he decision between vaginal birth and cesarean section (C-section) has always been a common dilemma for expectant mothers, especially for first-time mothers. To equip expectant mothers with the scientific knowledge needed for a healthy pregnancy stage and ensure a safe delivery, Thai Binh High-Quality General Hospital organized an Obstetrics Workshop on the topic: "Vaginal Birth or Cesarean Section - Why?"
The keynote speaker of the event was Specialist level 1 Tran Thi Thanh, MD., Deputy Head of the Obstetrics Department at Thai Binh Hospital. At the event, Dr. Thanh shared detailed information about the two childbirth methods (vaginal birth and C-section), providing expectant mothers with a comprehensive overview. This helped them choose the birth method most appropriate in terms of physical health for both the mother and the fetus."
According to obstetrics experts, vaginal delivery offers more benefits to both mother and baby compared to C-section. Therefore, doctors always encourage healthy pregnant women to have a vaginal delivery.
Just in cases where pregnant women have medical conditions that inhibit a vaginal birth, it is necessary to follow the advice of a specialist to ensure a healthy mother and baby. Regardless of the chosen birth method, mothers need to cooperate well with doctors during labor to ensure a smooth and safe delivery. Additionally, Dr. Thanh also emphasized the significance of newborn screening tests for babies.
Currently, newborn screening is considered the most efficient method for early abnormalities detection, allowing timely intervention to prevent complications and damage. Additionally, this test also increases survival rates, diminishes the impact of diseases, and helps prolong patient lifespan. Simultaneously, it helps to save healthcare costs by enabling early detection.
Not only did the workshop provide mothers with solid knowledge from Dr. Thanh, but it also served as a warm and intimate gathering where mothers could share their inner thoughts and hidden feelings through daily stories around their pregnancy journey. Notably, expectant mothers were able to directly ask questions and receive answers from the doctor. Hopefully, this valuable knowledge will empower mothers to feel more confident in caring for themselves and their babies.
In addition, when attending the workshop, mothers also had the opportunity to receive appealing gifts from the hospital, GENTIS and other brands. Coming to the program, GENTIS has brought valuable gifts to bring joy and meaningfulness to parents. These include adorable teddy bears and a 50% discount voucher for a newborn screening test covering 83 diseases, covering 5 center diseases (congenital hypothyroidism, G6PD deficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, phenylketonuria, galactosemia), Hemoglobinopathies, as well as 77 metabolic disorders.
GENTIS would like to express our sincere gratitude to High-Quality General Hospital of Thai Binh for allowing us to partake in this meaningful event. We hope that with the speaker’s sharing, mothers would be more confident in their journey to welcoming their babies, while also having a better understanding of the importance of newborn screening. We look forward to continued support from you.
