For natural labor, Many pregnant mothers are a little scared, For example, a nurse sister beside me is 39 weeks pregnant. At ordinary times busy mobile phone brush a treasure to buy baby products, she suddenly began to look for me to obstetrics and gynecology teaching materials, the situation is a little abnormal. Carefully asked, the original approach to the expected date of delivery of her natural childbirth did not understand, natural childbirth has a kind of inexplicable fear, always feel to be painful to death. If unlucky, the pain to half can’t come out and then to cesarean section, is it not white pain? Always ask me, can I have cesarean section directly?
In fact, there are quite a few pregnant mothers like our nurse sister, The cognition of giving birth to babies is seen on TV or on the news except for the introduction of friends around me. I feel that those babies in TV series are in great pain, but the news often sees people giving birth to babies when they go to the toilet… how painful is it to give birth? How long will it take?
In fact, fear mainly comes from not understanding. If you understand what is going on in natural labor, you may not be so worried and afraid.
How painful is natural labor?
All pains can be graded. According to grades 1 to 10, grade 10 is the most painful, and the pain of natural labor should be at the highest level.
How do you describe this kind of pain?
Some mothers who gave birth naturally described it this way: like many steel clamps with serrations, the abdomen is thickly clamped, especially after oxytocin is used, the pain has no intermission period and even no time to rest and catch my breath.
There have been studies that make men feel the pain of childbirth. When the pain level reaches level 7, most strong-willed men can no longer bear it.
However, you don’t have to shiver if you are afraid of pain. Labor pain also has different influencing factors. In some cases, it does hurt a little. For example, occipital posterior position and macrosomia will increase labor difficulties and cause severe pain. In addition, excessive anxiety, nervousness and fear can also amplify the feeling of pain. In addition, everyone feels different degrees of pain. Some pregnant mothers may feel the pain is dying, while others feel that it is tolerable.
Therefore, carefully controlling the weight during pregnancy, preventing macrosomia and relaxing your mood can help you reduce the probability of severe pain.
Generally speaking, natural labor does hurt, but don’t forget, you can use the natural labor kit-painless labor, which can greatly relieve the pain during natural labor.
Give birth to the child after going to the toilet?
You may have seen this kind of bridge, pregnant mother stomachache, thought it was to go to the toilet, but soon after entering the toilet, she carried a child out. Is this really the case in real life?
Yes, it is called urgent labor in medicine. The situation is similar, but it certainly cannot be born by going to the toilet.
From the beginning of regular labor pains to the end of childbirth, generally not less than 3 hours, less than this time is called urgent labor. This is not a good thing, urgent labor will bring harm to the mother and the child, such as pregnant mother birth canal tear, postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage, etc., is very dangerous.
Under normal circumstances, the parturient needs to go through three stages of labor.
The first stage of labor is cervical dilatation, from regular uterine contraction to full opening of uterine orifice. The pregnant mother of the first child is slower, less than 22 hours, mostly 11-22 hours; Pregnant mothers with a second child or more are faster, not more than 16 hours, mostly 6-16 hours.
The second stage of labor is the delivery period of the fetus, which refers to the period from the opening of the uterus to the delivery of the fetus. It takes about 40 minutes to 3 hours for the first pregnant mother. Pregnant mothers with a second child or more may take a few minutes as fast as possible and 2 hours as slow as possible.
The third stage of labor is the placental delivery period, from the delivery of the fetus to the delivery of the placenta, which takes about 5-15 minutes and not more than 30 minutes.
Do you understand now?
Natural labor is really painful, but there are ways to relieve it. Natural labor will not be so fast, and it will not take time to go to the toilet.
As for the nurse’s sister’s most worrying problem mentioned at the beginning, is it advisable to choose Caesarean section in order to avoid the pain of natural labor?
Why is it recommended to give birth smoothly?
There is no doubt that natural childbirth is the preferred method recommended by all obstetricians, because there are many benefits.
For mothers, natural childbirth is less harmful, postpartum recovery is faster, and postpartum milk secretion is earlier than cesarean section.
For babies, natural labor is squeezed by the birth canal, amniotic fluid and mucus in the respiratory tract are squeezed out of the body, and the occurrence probability of respiratory diseases after birth is low. Some studies have shown that the rotation of the fetus during delivery can promote the development of the nervous system, brain and vestibular intrauterine, which is beneficial to future intelligence and exercise.
From the economic point of view, natural delivery is also lower than cesarean section cost, less hospitalization time, and there is no trouble of scar and operation risk after cesarean section.
Many pregnant mothers choose cesarean section because they are afraid of pain, which is wrong. Although it sounds that cesarean section will be anesthetized during childbirth and the baby will be born when lying down, the time of postoperative pain is much more than that of natural childbirth:
Pain caused by pressing the uterine floor after operation (to understand the uterine contraction, Excretion of accumulated blood), Get out of bed action wound pain, go home after the wound or pain. In addition to pain, cesarean section wound more, from inside to outside to sew several layers, recovery time is much slower than natural labor. Usually out of bed, defecation and urination of daily activities is obviously natural labor mother has more advantages, almost not affected, while cesarean section mother to hold the stomach slowly move.
If the pregnant mother and the baby check everything is normal, for the sake of their own health and the baby’s health, it is still recommended to give birth as smoothly as possible, which is also a kind of responsibility to the baby.
Of course, natural labor has many benefits, But not all pregnant mothers are forced to give birth smoothly, If the physical condition is not suitable for normal delivery, For the sake of his own health and that of his baby, Doctors will suggest the implementation of cesarean section. If in the process of natural delivery, the following situations occur, doctors will also act immediately to implement cesarean section, for example, the fetus has intrauterine hypoxia, fetus is too large, fetal position is abnormal, labor progress stagnation, mother and fetus sudden serious complications, etc. At this time cesarean section is to ensure the safety of mother and baby, save lives.
The natural labor did not come down smoothly, and finally the cesarean section was turned to. Don’t be afraid. The natural labor process is good for the newborn and the mother in most cases. This is not a two-stubble of suffering.
Although there are many prenatal examination methods now, it is impossible to predict whether they can give birth smoothly. Because in the progress of labor, mothers and babies may have unexpected situations at any time. What and what are all unknown. In case of emergency, obeying the doctor’s arrangement is the best mode of production.
