The number of women who choose to born through caesareans continues to grow
The number of women who choose to have caesareans continues to grow. National Agency for Public Health data shows that in 2018, out of over 33,000 babies born, over 6,400 came to the world through caesarean surgery.
Physicians explain this increase by the fact that more women choose to give birth after the age of 30 when more risks arise.
Diana Natan is at the third birth. At the beginning of the week, the woman brought a perfectly healthy little boy through the caesarean section.
"To make a comparison with the natural birth, then it's a lot harder. After I was born the first little girl I went from the beginning, I did not need help, but now I still need help", said mother Diana Natan.
Many women are given the indication to give birth via caesarean just before the long-awaited event.
"In an ultrasonographic control, it was discovered that the cervix does not open, it is very long and naturally it will not be possible to grow. I mean, it was a possibility of labor, but it was not my case", said Elena Chisari.
"Hard. Big pains, drops, different injections, painful".
Physicians say that Caesarean women need a longer recovery period and therefore try to minimize the need for such intervention.
At the same time, specialists say that naturally born babies adapt more easily to the environment.
"Walking through the same way leads to an adaptation of this baby because he takes his mother's flora through the birth canal and is more suited for a lifetime. He will have the same flora as a mum and will have better immunity for some infections", said the head of the BMI Therapy Department, Irina Custer.
According to the legislation, births due to cesarean delivery at the mother's wish are forbidden and are only at the indication of doctors.
"There is only one point in which a woman can insist on caesarean surgery, which is a scar on the uterus, and the categorical refusal to attempt to give birth naturally after a previous caesarean section", said IMC Pregnancy Therapist Chief Irina Castravet.
