Cesarean vs natural birth for a birth mother giving up for adoption?

clbowman06

Natural birth is better for you. There is less pain and healing time. There is always an epidural you can get if you are afraid of the pain.

a c section should be done ONLY when medically neccissary

There are a lot more medical risks to C-sections then there are to natural child birth. For one, any time you go under anesthesia there is a danger, even for minor surgery.

you would have to heal for quite a while after a cesarean, and usually within a few days after a natural birth your pretty much done minus the bleeding

c-section is major surgery and I would hope that any doctor would only perform one in an emergency or life-endangering situation.

Are you saying you can just have one because you want one? really? Wow, only in America as they say

Whatever you decide, best wishes for the birth of your baby

C section isnt easier and it takes longer to come back. You will have a scar since its an operation. Since there is a higher risk for complications, doctors do not use this is an option just because the mother wants it. There must be a medical necessity.

Please listen to me.

It is not. going. to. matter.

It's just not.

No matter what type of birth you have, you are still going to miss your child incredibly. You are already bonded to your child, whether you know it or not. You are still going to think about your child every single (yes, absolutely every single) day.

Don't put yourself through a C-section because you think it will be emotionally easier. It simply won't.

The main concern should be for the child. A cesarean is not in the child's best interest unless it is done as medical intervention. Babies come when they are ready, and do not take kindly to being disturbed prematurely.

Please read articles by Michel Odent, MD, a world-renowned obstetrician who has done extensive research on prenatal and perinatal health. I have included one below, in addition to a couple of other resources.

I wish a safe, healthy delivery for both you and your child.

alot of times doctors will not do cesarean unless there is a complication with the pregnancy. when my best friend was having her son, the labor was so painful that she told them to just do a cesarean but the doctor said that to her. she eventually had to have it done anyway because the babys heart rate dropped dramatically. now she is pregnant again and since she had a cesarean before, the doctor recommended another cesarean. I dont know why if it was because it weakened the muscles of the uterus or what.

C-sec. weak? haha, that's funny. With a vag. delivery, you suffer for like a day, whereas, with a c-sec you are in serious f-in pain for like a week. Then weeks 2-3 it becomes more bearable to walk and get around. But, you may be right, since you are not carrying this child home with you, the c-section is a good choice. I had one and it's surreal. It's like, you don't get to feel any of the emotion of bearing this child. Your cut, then it's over! I wanted to experience a more emotional birth with my child, but I didn't have that choice, she was breech. Good luck!

A cesarean is major surgery. They cut through your skin,through muscles,then into the womb. Pain? Yes ,a lot of pain,and a six week recovery when you can't lift more than a pound,where just walking across a room is difficult. Plus the risk of infection,and the anesthetic to put you out for the surgery.You can have an almost pain-free delivery with having a spinal block during normal labor ,and not have all the problems of surgery. Giving the baby to a new family is an act of love and courage,sleeping through the birth won't help,,it won't make it easier,because then in your dreams the baby will never have a face.

Doctors recomend natural birth because it is better for mom and baby. Cesarean is major surgery and carries more risks. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and see if cesarean is an option for you, given your situation.
By the way, I think it is wonderful that you are going to give your baby up for adoption. It must be a hard decision for you to make, but know that your child is going to a home where he/she is very much wanted and will be very loved.
Good Luck and God Bless you!!

If you get a c-section, you'll have the permanent scar to constantly remind you of the birth of the child you gave away

redpeach_mi

if probably just depends on the person. i have had both a natural a c-section birth with my two children. to me, natural childbirth is much more personal and might make you decide to keep the child after you have worked for that long to give birth to it. a c-section does take a lot longer to heal from and you will have a scar from it as a constant reminder, but the birth is less personal. you do not get to see when the child comes out. it's just taken out of you and there it is. the decision to give your child up for adoption is never easy anyway, so it probably doesn't matter what form of childbirth you use.

If I were you I would definitely go the cesarean route! I think that's the most intelligent decision you could make in this situation. The only negative I can think of is the healing time after the surgery. But if you have the child natural you may also tear which can become infected or cause other problems which you would need time to heal from also. A positive about cesarean is it is planned so you & the adoptive parents will both be ready & prepared for the birthday!! Best Wishes!!
