Childbirth is not only a biological event but also a sociological event. Men\’s participation in childbirth activities can not only provide mothers with strong psychological support, but also deepen their understanding of the meaning of life. It will become fashionable in the future for husbands to enter the delivery room, cut the umbilical cord, and chat with the mother. Next, let’s talk about what expectant fathers should and shouldn’t do in the delivery room.
Father-to-be, please don’t do these things that hurt others.
1. When you see a doctor to check the size of a woman’s cervix, it’s best not to joke. Especially when the doctor is preparing for an examination, don\’t let your wife take a deep breath.
2. You may have heard that a husband in the delivery room can hold his wife\’s hand tightly and say encouraging words in her ear. This may happen, but in reality the doctor responds to this behavior by issuing an immediate command to the husband: \”Master, please step aside and sit in that chair over there.\”
3. Since the hearing and smell of pregnant women are much more sensitive than usual during delivery, whether it is the sound of opening the door or the sound of your mouth, it will have an impact on the mother. Therefore, don\’t make too much noise while sitting.
4. Also, don’t turn on the camera when your wife is in labor. You can film the process after it starts, but after the baby comes out, you have to resist the idea of watching the video playback, because the doctor will ask you to cut the baby\’s umbilical cord yourself, so if you tell the doctor to wait, I think the doctor will have a hard time accepting it. See if the camera works.
5. Finally, don’t think you’re the funniest person in the world and try to tell jokes or make fun of your child’s physiology. For example, BB is born with yellow skin and needs to be sent to the lactation room immediately to receive anti-yellowing treatment. You also joked with your wife, \”Our baby should be called Xiao Huang\” or something like that.
Expectant fathers are the best supporting actors in the delivery room. In the UK, 97% of pregnant women hope that their husbands can hold their hands when they give birth. The two shared the hardship and pain of the birth process and listened to the baby\’s first cry together. Share the endless joy when your baby comes into this world.
In our country, expectant fathers have also begun to be encouraged to enter the delivery room. Many people think that when the father enters the delivery room, he can give his wife more love. But in fact, not all expectant fathers have the courage to walk into the delivery room. When they see blood, they may faint. They may have even more unbearable pain than a beloved wife in labor. They also worry about going through it together. The birth process can affect your sex life later.
Especially when it comes to women, sometimes men are not what women imagine, but women still hope to make their husbands the \”best supporting role\” in the delivery room through training.
1. Attend prenatal education classes together
It is very important for expectant fathers to attend prenatal education classes, which can allow expectant fathers to understand the birth process and everything that will happen during the birth process. By this day, he panicked and even ran away.
At the same time, when they understand the whole process of childbirth, they can consciously think about what they can do to help their wives reduce pain to the greatest extent and make the childbirth go smoothly.
Finally, let the expectant fathers understand what kind of fears they have, and even express those fears, so that they can enter the role calmly and calmly at the most critical moment.
2. “Food and grass” come first
It\’s important to have plenty of water, snacks or her favorite treat, preferably chocolate, ready to give her energy when she needs it.
During the delivery process, the mother was physically exhausted and sweating profusely. Although she has no appetite, she needs to drink water. For expectant mothers who have a long labor process, expectant fathers sometimes need to forcefully eat to ensure that they are full of energy at critical moments.
3. Three \”magic tricks\” to relieve the pain of pregnant women. The first trick: all good words
Consistently encourage your wife to do her best, show confidence in her fertility, let her know she is bringing new life, a new beginning, and express her true love and gratitude over and over again.
The second trick: massage
During the entire delivery process, different parts of the mother\’s body need to be massaged to relieve pain, such as back massage, waist massage, both sides of the abdomen, etc.
Tip 3: Create a relaxing atmosphere
In order to encourage her to persevere, during labor pains, you can imagine with her what the baby is about to be born like, how to raise it in the future, and tease the baby to look like the other person. Shortcomings, describing the wonderful life in the future…, and recalling the relationship between the two in the past. All in all, the expectant father must try his best to create a relaxed atmosphere at this time to help his wife reduce her pain and allow the birth to proceed smoothly.
4. Don’t complain or blame at all
During the delivery process, mothers may engage in extreme or abnormal behaviors such as crying and screaming, and expectant fathers in the delivery room are often the targets of attacks.
At this time, the father-to-be must not show a reproachful expression. Men need to understand and tolerate some abnormal physiological reactions. It is worth noting that the behavior of the expectant father at this moment will even affect the family life between the couple. Therefore, men must hold their breath at this time.
