[Abstract] During the delivery process, the correct force of the pregnant woman is the correct cooperation with the doctor, which can also shorten the delivery time. Therefore, expectant mothers who are approaching their due date, come and learn with us how to use the wrong force during delivery and how to increase your physical strength during delivery.
Ways to increase strength during childbirth
In the first stage of labor, due to the relatively long time, the mother\’s sleep, rest, and diet will be affected by pain. In order to ensure that there is enough energy to complete the delivery, the mother should eat as much as possible. The food is mainly semi-liquid or soft food, such as egg noodles, pastries, bread, porridge, etc. When entering the second stage of labor, due to frequent contractions, pain intensifies and consumption increases. At this time, expectant mothers should try to eat some liquid food, such as juice, lotus root powder, brown sugar water, etc., between contractions to replenish their physical strength and help the fetus be delivered. Food during childbirth should choose high-sugar or starchy foods that can be digested and absorbed quickly to quickly replenish physical strength. It is not advisable to eat greasy, protein-rich foods that take too long to digest.
So, what are the wrong ways to push during labor?
3 wrong types of labor
Moaning or shouting loudly. Shouting loudly during childbirth not only fails to relieve the pain of uterine contractions, but may cause maternal hypoxia. Hyperventilation may lead to reduced blood circulation in the fetal brain, umbilical cord, uterus, and placenta, secondary alkalemia, etc., and may also consume too much. The physical strength may not be able to be used when really exerting force.
Hold your breath and push during the first stage of labor. If a pregnant mother holds her breath during the first stage of labor (i.e. when the cervix is dilated), her physical strength will be exhausted prematurely, resulting in her inability to exert force when she really needs to exert force. In the later stages of labor, holding her breath for too long can easily lead to respiratory acidosis.
When the fetal head is about to be delivered, still hold your breath and look down. This can cause the baby to be delivered too quickly, causing the mother\’s perineum to tear.
Pregnant women should bear in mind that improper exertion during delivery will affect the delivery process.
