Who says giving birth by Caesarean section easier
and less painful than normal vaginal childbirth? Pain in the birth by caesarean
section will be felt after a caesarean section to a few weeks.
Here are 10 facts you need to know about cesarean
section are:
1. Still Involving Vagina
Although the vagina is no longer a route out
baby when someone undergoing cesarean, but the doctor will provide the cleaning
fluid vagina after childbirth. Fluids are given more than once if necessary
which aim to clean up all the blood that may leak through the vagina after
surgery.
You also must be ready when the nurse inserted
a catheter before surgery through the vagina, but this is done after anesthesia
that may not be able to feel.
2. Stomach Feels as Drawn
People who undergo caesarean during labor
would actually feel numbness in the abdomen during surgery until several hours
later, so the patient will not feel pain at all.
But some people said that she felt a sensation
like push and pull in the abdomen that will subside after the baby removed from
her stomach.
3. Your Body May be Trembling
After undergoing caesarean, the patient will
usually feel the spine shaking that affects the whole body. But some people may
just feel the spasms and stiffness in the legs. This is normal and will subside
quickly after a few hours.
4. Feel Cold
There are so many patients who delivered by
Caesarean section complaining after he felt cold and tends to blame the
operating temperature is too cold in the operating room. But the temperature of
the operating room has been adjusted in such a way as to maintain sterility,
prevent the formation of moisture and combat bacterial colonization.
The cold may be due to anesthesia that made
waist down numb and also because the patient is lying half-naked for 30
minutes during the operation. This will immediately get better after the nurse
gave a warm blanket.
5. You Will Need a Stool Softener
Defecation can be a big problem after cesarean
section, because the patient will have difficulty pushing feces when stomach
conditions are still sore and the wound has not completely healed.
By taking stool softeners after childbirth
will ease the process of defecation postoperatively. Drink more water and light
exercise such as walking to maintain a reliable digestion.
6. Coughing and Sneezing Will Hurt Abdominal Scar
Coughing, sneezing or laughing will make a
surgical wound in the stomach ache. Take a pillow to support the belly, it can
help prevent pain due to activities such as laughing, coughing and sneezing.
The pillows can put pressure on the abdominal
muscles were cut when the operation and help fight the pain from muscle
contraction. The worst of the pain due to contraction of the abdominal muscles
will take up to a week after giving birth, but will gradually get better over
the next few weeks.
7. You Will Get a Tool Which Gives the Effect of Massage on the Feet
After surgery, the doctor will usually carry
tools called sequential compression devices (SCDs), which works to improve
blood circulation and prevent blood clots.
The doctor will put the device on the
patient's legs while sleeping, so you do not be surprised if you find a tool
like shoes that can give the effect of massage on the feet.
8. Keep Exercising
Moderate to heavy exercise will obviously make
the caesarean patient's condition became worse. Do exercise quite a leisurely
walk just to strengthen the spine and abdominal muscles.
9. There Will be Blood Coming Out from Vagina
Vaginal bleeding will still occur even after
lapse of several days after surgery. This is called postpartum bleeding that
can occur when the lining of the uterus to heal itself after the placenta
detached and blood vessels respond to the fall in hormone levels.
In addition, a thick layer that grows to
support the baby during pregnancy will decay by itself in the weeks after the
birth. Do not be too concerned about this because the bleeding is usually mild
and only last a maximum of about six weeks.
10. Leave a Scar
The incision surgical will certainly leave a
scar that will not just disappear. The wound will fade gradually over time, but
you can apply an ointment such as Mederma after the six weeks since the surgery
so that the wounds more quickly fading.
If you apply the ointment is faster than six
weeks, it will cause an infection.
