*HOW TO DECREASE YOUR RISK FOR A CESAREAN SECTION*
Though cesarean sections are sometimes necessary, many experts in the field feel that a rate of 15 percent plus or minus 5 percent is far more reasonable than he current overall rate of 33 percent women are having cesareans that aren’t truly necessary.
Because this surgery is so common, however, many women do not realize that cesarean section is major abdominal surgery fraught with potential complications, such as bleeding and infection. This surgery should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
Here’s how to decrease your chances of having a C-section.
📍Check out your beliefs and your doctor’s.
Do you believe vaginal birth is inherently distasteful and too dangerous or frightening for you to get through?
Many women and their doctors actually operate under this belief, and it gets played out seamlessly in what happens in labor and delivery.
A 1996 study published in the Lancet found that of 282 obstetricians surveyed, 31 percent of the women and 8 percent of the men (17 percent overall) said they would want a cesarean section if they or their wives were pregnant.
Many said that they would choose the operation even in uncomplicated,low risk pregnancy.
📍 If you’ve had a prior C-section, consider having a normal vaginal delivery for your next birth.
Though many women don’t know it,both the medical literature and the personal experience of countless obstetricians who have performed vaginal births after cesarean for years show that the vast majority of women who’ve had a previous C-section can safely go through a normal labor and delivery.
A recent study found that roughly 73 percent of women attempting VBAC were successful.
The same study also reported that only one woman out of every two thousand who undergoes VBAC will have a significant complication from uterine rupture.
This makes VBAC safer than a routine C-Section .
Yet according to a 2009 study, women who have given birth via C-section have a greater than 90 percent chance of having another C-Section in their next pregnancy.
There are several natural ways of decreasing the risk of C-Section.
