A normal birth (through the vagina) is almost the same as the pain during limb be amputated. Some time later I found a birth operation Caesar.
This operation is not too sick for using anesthesia. But people also thought that the pain after giving birth is longer than the pain when a normal birth.
But has now found a new way that is not more pain: birth in water.
Giving birth in water, or the term is now Water Birth, is a method of birth through the vagina to normal in the water. The concept of this method appeared to have emerged since a long time, since the 1960s from the idea of a Russian researcher, Igor Charkovsky.
This method continues to be developed and eventually began medical protocols made since 1991 at the Monadnock Community Hospital, New Hampshire, United States.
Now, hospitals in the United States and the UK has been using this method. In Indonesia, this method has also been used, although still rare.
Benefits and contra indication:
In fact, most benefit from either method of giving birth in water is for babies. Water used is hot water with a temperature that is not high, the temperature is similar to the temperature in the mother's womb. So out of the womb so the mother, the baby feel secure and comfortable as the mother in the womb, so that it can better adapt.
Once removed from the water, the baby is crying. Babies also become more clean from dirt and blood.
Besides the benefits for babies, the benefits for the mother and also have many more, including:
- The warm water can make the mother become more comfortable and rileks at birth, also help lower high blood pressure arises because the anxious mother. This is because warm water can reduce the stress hormone release and trigger the hormone as a resistor endorfin pain.
- Water can also facilitate movement of capital because of the type of water membanti 'alleviate' maternal body weight. This warm water can also increase the mother's energy.
- Water helps warm cause contraction of uterus and efficient circulation of blood in the uterus become more smoothly, so that the oxygen to the baby also increases. In addition, the perineum may also become more elastic, thus reducing the risk of rip in the vagina during childbirth.
However, the same as other medical procedures, there is always the risk of medical action.
To avoid 'side effects' of this method, there are some things that absolutely must be avoided, such as:
- There is a contra indication as in normal pregnancy, such as the baby is born not in a position under the foot above the head, but even under the feet and head on.
- The sexually transmitted disease like herpes because herpes viruses can not die in hot water.
- The estimate of excess bleeding, preeklampsia, pregnancy or infection.
- Pregnancy twin.
- The estimate of the baby is born premature.
- The mekonium (feses baby) the excess.
