Today, however, physicians give their patients the option to go through with natural delivery or chose a natural delivery. This may be due to the increase in celebrity trends or because women are having babies later in life and advanced maternal age comes into play when making the decision. Regardless of the increase of this type of delivery, one thing remains true, it is surgery and the …show more content…
Rest as much as physically possible. If someone offers to watch the baby for an hour take them up on it. Do not try to play hostess, walk the dog, pay the bills and mow the lawn. Your only concern is you and baby! Conserve your strength for the both of you. 2. Do not lift anything heavier than your baby. This is not always possible if you have other small children, but if you were not lifting a certain weight while you were pregnant then don't lift it now. You risk doing significant damage if your stitches rip open. 3. Do not climb stairs more than 2 or 3 times a day. If stairs are unavoidable in your case, try going up them backwards. It may look silly, but it is so much less painful. 4. Limit your social activities. Mornings are usually the time when your energy is at it's peak so save social visits and appointments for mornings. Everyone wants to see you and the new baby, but your energy may be low. Don't try to please anyone or feel guilty for taking care of yourself. 5. If your insides feel too jiggly that it becomes uncomfortable to move- wear a light support undergarment, Spanx or a Belly Band to help the excess movement. Some women actually become nauseous from the excessive movement. It is rumored that support undergarments hinder your muscles from strengthening back up, but doctors explain that this would be impossible to happen unless you were wearing a corset like
In depth discussion of planned and emergency C/S deliveries were also discussed. Planned C/S births were defined as “breech presentation, multiple pregnancy, preterm birth, small for gestational age, placenta praevia, morbidly adherent placenta, cephalopelvic disproportion in labor, mother-to-child transmission of maternal infection, Hepatitis B and C viruses, Herpes, and maternal request for C/S birth was outlined” (National Guideline Clearinghouse, 2011). An in-depth outline of anesthesia and surgical techniques followed. It seems that this source addressed nearly every type of C/S birth technique, including “method of placental removal, exteriorization of the uterus, closure of the uterus, peritoneum, abdominal wall, and subcutaneous tissue, use of superficial wound drains, closure of skin, and even timing of antibiotic administration and thromboprophylaxis for C/S births. Care of the woman after C/S surgery, routine monitoring, pain management, eating and drinking after surgery, and removing the urinary catheter after C/S surgeries was also discussed(National Guideline Clearinghouse, 2011)”. There is even a benefits/harms section that looks at potential risks and successes of C/S deliveries. The National Guidelines Clearinghouse

The intent of this paper is to examine effective solutions for reducing cesarean deliveries. Cesarean deliveries involve more risk to both the mother and baby than vaginal births do. Cesarean deliveries have a higher potential of complications than vaginal births. Cesarean deliveries cost more, require longer hospital stays, and require more resources—both human and systemic—than vaginal births.
A labor and delivery nurse is a nurse who cares for woman and newborns during antepartum, intraparetum, postpartum, and neonatal stages of birth. These nurses take vital signs to make sure the mother and her newborn are healthy. Labor and delivery nurses aren’t there for the medicine they are also there to provide support for the mother and the family. I would like to become a labor and delivery nurse because I love helping and taking care of others, especially when it comes to babies, I have always been interested in how the human reproduction systems works, and I love seeing others happy.
If I was the defense attorney trying to defend either one of these two cases. I would not bring it to trial because of the fact it would be hard for me to prove to the court that individuals was in there right state of mind when the incidents occurred. Furthermore it would take intensive amount of time for the psychologist to do this if he or she is not
Healthy childbirth is defined as a safe, natural process that rarely requires medical intervention (Goer & Romano, 2012). The medical model of care, however, often includes interventions that are not supported by the evidence and can increase a woman’s risk of having a cesarean section. These intrusions into labor and birth often lead to what has been called the “cascade of interventions” (DeClercq, Sakala, Corry,
Cesarean births have been on the rise over the last decade and are associated more with failed inductions than with medical necessity. C-sections are associated with more short and long term complications for mother and baby. By promoting a pregnant woman to opt out of inductions before 40-42 weeks and educating about vaginal birth after cesarean section, the United States can drop the number of cesarean sections performed.
Ever wonder what form of delivery is safer? Well first off what are the forms of delivery? There are two forms of delivery. There is either a vaginal delivery or a cesarean delivery. A vaginal delivery is where the baby passes through the birth canal by normal means. A cesarean section is where the baby is pulled out through an incision made in the mothers stomach and uterus.
Depending on your circumstance, they may recommend a variety of exercises you can do at home to keep your muscles, tendons and ligaments where they need to be, all while strengthening your body. This added strength is a great way to stay healthy and active during pregnancy. Your chiropractor may recommend:
Move around gently for short periods or take short walks as directed by your health care provider.
2) Doing some baby yoga in some books it will show what sort of exercise you can do with the baby.
A cesarean section, also known as a C-Section, is an alternative to natural birth for a woman that is in labor. Although some people believe there is only one way for a woman to have a baby, some emergencies might be present and the mother-to-be can not have the baby vaginally. Also, some doctors would rather have a woman with herpes to undergo a C-Section rather than to have the baby naturally so the baby will not be born with the disease all over its body. C- Sections are a medical procedure that could save lives and prevent diseases.
The nurse must be mindful of each intervention initiated and the possible benefits of the intervention against its potential harmful effects for both mother and fetus. Not providing basic comfort measures for the mother can cause serious physical and emotional problems and could lead to possible fatigue and feelings of failure from the mother. The priority of this nursing intervention is to provide the mother and fetus with the least discomfort as possible and
Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is the name used for identifying the method of giving birth vaginally after previously delivering at least one baby through a caesarean section (CS). A trial of labour (TOL) is the term used to describe the process of attempting a VBAC. An elected repeat caesarean (ERC) is the other option for women who have had a caesarean in the past. The rates of women choosing to deliver by means of an ERC has been increasing in many countries, this is typically due to the common assumption that there are too many risks for the baby and mother (Knight, Gurol-Urganci, Van Der Meulen, Mahmood, Richmond, Dougall, & Cromwell, 2013). The success rate of VBAC lies in the range of 56 - 80%, a reasonably high success rate, however, the repeat caesarean birth rate has increased to 83% in Australia (Knight et al., 2013). It is essential to inform women of the contraindications, success criteria, risks, benefits, information on uterine rupture and the role of the midwife in relation to considering attempting a VBAC (Hayman, 2014). This information forms the basis of an antenatal class (Appendix 1) that provides the necessary information to women who are considering attempting a VBAC and can therefore enable them to make their own decision regarding the mode of birth.
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
