Pregnancy and Delivery

Today, Dr Tan showed us a video on Pregnancy and Delivery. The video was about a woman going through her pregnancy. The video shows us different stages of the baby in the mother's womb. It also tells us that when the baby is about to be delivered, the head will be facing downwards towards the womb. However, there are some cases where the baby's head is not facing down. This is dangerous during delivery as the baby might die of suffocation in the mother's cervix. Also, the arms of the baby might also dislocate when delivering the baby. In most cases, the doctor will advise the mother to opt for cesarean section instead for the safety of the baby. After watching the video, i now know the hardship our mothers went through in giving birth to us. Dr Tan also shared his experience when his wife went through labour.
