Prioritize Maternal And Baby Health, Distribution Is Not A Failure

JAKARTA - People often use the term normal delivery which is compared to cesarean delivery. Normal delivery is considered better than cesareans.

Whereas normal childbirth that is commonly used should not be associated with the process of childbirth through the vagina, but rather by considering the final result of the baby's condition and mother's condition remains healthy. For me, normal is a healthy baby and a healthy mother. That's what we have to hold first. Born under (vagina) is called natural birth and no intervention whatsoever, so the birth is natural," said obstetrician and content specialist dr. M. Charnaen Ibrahim, Sp.OG.

Therefore, Charnaen assessed that cesarean operations should not be considered a fail' in the delivery process considering that every method of giving birth to babies has a different experience.

"The target is not a failure, but that is the final determinant where women can choose their goals in having children, either under or through faults. The important thing is that he opens himself up, the goal is to have a family, a healthy baby, a healthy mother," said a doctor who graduated from Sriwijaya University, quoted from ANTARA, Thursday, October 20.

Charnaen said there are certain conditions that can be considered for fault action. According to him, doctors will consider which opportunities are better, giving birth through the vagina or cesarean, according to the condition of the mother and baby in the womb.

"For example, we have tried our best from the beginning of pregnancy until the age of 37 or 38 weeks. We can see that (cessar considerations), if it is optimal but it turns out that the baby is too big, the baby is too baby. Or say everything is good, the baby is right and the baby is okay, but the pelvis is small and then the pelvis breaks first, that's what ends can't be born under," he said.

preparations for mothers who decide to undergo cesarean surgery are actually not too complicated. Charnaen himself always emphasized to patients that the mother's condition must maintain health throughout pregnancy regardless of any choice of delivery method.

For example, the most important thing is to maintain weight. Sometimes pregnant is balas. The normal weight of the body increases by about 7.512.5 kg. More than 12.5 kg means the category is already obese. The risk of obesity is high blood pressure, diabetes in pregnancy, small baby, or too baby," he said.

Apart from being physical, said Charnaen, other things that need to be prepared are of course mental conditions. He reiterated that natural childbirth through vagina or childbirth through cesarean surgery must have a different experience.

And I don't overestimate one of them. Both are goals for women, to become a mother is indeed very heavy. (Apart from) wanting to be faulty or natural," he said.

Charnaen also appealed to mothers not to compare their own pregnancy, for example, pregnancy between the first child and the second child, even comparing it with other people.

"Trust yourself with yourself. If you are sure you can be born under, why not fight for it. Only if you are not sure, don't be ashamed of other methods," said Charnaen.
