Many famous and wealthy women, probably because of the money that goes everywhere, they have the (doubtful) privilege of being able to give birth the day they choose, the day they are doing well, or the day they like it. We saw him when Shakira gave birth to his son Milan, on January 22, because on February 2, her and Gerard Piqué's birthday, and being that day late for the baby (he would arrive earlier), they chose to choose a day that was the combination of the two dates: two doses, that is, on the 22nd.
More recently, as much as three days ago, Pilar Rubio gave an interview to Divinity where he explained that he probably they will have to schedule the delivery for a day in which both her and her husband, footballer Sergio Ramos, do well.
The problem is not theirs, but who allows them to choose
When one is pregnant, no one asks what day the baby is going to have, but what day it counts. And everyone knows that the day that goes out of accounts, the probable date of delivery, it is unlikely that the baby is actually born. Nobody knows when she is going to give birth because nobody knows when the baby decides that it is time to leave. No one, except those whose professionals let them choose when to give birth.
If a woman goes to the hospital and says that she would do well to give birth on the 18th, they will tell her very well, to see if she is lucky and goes into labor that day. However, if you are famous or have money and your gynecologist allows it, then yes, "whenever you want"... "and if you later see that you are not doing well, call us and change the day", as if it were the time of the hairdresser.
Because of course, if they are told that it does not matter, that while the pregnancy is already considered full term it is indifferent to give birth that "they stop you", because they say like Pilar, who explained it like this:
Due to the jobs that Sergio and I have, which are not stable on schedule, and for the continuous trips, I think that in the end we will have to schedule the delivery for a specific day so that we can be together. I would not want to be without the father at that time. He will be born in Madrid because I am always here.
Why it is better for the child to be born when it is his turn
Why can't they choose? Why is it a dubious privilege? Well, they can, that's why they do it, they let them choose. Another thing is that it is good for the baby, or indifferent, that it is not. And although the weeks of gestation give a lot of information, the ideal is not that someone outside decides when a baby is ripe to be born, but Let it be the same baby who decides.
From week 37 it is said that a baby is already born at term, that it is no longer premature. However, this is explained when it is the baby who decides to be born from that week. A term is also a baby born in week 41, for example, and the difference is 4 weeks, which is practically a month: a lot of time apart. If it coincides that the baby was going to be born in week 39 and birth is scheduled for 38 there is not much change, really, but if the baby would have been born in 41, or maybe in 42, there are, it is being born too soon.
In 2010, a study that analyzed no less than 407,503 Scottish children of school age concluded that being born in weeks 37 to 39 doubles the risk of a child having learning problems. That is why they concluded that:
Scheduled births or caesarean sections should be done in week 40 because even a baby born in week 39 has a higher risk of having special educational needs than a baby born a week later.
But this is just the beginning. That study analyzed only children's learning problems based on when they were born. The reason for waiting at least until week 40 is for the general maturation of the baby: its organs, eyesight, hearing, etc. They have more time to gain a little more weight and be born with more strength, with less problems to feed, less problems to maintain body temperature, etc.
On the other hand, since it is an induced, induced, and not a birth that originates spontaneously, the risk of instrumentalization is higherWell, there are more interventions. When giving birth, synthetic oxytocin is administered, which produces stronger, more intense and painful contractions, being very few women who can opt for a delivery in the position they prefer, having to put on the epidural to withstand the pain.
Also, being an unnatural birth, being caused when the body was not yet to give birth, the risk of having to make use of suction cup and forceps is greater, as well as the risk of failure of these methods to end in caesarean section, which is also greater (and even because many babies do not withstand the contractions of synthetic oxytocin well and do bradycardia, which is when the pulse drops lower than recommended).
Therefore, The OMS It is clear about it when you remember that:
No geographic region should have an index of induced labor greater than 10%. Induction of labor should be limited to certain medical indications.
And that your husband is a footballer and there are days that he is playing away from home is not a medical indication, as it is not that the baby is born the day you like or that day I have the children in school and so we are all more quiet.
But hey, in the end, let each one do what he wants. I only explain it in case one day some famous or wealthy person who thinks that it is the same to give birth by herself or that they induce labor, she realizes that she is complicating without need a process that, already in itself, is sometimes complicated.
