In October, she became pregnant and gave birth to a child. Whenever the due date approaches, expectant mothers will inevitably feel nervous and overwhelmed, but this is not necessary.
The first thing to do is to recognize the signs of childbirth. Before the official delivery, pregnant women often experience some symptoms that indicate the imminent official delivery, such as irregular uterine contractions. These symptoms often appear at night and disappear during the day. Each interval can be long or short, and the duration should not exceed 30 seconds. You may feel soreness in the lower back and slight pain in the lower abdomen.
1-2 days before the official delivery, a small amount of bloody mucus will come out of the vagina, which is called redness. Some pregnant women may have their membranes ruptured and amniotic fluid leak out of the vagina before giving birth. At this time, pregnant women should rest in bed and go to the hospital immediately, especially in the breech position, to prevent umbilical cord prolapse.
Due to people\’s incorrect understanding of childbirth, there is a widespread fear of childbirth pain. Fear can cause tension, and tension can aggravate pain, directly affecting the process of childbirth and affecting the psychology of the mother. In fact, we can deal with it through the following techniques.
The first is to be accompanied by family members after delivery and guided by midwives to divert attention, talk about topics of interest to the mother, explain the delivery process, so that the mother can master delivery knowledge, effectively relieve delivery discomfort, and reduce postpartum discomfort. anxiety. Sensitive to uterine contractions.
The second is to adjust the frequency and rhythm of breathing. Breathing rate increases during exercise or mental stress. Actively adjusting the frequency and rhythm of breathing can relieve the stress caused by childbirth and enhance the mother\’s awareness of self-control. When the method of diverting attention cannot help the mother relieve the discomfort of childbirth, she can choose slow chest breathing and adjust the breathing rate to 1/2 of the normal breathing rate. As the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions increase, you can choose shallow breathing with a normal breathing frequency. 2 times of discomfort, choose panting breathing: 4 short, shallow breaths followed by 1 breath.
The third is to appropriately adopt some techniques that can make mothers relax. If family members or midwives touch the tense parts of the mother and guide the mother to relax, they will praise and encourage the mother repeatedly and explain the progress. Laughing gas can be used for analgesia if necessary. For mothers who have a certain ability to appreciate music, choose soothing music to relax.
When the cervix is fully expanded, the mother\’s pain is relieved and she feels the sensation of defecation. The staff will instruct the mother on the correct method of holding her breath and exerting force. At this time, the mother should adjust her physical and mental strength, actively cooperate, and use correct force to speed up the labor process. Otherwise, physical exertion will affect the labor process, prolong the labor process, and the fetus will be prone to intrauterine asphyxia and intracranial hemorrhage.
