An obstetrician-gynecologist criticized the lotus birth of singer Sati Kazanova

Sati Kazanova gave birth to a son in October 2022.

The singer decided to give birth in water at home, and the baby was born in a lotus birth, that is, the umbilical cord was not cut off, and the placenta came out on its own.

An obstetrician-gynecologist spoke about the dangers of such a birth.

According to the doctor, delayed clamping of the umbilical cord increases the risk of developing jaundice in a newborn, which can lead to kernicterus - damage to the central nervous system. In addition, there is a risk that the remnants of the umbilical cord can become infected and cause inflammation.

The placenta is an organ that provides oxygen and nutrients to the fetus during pregnancy. After childbirth, the placenta is usually removed from the uterus within a few hours.

The doctor noted that lotus birth is a trendy trend among some celebrities, but it is important to remember that it is not safe for the health of the mother and baby.

Lotus birth is a type of childbirth in which the umbilical cord is not cut after the baby is born. Instead, the cord is left attached to the placenta, which is then expelled from the mother's body within a few days.

There are some potential risks associated with lotus birth, including:

• Increased risk of infection
• Jaundice
• Kernicterus

It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of lotus birth with your healthcare provider before making a decision about whether or not to have one.
