If you're pregnant, this is the most important article for you because it could be the reason your life is saved. Yes, you read that right—saved your precious life.

When you're scheduling your delivery with your gynecologist, you need to understand a few points before saying you want a C-section because of the pain of natural childbirth.

1. You can have 30 natural births, but it's very difficult to have 5 C-sections.

2. If this is your first birth and you have a C-section, the likelihood of your subsequent births also being C-sections is very high.

3. You can go home two hours after a natural birth without pain, but if you have a C-section, you'll have to wait at least 12 hours in the hospital, and you'll experience continuous pain from the incision until it closes and heals completely. 4. After a vaginal birth, you can resume your normal life, move around easily, and do whatever you want. However, after a cesarean section, you will have an incision in your abdomen and need more rest compared to a vaginal birth. You might not be able to bend your stomach for a week, and the cesarean incision can become infected if you shower and contaminated water comes into contact with it.

5. Babies born via cesarean section are more likely to require neonatal intensive care than babies born vaginally.

6. A problem can occur during a cesarean section that is beyond the doctor's control, requiring a hysterectomy. This happens in approximately one in 100 cases.

7. You might experience a problem during a cesarean section and be transferred from the operating room to the intensive care unit (ICU). This also happens in approximately one in 100 cases.

8. After leaving the operating room, you may need to be readmitted due to internal bleeding or retained placental tissue in the uterus. 9. You could develop a blood clot in your leg or a pulmonary embolism, which could lead to death after a C-section. This is rare, but it can happen.

10. Severe adhesions could develop after a C-section, leading to bladder or bowel rupture during a subsequent C-section, requiring the insertion of tubes in your abdomen. This is also rare, but it can happen.

11. Your uterus could rupture in a subsequent pregnancy. This is also rare, but it can happen.

12. You could develop placenta previa or placenta accreta, causing bleeding throughout your pregnancy and threatening your life if you don't receive immediate medical attention at a large hospital with a large blood bank. You might need around 30 units of blood in some cases, and sometimes even more. This is rare, but it can happen. If your doctor sees a problem that necessitates a C-section, they will inform you, and you will have a C-section because a vaginal birth won't be possible in your case. However, if your condition is good and there are no contraindications to vaginal birth, and you insist on a C-section, then you are putting yourself at risk. You must understand all the potential problems mentioned above regarding C-sections and not blame the doctor if they occur.

We repeat again: do not blame the doctor if they occur.
