An expectant father\’s guide to action during childbirth

When to go to the hospital to give birth

New mothers: If labor pain occurs every 5 to 10 minutes and lasts for an hour, you should go to the hospital immediately. The interval between labor pains is longer than this, but if the pain is unbearable, you must go to the hospital immediately. If you see redness, labor is usually due in a few days, but if your water breaks, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Women who have given birth: Women who have given birth before and have regular labor pains should go to the hospital immediately. If you see red, go to the hospital immediately. Unlike first-time mothers, in most cases, once multipara women see redness, even if there is no labor pain or the labor pain is very weak, it means that the cervix has been dilated.

Regular labor pains or water breaking are signs of labor. Labor pain in primiparous women generally lasts 820 hours, and labor pain in multiparous women generally lasts 310 hours. There is no need to rush, contact your parents or relatives, tell them that labor has begun, and then go to the hospital with your wife. As a husband, you should not panic or be overly excited. You should be calm and calm, and try not to add unnecessary tension and anxiety to your wife.

Amniotic water broke

Water rupture means that before the onset of labor pain, the amniotic membrane surrounding the fetus ruptures and the amniotic fluid inside leaks out. This is a natural phenomenon that occurs during childbirth. Once the water breaks, you should go to the hospital immediately, but it should be noted that if the water breaks for more than 2 days and there is no sign of labor, the possibility of infection is relatively high.

when labor pains begin

If your wife has labor pains, you should carefully calculate the time between labor pains. If it happens every 5 minutes, you should go to the hospital immediately.

Giving birth with my wife in the delivery room

Just being with my wife is enough. So, try not to make your mother unhappy by saying too many useless words. What a husband should do is wipe his wife\’s sweat from time to time or hold her hand tightly.

(Editor\’s note: This situation only applies to situations where the husband can enter the delivery room to accompany the baby.)

Waiting outside the door of the delivery room during delivery

Tell your wife when she enters the delivery room that you will go through the entire process with her. A husband\’s \”Come on\” will bring great strength and courage to his wife. Or hold her hand tightly while you say these words, or gently stroke her head. Also, tell your wife how much she and your kids mean to you.

after childbirth

You should say to your wife: \”Wife, you have worked hard!\” Many husbands will be immersed in the joy of the birth of a child and forget to send such words of comfort to their wives. So at this time, don’t forget to say words full of true love such as “Thank you” and “You have suffered”.
