Lots of new mums have heard so much about birth.
There are lots of stories that make them fear the thought of giving birth vaginally.
Then the way out to them is to just have a cesarean section so they avoid all the issues that come with vaginal birth
The fact is just like vaginal birth comes with some risk, cesarean section also comes with its risk as well.
It is a procedure that was made to help mums who have issues or indications for it
Example
🔴Baby is too big
🔴There is fetal distress
🔴Baby can’t pass through mums pelvis
🔴Placenta previa
🔴Previous c/s+ short interval
🔴Prolonged labor
🔴Bad obstetric history etc
It’s not the best to just ask for a cesarean section without any indication or proper reason
Speak to your midwife or doctor. Make a proper birth plan that suits your condition. It should not be based on your fear or what people have said about birth
You can approach birth more confidently by preparing for it.
