Patient's question:
My friend went through a lot of pain when she gave birth. When she reached her due date, she went to a nearby hospital. At first, her contractions weren't opening, and she needed to be given labor induction medication. She didn't choose a C-section and instead opted for a natural birth. Is it good for the baby to be born through natural birth?Doctor's answer:
The forceps delivery generally does not cause significant harm to the fetus, so you don't need to worry too much. It is recommended that she maintain a regular schedule during the postpartum period, avoid overexertion, pay attention to local hygiene, keep warm, avoid drafts, and temporarily refrain from sexual activity. Around 42 days, she should go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound. It is also advisable to increase her nutrition appropriately. If breastfeeding, she can consume more chicken soup, crucian carp soup, etc., which can help with milk production.
