CAESAREAN SECTION – PROCESS OF CHILDBIRTH

For some babies, the process of normal childbirth presents a great hazard, with the risk of death or severe brain damage. Our grandparents knew and accepted this. Today, you and I are just not prepared for our babies to run these risks.

Generations of medical students have been taught that, in labor and childbirth, they need to consider the three Ps — the passage, the passenger and the power (which pushes the baby through the passage).

Delayed delivery which might lead to foetal or maternal distress could usually be assisted by means of forceps and the skill of the obstetrician usually lay in his ability to manage difficult births and extract the baby with forceps.

Now the pressure is on the doctor not to risk the baby with a difficult forceps delivery but to go straight to a caesarean section.

This operation carries with it a small risk to the mother, but modern anaesthetics, improved surgical techniques and the availability of blood from the blood bank make this risk very small.
