This April, we are celebrating C-section awareness month. For this month, we aim to raise awareness and let people know more about what exactly a C-section procedure is.
We also want to celebrate moms who underwent a C-section.
Let's All Celebrate C-section Awareness Month!
One thing to know about C-sections is that while they are safe procedures, it's not always a good idea to opt for a C-section if there's an option for a natural birth.
That's because C-sections can have more complications, which can include blood clots, higher risk of infection, lasting pain, and a longer stay in the hospital.
The increasing trend towards C-sections is also pretty alarming since some moms are opting for a C-section even if a natural birth is possible.
Some moms are also scared of the pain that comes with a natural pregnancy, or they are worried that having a natural pregnancy would be more difficult for them.
However, this doesn't mean that C-sections are "bad" for moms. C-sections can be a lifesaving procedure, and in some cases are necessary to safely deliver the baby, especially if there are any complications during the pregnancy.
What Do Moms Need to Know?
Moms who underwent a C-section shouldn't feel inferior to moms who underwent a natural birth. Having a C-section doesn't make anyone less of a mother. Some people might belittle other moms for opting for a C-section, but at the end of the day, it's really up to the doctor, as well as the mother to choose what's the best option for their delivery.
C-section procedures are critical for babies born prematurely, or for moms who have a sensitive pregnancy. Some moms who have twins or triplets also require a C-section in order to safely deliver the babies.
Motherhood is a beautiful thing, and it doesn't really matter whether or not a mom gives birth through C-section or through a natural birth. The most important thing is a mother's love for her child, since that's really what motherhood is all about.
