Patient's question:
Pregnant 38 weeksDoctor's answer:
During normal delivery, although the baby's head may be compressed, even deformed, it can return to normal within a day or two. At the same time the baby is compressed, it also stimulates the brain's blood circulation, providing a stronger material foundation for the brain's respiratory center, making it easier to trigger breathing and crying after birth. Additionally, as the baby's head passes through the contractions of the uterus and the resistance of the pelvic floor, it can expel amniotic fluid and mucus accumulated in the baby's lungs, as well as in the nose and mouth, which helps prevent the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia. These are advantages that cesarean delivery cannot match.
