Conceiving for the first time is usually a touching moment for a women. But as the time of delivery nears, she begins to get a cold feet. Engulfed by fears of pains, the images of horrific deliveries that are so dramatically shown in both Bollywood and Hollywood movies flash through her mind. As a result, she opts for a Caesarian delivery, a painless and now increasingly popular method of delivering a baby. This method is becoming common amongst well-to-do families and celebrity moms, hence the term “too posh to push”:)

Following are some of the reasons why a Caesarian section is becoming the ultimate choice for delivering a baby:

  • Media has a great impact on the minds of viewers. This creates a distorted image on the minds of pregnant women and they go for caesarian deliveries to avoid all that pains which you have to face in normal delivery.
  • Previous painful experience of the mother of the expecting woman or the woman herself, if she is having a second child, also plays a major role in opting for a caesarian delivery.
  • Lack of emotional support from her family during the labor pains, especially in Pakistan.
  • Time management for working women, as they can manage time according to their delivery date or adjust their date if they have any problems taking a long leave.
  • Now a days many doctors give women a choice whether they want to have a caesarian delivery or the normal one.
  • Breech position
  • Failure to progress in labor

Hazards of Caesarian Delivery

  • In caesarian delivery, whether it is done through spinal anesthesia or the ordinary type, pain comes afterwards and stays for a longer period of time
  • The risk of wound infection is greater in this kind of delivery.
  • Caesarian delivery leaves a scar on the lower abdomen.
  • The muscles tend to become loose and take a longer time to come back into their normal position. If proper exercise are not done, they might never again regain their original shape.
  • In most women going for spinal anesthesia, spinal headaches are reported when the effect wears off.
  • The involution of organs take a longer time after caesarian delivery.
  • It takes a longer time for the woman to regain her normal day-to-day activities as she cannot bend or pick up heavy things at least six months. If proper care is not taken, there are chances of developing a hernia.

    I always wonder about stuff like this in the gym.. I have great form and I always pay extreme attention to all the exercises to make sure that (to the best of my knowledge) i am doing them to get the best effects.. im always scared though that if i drop my weight a bit that i wont be able to eventually get my weight higher and or get bigger (since my body wont think the weight is to much and not seeing a need to grow??)
