2. The risk of caesarean section and normal delivery for the mother

Every birth process has the same risks. In normal delivery, the mother goes through a long and physically testing process. While caesarean section, the risks that may be experienced include anesthesia, blood loss, infection, longer recovery, and its effect on postpartum psyche.

3. The risk of caesarean section and normal delivery of the fetus

Citing the ClevelandClinic page, Tuesday, February 22, Rebecca Starck, MD. explained that during a normal delivery, you usually have the opportunity to prepare your lungs to be filled with fluid in the uterus. It serves to provide oxygen after birth.

In cesarean delivery, assistance needs to be given to the baby. The reason is that through a cesarean section the baby can experience breathing problems with extra fluid in his lungs. This is due to not having the opportunity to undergo the process of preparing the lungs. In addition, the baby through normal delivery will receive good bacteria when passing through the birth canal. Its positive effect can help boost the baby's immune system and protect the intestinal tract.

4. Benefits of normal delivery

Not to have many children as Atta Halilintar's parents hoped for Aurel Hermansyah some time ago. Normal delivery, the recovery time is faster for the mother. Plus, the risk of complications for a second birth is also less likely. Even the success rate of breastfeeding is higher.

5. Normal delivery after caesarean section

Planning a pregnancy is highly recommended by the BKKBN. This is because it takes into account the risk of stunting, reduces maternal mortality, infant mortality, and the health of the mother and fetus in her womb.

Starck explained about normal delivery after cesarean section. There are those who worry that in their second pregnancy the scars of the first cesarean section will open. In fact, according to Starck, an open labor wound is a very low risk. Usually less than one percent of that can happen. Starck encourages most women to consider a vaginal birth after a cesarean section.

Whether it's a normal delivery or a cesarean, the main goal is to give birth to a healthy baby. One of the medical reasons for undergoing the process is for the safety of the mother and baby. So it is best to weigh all conditions, both mother and fetus, so that they undergo the most appropriate process.
