The possible "inne-cesarean section" of Shakira and Piqué reopens the debate on how to be born

The way babies are born has been the subject of debate for a long time because for a few years the rate of caesarean sections increased too much, when the ideal for the baby and the mother is for the baby to be born in the most natural way possible. It is known by all that in private clinics the cesarean section rates are usually higher than in public centers and by all it is known that Many celebrities decide the day they will give birth to their baby, probably to avoid the last weeks of weight gain and tummy tuck.

When it has done well-known people, the noise generated in the media has not been much, however, when two years ago many women tried to have their son before December 31, 2010 to be able to collect the 2,500 euros of the baby check news and voices appeared everywhere advising against the measure because it was best to give birth to the baby when he was ready.

Well, today the debate reopens because Piqué left a message in his Instagram saying that “This Tuesday our first child will be born”, that is to say, that in principle today Shakira had time in the clinic to go to give birth, or rather, to be practiced an unnecessary caesarean section, more than likely.

From unnecessary caesarean section to “inne-cesarean section”

There have been so many women and so many professionals who have struggled to prevent caesarean section rates from increasing and moving in more logical numbers (in some countries they have reached up to 50%, which means that they consider a of every two women is not able to give birth), which the unnecessary caesarean section eventually came to be called, by way of abbreviation, "Inne-cesarean section".

A year ago, for example, a song called unnecessary Caesarean section was made in Puerto Rico that sought to bring the issue closer to the people, so that they could also fight for a more human attention in childbirth. At the same time, the Inne-cesarean information platform was created.

The reason for the debate and the reason for the information to run (and keep running) is that, as we have said, it is safer for the baby and for the mother that the birth is vaginal, because the caesarean section could be worse for the baby's brain development, for breastfeeding, for the baby's bacterial flora and also more dangerous for the mother, since, let's not forget, it is a major surgical intervention.

It is clear that caesarean section is an intervention that saves many lives and that in many births it is completely necessary. However, to do a C-section because yes, without being necessary, is to increase risks in the health of the mother and the baby.

Born early

On the other hand, if a caesarean section is necessary, it is different to do it when the delivery has already begun than when “I am doing well because that day I have a place in the agenda”. The day a woman starts having contractions, her baby is ready to leave, ready, ready to reach the world. The day marked on the agenda, however, It doesn't have to be the most suitable to be born. Some studies, in fact, have already suggested that being born just two weeks ahead of time may affect the development of babies.

As they say in obstetric terms when someone tries to play with the crystal ball: Not all apples fall at the same time. Hopefully women do not look much at the way of giving birth to Shakira, if in the end it is confirmed that it is an elective caesarean section, because the famous are role models by many people and the example, in this case, seems Not be the most suitable.
