Although sometimes we only talk about two types of childbirth, it is true that there are more and, today, many more options when giving birth. For this reason, we are left with the most common and that you should know well in depth, so that when the time comes you can choose if not any other alteration or complication that says otherwise.
Surely in your controls during pregnancy your gynecologist or gynecologist have asked you about what type of delivery you would like to have. Of course, there is a long way from saying to doing, but even so, the best of all is be well informed about the options and features available to you. We will tell you!
Natural birth
It is one of the best-known types of childbirth, although in this case we are talking about natural childbirth when the moment follows the course of the process. That is, in this delivery anesthesia or oxytocin is not usually used, for example. So in this way, the happy moment focuses on the mother, on her comfort, as far as possible, and on her applying the breaths as well as her controlling the different moments of her body until she sees the your baby's face. So we can say that in this delivery all times are followed and maintained, none of them will be altered. Although it is true that the professional will be with you in case at some point it is necessary to intervene in some way. The entire process focuses on the mother but also on the couple who can be by her side minute by minute.
Vaginal delivery
It is true that the previous one is also a vaginal birth, but both have some other difference and that is why it is also its name. In this way we distinguish it from the previous option because in this case we do opt for local anesthesia or also known as epidural, as well as an episiotomy when necessary. Although some of the most important phases of childbirth also require a little patience, in this case more techniques and medications are used than in the so-called natural childbirth. In this case, the mother will not be the protagonist when making decisions because she will only follow the instructions of the professionals.
Cesarean birth
In this case, it is necessary to perform a surgical intervention that results in an incision in the abdomen to be able to remove the baby. In some cases it can be scheduled but in others, urgently. Whenever there is some type of impediment for a vaginal delivery, this technique is used. Sometimes It may be due to bad positions of the baby or to other similar previous surgeries in the mother.. While the urgent ones are carried out when the health of the baby or the mother may be compromised, perhaps due to placental abruption, problems with the umbilical cord, etc. Nor can we fail to mention another type of cesarean section that can be done when the delivery process has begun. This is due to the fact that the dilation does not progress or various complications, but you should not fear because they will know how to perform it on time and successfully.
water birth
It is true that when we mention the processes of childbirth, in addition to the types, the previous three are the basic ones. But older we can also get carried away by other options like this. It cannot always be carried out, that is why it is important that you consult it beforehand. But if it is your final decision, then you have to know that it is done in a wide area, filled with hot water. It is true that there is no anesthesia but the contact with the water and also the heat of it makes the pain somewhat more bearable.. Your partner can also participate at all times.
Leboyer childbirth
It is another type of childbirth that is referred to as 'non-violent'. Since a relaxed environment is maintained at all times, with little light and silence to find a moment with less stress at the time of the baby's arrival. Once it has come out, it is placed on the mother but on the part of the belly, as a general rule. What kind of birth would you like?
