women choose normal delivery. This is also a traditional method used by our
grandmothers, mothers since time immemorial. As said, this method is pretty
safe and has lots of advantages.

To mother
Pregnant women choosing normal delivery will have much time
preparing for their delivery, and they can comfortably walk. Within that time,
women will have a chance to feel the changes in their body when the baby is
about to be born.
Moreover, when having normal delivery, women don’t have to
worry about being affected by the anesthetics and antibiotics that make women
lose their feeling and affect the quality of the breast milk.
Another amazing advantage to women having normal delivery is
that the source of milk will come very soon. The process of normal delivery
usually happens normally which makes your body difficult to recognize the
signal which your baby is about to be born, and then the milk is produced in
order to serve the baby. After normal delivery, women can quickly recover and
have strength to take care of the baby. Mother can also feel comfortable in
eating and exercising
Normal delivery
brings back lots of benefits to both mother and baby.
To baby
During normal pregnancy, endorphins (a kind of natural
painkiller) will be discharged you’re your own body, which will have good
effect on the adaptability of the baby to the life outside the mother’s belly.
Children born normally usually have less risk of suffocation than those who
were born with caesarean. The reason is that normal delivery will make the
alveolus expands, and create advantageous condition for the self-respiration of
the baby after being born.
After delivery, the baby will be in the loving arms of the mother
and have colostrum right after being born. Moreover, giving birth to your baby
normally will minimize the support of the machines and the anesthetics, so it will
be less harmful or cause fewer side-effects on the mother and baby.
Minus
Though having lots of pluses, this method also has some
minus:
To mother
Normal delivery will make pregnant women lose more strength
during labor pain and pushing. This method is also unsafe to mothers having
unusual problem during pregnancy such as placenta
praevia or small cervix, narrow pelvic.
To baby
During delivery, if there’re some problems, it will be more
difficult to handle as the fetus has come to the cervix, which is unable to use
other delivery methods as an alternative. In this case, it will be extremely
dangerous to the fetus.
Caesarean is a
savior for pregnant women and fetuses having unusual problem.
