Cesarean

A cesarean section (C-section) is a major surgical procedure where a baby is born by making a large incision through seven different layers of tissue in the mother's abdomen.

Seppuku

Seppuku is a Japanese ritual suicide where a samurai kills himself by cutting into his belly. It was thought that seppuku was an honorable way to die. Sometimes, it is called hara-kiri, which is translated from Japanese as belly-cutting.

I gave birth to my baby girl 19 days ago. The plan was for a natural delivery and to be induced due to being on blood thinners however it did not go to plan.

On the first day of induction, I had the foley balloon catheter. The hospital advised that the week before they had a protocol change and that this was now their first way of inducing labour. The balloon was inserted and then we played the waiting game. The balloon fell out at 4 hours, inwas checked and told I was 3cms dilated.

I thought, awesome, this is going to be a breeze and all going to go fast. Oh how I was so wrong. They waited till the next morning to take me to the birthing unit (so about 20 hours later), they checked me and said I was 1cm dilated. I almost fell over... how? We were doing so well. Did they wait too long?

They couldn't break the waters at that point and decided that we would try cervidil tape. Cervidil is a long tape that they insert up near the cervix and it releases hormones to ripen the cervix.

They insert the tape and we waited. That night I was having back pains now and then but nothing strong.

The next morning, i was still only 1cm dilated. To say I was frustrated doesn't even cover it. This was day 3 and still no baby. After discussing with the doctor, we decided to try the cervidil tape again.

Same thing again, back pains but nothing else. The next morning, the doctors say I'm still 1cm. After discussing with my husband I decided for the cesarean. This was the 4th day I was in hospital, my baby should have been born by now, my husband was paying through the nose for parking to support me. I was sick of being pregnant and ready for the next chapter of the story to begin.

While I was pregnant, I had never considered that I could possibly have a cesarean. I was so focused that I was going to have a natural birth and I was actually keen on the natural birth because it kind of felt like a woman test. Could I handle the pain? Could I push the baby out without the epidural? How long would it take? I feel robbed of that experience, but she was determined to stay in there.

The cesarean process was overwhelming because it just all seemed to have happened so fast. Let me tell you, anyone that says "cesarean is the easy way out" needs a punch in the face cause they have no idea what they are talking about.

The process of getting the epidural is full on in it of itself. It's a huge needle going in your spine. I've had several lumbar punctures to relieve pressure from the brain so I wasn't completely new to the process.

Then you lay flat and start losing feeling of you body. The anesthetist had a surgical glove with ice in it. He was touching my foot, leg, abdomen- I couldn't feel a thing, i thought he was full of shit. Then he put it on my chest and it was like woah ok yeah I can feel that.

It's the weirdest sensation, you're just paradise from below the boobs down the rest of your body. You are paralyzed essentially? I could not move a muscle even if you tempted me with millions of dollars to.

Then my husband could come into the operating room, he was all scrubbed up and was by my head and holding my hand.

They start cutting into me, they cut into so many layers and separate your abs and you don't feel any pain, you can just feel pushing and pulling. My husband was curious so he would stand up to try have a look until they told him off for it.

Then at one point they bring the sheet that's infront of my face down and they proceed to pull out our baby. It felt so surreal, like this isn't actually happening right now, it's a magic trick right?

Our baby didn't cry right away, she gave a death stare to one of the surgeons like "how dare you pull me out of there, i clearly wanted to stay longer" after a couple of minutes and looking around she started crying. I sighed a breath of relief. I saw my husbands face when they pulled her out, he had tears in his eyes and just a face of being in awe of what was happening then and there.

My husband got to go up and cut the umbilical cord and they did the apgar test on her (she got 10 out of 10, already a high achiever) I could see the cutting and them checking her on a screen.

They brought her over and she was just so tiny, my husband and I staring at her, this is our little family now. It was an amazing and also scary feeling.

In that moment I became a mother. The cesarean was like seppuku, my old self committed suicide to bring this baby girl into the world and I now am a different person.

Understanding Different Types of Delivery: Expert Guidance for a Smooth Childbirth – Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni, Best Obstetrician in South Delhi

Types of Delivery: Understanding the Journey and Ensuring a Smooth Birth Process – Insights from Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni, Best Obstetrician in South Delhi

Welcoming a new life into the world is one of the most incredible experiences a woman can have. However, the journey to delivery is complex, and understanding the types of childbirth options available can help you prepare both mentally and physically for the big day. Whether you're aiming for a natural birth or require medical interventions, each delivery type has its own challenges and considerations. With the right guidance and preparation from Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni, the Best Obstetrician in South Delhi, many women can achieve a safe and healthy delivery.

In this blog, we’ll explore the different types of deliveries, the challenges involved, and expert tips from Dr. Soni on how to increase your chances of having a smooth, natural delivery.

Types of Delivery

1. Normal Vaginal Delivery (NVD)

This is the most common and natural form of childbirth, where the baby is delivered through the birth canal without the need for surgical intervention. NVD is often the least complicated type of delivery, and recovery time is generally shorter compared to other methods. However, it requires careful monitoring and support from your obstetrician to ensure the baby and mother remain safe throughout the process.

2. Assisted Vaginal Delivery

In some cases, vaginal delivery may need assistance. This can involve tools like forceps or a vacuum to help guide the baby out when labor stalls. Assisted deliveries are used to prevent further complications when the mother is exhausted or when the baby needs to be delivered quickly due to distress.

3. Cesarean Section (C-Section)

A C-section is a surgical procedure used when vaginal delivery poses a risk to the mother or baby. This may be due to complications such as fetal distress, breech position, or placental issues. While this type of delivery is safe, recovery takes longer, and there are additional considerations regarding pain management and post-operative care.

4. Water Birth

Water birth involves giving birth in a pool of warm water, which can help relieve the pain of labor and create a more relaxed birthing environment. Many women find water births to be a soothing and less stressful method of delivery. However, it’s important to consult with a specialist to ensure this method is safe for your individual case.

5. VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean)

For women who have previously undergone a C-section, VBAC can be an option for their next delivery. This method allows for a vaginal birth following a C-section, though it requires careful monitoring to ensure the safety of both mother and child.

The Challenges of Labor and Delivery

Labor and delivery can be unpredictable, and even the most well-prepared mothers can face challenges. Common difficulties include:

Prolonged Labor: Sometimes, labor doesn’t progress as expected, leading to exhaustion and the need for medical interventions.

Pain Management: The intensity of labor pains varies from woman to woman, and effective pain management is essential to ensure comfort during delivery.

Baby's Position: A breech position or other abnormal positions can complicate delivery and may necessitate a C-section. Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni, Best Obstetrician in South Delhi, is experienced in handling such complex cases with care.

Fetal Distress: Monitoring the baby’s heart rate is crucial, and any sign of distress may require immediate intervention.

Tips and Tricks for a Smooth, Normal Delivery – Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni’s Expert Advice

If you’re hoping for a natural vaginal delivery, here are some tips from Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni, Best Obstetrician in South Delhi, to help increase your chances of a smooth and healthy birth:

1. Stay Active During Pregnancy

Light exercises like walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga can help improve your stamina and keep your muscles strong, which is crucial for labor. Staying active also helps maintain a healthy weight and supports better circulation, both of which contribute to an easier delivery.

2. Practice Breathing Techniques

Deep breathing exercises can help you manage pain and stay calm during labor. Lamaze and other childbirth classes often teach relaxation and breathing techniques that can make a significant difference during contractions.

3. Maintain a Balanced Diet

Eating a nutrient-rich diet with plenty of fiber, protein, and vitamins will give you the energy you need during labor. Stay hydrated, and avoid processed foods, which can make you feel sluggish.

4. Perineal Massage

Starting perineal massage in the weeks leading up to labor can help prepare your body for delivery and reduce the risk of tearing during childbirth. Speak to your obstetrician for guidance on how to perform this safely.

5. Create a Birth Plan

Discuss your birth preferences with your obstetrician ahead of time. Whether you want a drug-free delivery or are open to pain relief options like an epidural, having a plan helps ensure that your medical team knows your wishes and can support you accordingly.

6. Stay Positive and Relaxed

Stress can slow down labor, so it’s important to remain calm and focused. Surround yourself with supportive people and consider techniques like meditation or prenatal hypnosis to help ease anxiety.

7. Hire a Doula or Birth Coach

Having a birth coach or doula by your side can provide emotional support, physical comfort, and encouragement throughout labor. Doulas are experienced in natural birthing techniques and can help you stay calm and focused.

Vaginal Birth or Elective C-Section: Making the Best Choice for You and Your Baby

Vaginal birth or vaginal delivery, is the most common method of childbirth for pregnant individuals. It involves the baby passing through the birth canal and being born through the mother’s vagina. Vaginal birth is a natural and physiological process, typically requiring less medical intervention compared to cesarean sections. In this approach, mothers actively engage with their body’s natural capabilities, establishing a strong connection with their baby throughout labor. This method is able to leverage the mother’s hormonal interplays and natural coping mechanisms to manage pain and facilitate labor. Vaginal birth usually allows for easy access to immediate mother-baby bonding opportunities and breastfeeding right after birth.

What is a C-Section?

In a C-section, specifically the LSCS (Lower Segment Cesarean Section), the doctor makes an incision through the lower abdomen and uterus to deliver the baby. It can be done under regional, i.e. spinal block or general anesthetic. Usually the mother is awake during the entire surgery.

An elective C-section is performed at the first few signs of beginning of labor or when there are medical complications in the pregnancy which necessitates the need for surgery like in the case of certain kinds of multiples, placenta previa (where the placenta grows over the cervix), a transverse presentation (baby placed horizontally in the womb) and a previous c-section. Please do know that VBAC- Vaginal Birth After Cesarean is an option, explore it in pregnancy with your care provider. Expecting mothers can also request for their doctor to perform an elective C-section delivery after weighing in all the available options and making an informed decision. While an elective c-section procedure is an option, it is not recommended without a medical need as it is a major surgery with complications for both mother and child.

[exocbxmp3]

if pregnancy and birth sounds so abhorrent to you that the only way you could feasibly do it is by getting paid obscene amounts of money and getting a ~nice and easy c-section~ you'll be shocked to know that it's literally a major abdominal surgery that cuts through 7 layers of your body that you're completely awake for and feel every part of sans some numbing tho js

My one coworker is wearing an N7 ugly Christmas sweater so I got all excited only to find out she stole it from her boyfriend and has never played the game herself..

i should have phrased that earlier post differently. "you know who else gave birth around the 25th" is much funnier than "you know who else was reborn around the 25th"

Yes. I have several times. What an odd question.
