Normal birth is advantageous for babies

Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Training and Research Hospital Pediatrics and Health Specialist Dr. Sıla Tarkan explained the advantages of normal birth for the baby.

Stating that normal birth is based on the natural physiological processes of the baby and mother, Pediatrics and Health Specialist Dr. Sıla Tarkan stated that the natural birth of the baby can strengthen a natural bonding and emotional connection. Tarkan; “Normal birth supports the baby's natural adaptation process. Babies born through the birth canal are exposed to compression and pressure during the birth process, helping their lungs to clear the fluid and regulate their respiratory system. Normal birth supports breastfeeding. Normal birth can facilitate breastfeeding by increasing skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby. The baby can cling to the mother immediately after birth and the breastfeeding connection can be strengthened. In addition, normal birth can also have benefits such as maturing the baby's lungs, strengthening the immune system and regulating the digestive system.”

“Normal birth is natural”

Stating that normal birth is a birth method based on the natural process of the baby and the mother, Specialist Doctor Sıla Tarkan pointed out that every pregnancy is different; “Every pregnancy is different and in some cases normal birth may not be possible. Before pregnancy, it is important to make birth planning with the doctor and get information about birth options. In all cases, it is important to be guided and followed up by healthcare professionals in order to manage the birth process in the safest and most appropriate way. We recommend normal birth whenever possible, because this is the natural method.”
