Natural Childbirth And Breastfeeding After Birth

Decent Essays
If I were pregnant, I would like to give natural childbirth. Even though it would be more painful than having a cesarean delivery, I still want to give birth this way, because it has many benefits for the mother and the baby. For instance, we will have a quicker recovery time and can take care the baby immediately after birth. Furthermore, natural childbirth process will stimulate the mother's body to lactate early, so that the baby will soon be able to enjoy colostrum. Based on what I know, the baby breastfeeds after the first hours will not have hypoglycemia, which is conducive to the growth and development of the child. With the ease of breastfeeding after birth will help to connect motherhood baby sooner than the mother cesarean section.
