Many women who tell about their experience of imperial surgery emphasize the disappointment that no one has prepared them for this scenario. A significant proportion of them gave birth in emergency surgery, ie a birth that began as a normal child and during which time they had to go to the operating room and give birth to the baby or infant in cesarean. These women actually had no opportunity to prepare and prepare for what was going to happen, even at the necessary level of knowledge.

As the mother of three children born in Caesarean section, and as the director of the Caesar-born Maternity Support and Information Community, I have repeatedly asked myself over the years - how can you prepare for Caesari and not be surprised? Good preparation, even brief and concise, can make the difference between a traumatic experience that affects recovery, and a good experience and a sense of being able to be a woman and a mother.

Everything you need to know about cesarean

Do not skip the Imperial chapter in the pregnancy book

In preparation for childbirth, the guiding principle is that you cannot prepare for a scenario that you do not perceive as an option. Know the phrase "It won't happen to me"? This is a phrase most women have told themselves before giving birth - even those who eventually gave birth to Empress. A considerable amount of births are in cesarean section (planned or emergency), so it is strange and interesting that most women do not even consider this option. It may be because of the belief that "thought produces reality" - that is, if I read the chapter on Caesarean section in the pregnancy book, or read an article online about it - then it would "complicate" my normal birth and finally really give birth to Caesarean.

Here is the place to say that early thinking about common scenarios is critical in the preparation process for childbirth. This is why most birth preparation courses incorporate information about vacuum birth, buffer incision, and sometimes cesarean section. This information, even if it is small and basic, can in the moment of truth give you a sense of security that you will not be surprised but aware of and take into account this possibility.

Anyone who wants to take this advice one step further, will grow and learn more about the topic: online, in books or in an individual preparation session, with a professional who is accompanied by cesarean. Information about the details of the imperial birth and its choices can give you a feeling of control on the day of birth.

Re-thinking thoughts

One of the challenging things about Empress is that the familiarity with the procedure is really minimal, to the point of not being there at all. Most of us were in a birth preparation course and maybe even did a delivery room tour, but we never saw an operating room or recovery room, and no one explained to us how they would get us there, what would happen first and what later, how long the operation would take, who would be with us in the room, and why Actually, so many people need it.

What happens to us when we come to such an unfamiliar situation is actually a disorientation experience. The feeling is similar to what one feels when they arrive at an unfamiliar place, without a map, without Wise, and without knowing the way, that is - completely lost.

To bring in another sense of orientation within the surgical birth experience, you need information, and some figure from within or outside the medical system to help mediate this information. Typically, midwives midwives take it upon themselves to tell the baby and her family what is going to happen, even if it is only in general lines - and that can really change the experience of giving birth from end to end.

Who will be there next to you

In light of all that has been said so far, it is of great importance to choose the people who will be with you at birth, and help you deal with any scenario that may happen in it. Most women end up giving birth with their partner beside them. In addition, some are accompanied by an artist or their mother-in-law, a good friend or professional birth supporter, Dola.

When choosing who to put in your birth, also look at how that person can also support you in situations where the delivery plan dissolves, and instead of the natural birth you hoped for, medical interventions (epidermal delivery, amniotic fluid, epidural analgesia, monitoring) Continuous suspicion of fetal distress during childbirth is by no means uncommon, and, combined with severe pain over long hours (and sometimes days), can bring about a far-reaching change in delivery plans. It is important that the people at your disposal know that such situations may be and therefore are likely to be Supporters and certainly not stressful.

Expectation vs. Reality

One of the things that many women understand in the aftermath of the Emperor Birth Experience Processing sessions is how big their soulfulness was. These are women who have prepared themselves for birth in a profound and thorough manner. Smart women who have not only studied and explored the course of birth and their options in the medical setting, but also worked on their emotional abilities, strengthened their inner strengths, learned how to focus internally at times of stress, practiced yoga or hypnobirthing, opted for the best support from an experienced doula. This, for an inexplicable reason, their birth did not develop as expected. And as the size of the expectation, so is the size of the disappointment: How could I have done everything I could and yet I couldn't?

There is a tendency to speak of imperial surgery as a failure to give birth in the natural way. Maternity describes it as their own failure, the failure of the system, the medical staff, or all of them together. The environment that pushes for natural births, telling us that our bodies can give birth and that we will receive an honorary degree if we are only born without an epidural - supports this and reinforces the attitude that says we failed, that we probably did something wrong, made a wrong choice somewhere along the way, or simply didn't do our best to give birth. .

But Caesar is not a failure. It is a safe way to give birth in situations where the natural way becomes complicated and seems less safe at that moment. That's all it is. And I'm not underestimating the desire to give birth vaginally, and certainly not reducing the desire to avoid the operating room - I'm just saying - let's prepare ourselves for the fact that some births are imperial, let's consider this possibility as we prepare for childbirth, and allow ourselves to get more prepared for this scenario as well . This will open up the option to feel better than the birth itself and the preparation is more appropriate for the subsequent stages.

Useful tips - all the help you can

If a vaginal birth is most of the pain experienced by the woman during the contractions and during the stress, then the difficulty of the emperor concentrates on the post-partum stages. Because many women do not prepare for cesarean delivery at all, it is more difficult for them to cope with the pain and challenges of the healing period and early days of parenting.

The pains after cesarean section are mainly concentrated in the abdominal area. Women after Caesar suddenly discover that there is almost no action in life that does not involve the abdomen: from lying down to sitting down, through sneezing, laughing, dressing, locking shoes (worth packing finger flip-flops), dropping urine, walking, lifting the baby - and into deep breathing, turning to bed And basically every action. This means that in the first few days the pain in the sectional surgery is constantly present - and this affects our motility, response speed, and above all - the ability to take care of the baby and enjoy it.

In the post-surgery condition, you will need all the help you can get. Experience shows that in order to raise most of the possible help reserves - it is worth preparing: the sooner you inform your mother-in-law that you are asking her to get the big boy out of kindergarten while you are hospitalized - the greater the chance of getting her help. The same is true for help from friends, babysitters, relatives and of course paid help such as housekeeping, postpartum doula (postpartum) and more.

And what about the postoperative scar?

Imperial surgery has different implications for your future, your next births and your emotional experience. One of the more talked about consequences is the scar that will probably stay with you forever. While this sounds like a pretty obliging and burdensome relationship, many women report that the scar is almost noticeable, and after a few weeks or a maximum of months - they think of her only when they are in the shower, and even then, she doesn't particularly bother them. The imperial scar is usually located below the bottom line, so even if you go to sea in a bikini, it is not visible.

On the other hand, there are women for whom the scar signifies a physical defect, and they feel injured or even mutilated. Often there is a connection between the emotional experience of childbirth and the sensations attributed to the scar itself. What you should know is that the scar can be treated and prevent its abnormal development. When leaving the hospital, most of the time, it is only necessary to wash the place several times a day with soap and water. You should know that in the market there are various products that speed up the scar recovery and improve its visibility. These products are recommended for use after removing the seams and when the place is closed and dry. There are natural products, medical silicone products and more. The products come in a variety of forms of administration, where the most convenient form of prevention and treatment of scar after cesarean is a spray for spraying, such as Cleo Cot spray, which does not require hand contact and is therefore particularly suitable for the treatment and prevention of painful scar.
