Cesarean section is a means to reduce the incidence rate and mortality of their mothers and babies for those pregnant women who suffer from dystocia or complications. Most people understand that compared to vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery causes greater damage to the body. So, what does the cesarean section rate mean?
1、 The cesarean section rate refers to the proportion of women who have undergone cesarean section in the total number of women who have given birth during a certain period of time. The cesarean section rate in China is relatively high among countries in the world.
2、 Control diet and gain weight reasonably. During pregnancy, the weight of pregnant women will increase, but it should be within a reasonable and healthy level. The normal range of weight gain for pregnant women is 11.5-16kg. If a pregnant woman experiences excessive weight gain during pregnancy, it is likely to result in a macrosomia, making vaginal delivery difficult and necessitating cesarean section.
3、 Strengthen understanding of childbirth knowledge. Pregnant women need to learn a lot about childbirth and labor pain, so that they can establish confidence in natural childbirth, follow the doctor's advice, and ensure the safety of mother and baby. And regularly check the condition of the baby in the uterus.
4、 Increase the safety of vaginal delivery. In recent years, the country has been continuously improving its medical level, strengthening the midwifery skills of hospitals, and providing a safe delivery environment for mothers. Nowadays, many hospitals will decorate the delivery room environment very warmly, and there will be family members and guides accompanying the mother, combined with effective labor pain relief techniques. Mothers are more likely to give birth naturally in such an environment.
