011).
Childbirth was the leading cause of death among young women. Approximately 20% of women died in childbirth because of poor medical care. Women who were poor had a lifespan of about 40 years (Trueman, “Medieval Women”). A caesarean section was normally only performed if the mother was dead or dying as it was in...
Epidurals also have been linked to an overall increase in operative deliveries: cesareans, forceps deliveries, and vacuum extractions. A meta-analysis of the effects of epidural anesthesia on the rate of cesarean deliveries was undertaken by a group of physicians who examined, categorized, and analyzed all available literature.
My focus on my paper is if fetal pain is actually true, while also mentioning the psychological toll it takes on women, if any, and if they know exactly what the fetus goes through during the procedure.
Pregnant women have to be careful while pregnant. They have to watch out for various speed bumps. There are tons of toxins that can hurt the baby in the womb. The mother is responsible for most of these, after all she is the one who is carrying the baby. Many of these factors can result in death. It is really sad that it has to end that way some of the time. The worst toxins for a baby to encounter while in the mother’s uterus are different types of drugs and alcohol. Those two things can could serious problems for the infant once it gets into their system. They enter into the baby’s bloodstream from the mother, and cause problems from there on out.
...s. Most women are fortunate and have an outcome of a full term, healthy baby, however, there are some women that are not so fortunate and have preterm births. With this said, all women, when contemplating pregnancy, should be aware of all the risks and possible complications that can arise and also the preventions that can be taken.
In America, 1 out of 8 children are born premature. The earlier a child is born from their suggested due date, the poor severe the condition the child can receive. With health conditions of the mother, that may be a main reason why a child may become premature. Women with uterine, cervical abnormalities, or having twins, triplets, etc. may cause a risk of preterm labor. A women’s health is a main factor of how their child may come out. Smoking, drinking, use of illegal drugs may cause women to have preterm labor as well. To...
Worldwide, the rate of cesarean section is increasing. According to the CDC, in 2012 the rate of cesarean sections comprised 32.8% of all births in the United States (CDC, 2013). Between 1996-2009 the cesarean section rate has risen 60% in the U.S (CDC, 2013). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 50% of the 137 countries studies had cesarean section rates higher than 15% (WHO, 2010). The current goal of U.S. 2020 Healthy People is to reduce the rate of cesarean section to a target of 23.9%, which is almost 10% lower than the current rate (Healthy People 2020, 2013). According to a study conducted by Gonzales, Tapia, Fort, and Betran (2013), the appropriate percentage of performed cesarean sections is unclear, and is dependent on the circumstances of each individual birth (p. 643). Though often a life-saving procedure when necessary, the risks and complications associated with cesarean delivery are a cause for alarm due to the documented rate increase of this procedure across the globe. Many studies have revealed that cesarean deliveries increase the incidence of maternal hemorrhage and mortality and neonatal respiratory distress when compared to vaginal deliveries. As a result, current research suggests that efforts to reduce the rate of non-medically indicated cesarean sections should be made, and that comprehensive patient education should be provided when considering an elective cesarean delivery over a planned vaginal delivery.
Sometimes it is safer to have an abortion than it is to actually go through with a pregnancy. About 800 women die from pregnancy or childbirth complications every day. In 2010, 287,000 women died during and following pregnancy and childbirth (World Health Organization). Pregnancy is especially perilous for a woman who has serious health problems even before she becomes pregnant. Going through pregnancy and labor could be unsafe for the woman and the fetus. Epilepsy is one condition that can be particularly dangerous for a pregnant woman. Seizures during pregnancy can harm the fetus, and increase the risk of miscarriage or stillbirth, in addition to increased risk of injury to the woman. Unfortunately, using medicine to control seizures might cause birth defects. Even more common, seemingly less severe health issu...
Both forms of delivery pose their own risks and complications for the baby. As stated before, C-section could result in respiratory complications in the baby as well not being able to establish breastfeeding and more. “Systematic reviews have found that being born by cesarean rather than vaginally is associated with greater likelihood of developing several chronic diseases, including: child on-set diabetes,
Being healthy while pregnant is an important factor when considering carrying a baby. The risk of dying by giving birth is higher than having an abortion (ProCon). Not at women can handle the negatives of giving birth and survive through them. If a woman is aware that should is not healthy enough to give birth, she
Over the years birthing methods have changed a great deal. When technology wasn’t so advanced there was only one method of giving birth, vaginally non-medicated. However, in today’s society there are now more than one method of giving birth. In fact, there are three methods: Non-medicated vaginal delivery, medicated vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery, also known as c-section. In the cesarean delivery there is not much to prepare for before the operation, except maybe the procedure of the operation. A few things that will be discussed are: the process of cesarean delivery, reasons for this birthing method and a few reasons for why this birthing method is used. Also a question that many women have is whether or not they can vaginally deliver after a cesarean delivery, as well as the risks and benefits if it. Delivering a child by a c-section also has a few advantages and disadvantages for both the mother and child; this will also be discussed in more depth a bit later.
