Cesarean Costs and Tips for Obtaining Funds

Having a baby is certainly a dream for most couples. No doubt, many people are willing to do anything to have children. Without exception meet balanced nutrition and other needs needed by pregnant women.

One of the most crucial needs for pregnant women is the cost of childbirth. Childbirth itself is divided into 2: normal delivery and cesarean section.

Sobat BFI, do you know what a cesarean section is?

In this article, we will discuss a complete cesarean section with various aspects that we need to know, including the estimated cost of the operation required.

 

What is A Caesarean Section?

Cesarean section is a medical procedure performed to remove the baby by dissecting the abdomen and uterus through an incision. The incision made is generally transverse parallel to the line below the waist.

Conditions Requiring Caesarean

The majority of pregnant women must have the same expectations; have a normal delivery. Even so, there is nothing wrong if we prepare a backup plan. One of them is preparing for a cesarean section.

The reason is, that this one medical action is very possible in the middle of a normal delivery process.

To find out what conditions require a cesarean section, see the description below.

Undeveloped opening

One indication of the need for medical action in the form of a cesarean section is the presence of contractions that occur for more than 18 hours. This needs to be acted on because the prolonged contraction period can endanger the safety of the baby to be born and the mother.

The condition of the fetus is worrying

Incorrect fetal position

The position of the fetus is breech or transverse, where the position of the feet is located down. Of course, this is very dangerous for the baby's life if forced to give birth normally.

Pregnant with twins

Not all twins are required to have a cesarean section. Unless one of the fetuses is experiencing certain things, for example, they are in an inappropriate position.

The birth canal is closed

The placenta is at the bottom, there are myomas or hip fractures. This condition requires medical action in the form of a cesarean section because otherwise, you will experience heavy bleeding.

Umbilical cord complications

The existence of complications in the umbilical cord can inhibit oxygen from flowing to the fetus, if not treated immediately, then most likely the fetus can not be saved.

Maternal health condition is not ideal

The health of pregnant women is very influential on the smooth delivery process. If the pregnant woman has certain diseases and the doctor recommends feeding, a cesarean section will likely be selected.

Have you ever had a Caesarean?

Pregnant women who have previously had a cesarean section are more likely to undergo a cesarean section again. Even so, there is a possibility that the mother can give birth normally. Depends on the decision given by the doctor.

Risks of Caesarean Delivery

Infection

Cesarean section is performed by making an incision in the uterus and abdomen. If we don't take good care of it, it is very likely that the existing incision will be exposed to bacteria that are at risk of infection.

Infections that commonly occur are pain at the surgical site, redness, swelling, pus, fever, and even heavy bleeding. If this happens immediately consult an expert.

Bleeding

Existing surgical scars can be at risk of bleeding. This is quite worrying because the existing bleeding can have an impact on blood deficiency so it requires blood transfusions that are not small.

Blood clotting

Characteristics that there is redness on the skin of the feet, feet feel pain, and warm. This happens because blood clots eventually block the veins.

Side Effects of Anesthesia

Anesthesia given before surgery gives various effects such as numbness and dizziness. The effects will wear off within a few days after giving birth.

Injury

The price range required for ultrasound fees depends on the type of ultrasound and the hospital concerned.
