There are two well-defined types of deliveries: normal and cesarean. In normal childbirth, birth occurs naturally, even though sometimes medication is needed to speed up the process. Already in childbirth through surgery, the cesarean section, the baby is removed from the mother's womb through an incision in the abdomen and uterus.
But recently, a new type of childbirth, which unites two concepts of childbirth, has caused controversy and helped many people: the natural cesarean. Instead of the doctor making a cut in the womb and removing the baby, he only makes the cut and wait for the baby to come out alone.
But how so?
The child ends up making the movements alone to finish the exit of the uterus, leaving it to follow the natural course of birth.
This technique won social networks with the popularization of a video. An English pregnant woman had her natural cesarean delivery filmed by her friend Sophie Messager, who is a doula, and who soon after posted it on Facebook.
To date, the post has more than 2 million views, as well as thousands of likes and comments, for and against.
The images show the baby crawling out of the mother's womb, with the medical staff barely helping him. As soon as the child manages to get out of the womb, the doctors take him into the mother's arms.
The delivery followed the requests of the pregnant woman: low lights, music in the background, no curtains blocking her view, the guarantee that the baby's umbilical cord would only be cut after it stopped pulsating and, of course, the natural cesarean section.
The scene may be a little shocking, but it shows that there is another birthing option for those mothers who cannot or cannot reach the stage of normal childbirth.
What do you think of this new idea?
