What is emergency labor
how so? It often takes more than ten hours to give birth to a child. Are there really people who give birth so quickly? What should you do if you encounter such a situation?
Generally speaking, a precipitous labor is when labor begins before labor pains actually begin. It usually takes about 15 hours for a first-time mother to give birth, and there are almost no cases where she is not hospitalized in time. Precipitous labor occurs mostly in multiparous women.
Now, once pregnant women reach the 32nd week of pregnancy, they will receive weekly counseling. Therefore, except for a few expectant mothers with special circumstances, emergency labor rarely occurs. However, there are exceptions to everything, and having a baby is no exception. Therefore, it is also necessary for pregnant mothers to have a general understanding of emergency labor.
baby treatment
When labor suddenly occurs, the mother will naturally be at a loss and her family will be panicked. At this time, you should calm down quickly and consider the emergency measures that must be taken. Normal babies have very strong vitality. As long as the family does not panic and respond calmly, the baby\’s health can be guaranteed.
In the case of emergency delivery, the following minimum management must be carried out:
1. Contact a hospital or first aid station for help immediately.
2. Prepare several large pots and boil enough water.
3. Those who provide temporary delivery should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and disinfect with alcohol.
4. Healthy babies cry immediately after birth. Let the baby face up and wipe it with clean gauze to prevent dirt from entering the baby\’s eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
5. Gently wipe your baby\’s body, then wrap your baby in a towel, bleached cloth, or clean sheet.
6. Try not to touch the umbilical cord when wiping. However, since doctors and midwives take time to arrive, the umbilical cord still has to be disposed of. This treatment is very important and must be carried out as follows: use carefully sterilized silk threads to perform ligation at two places 2-3cm from the baby\’s belly button and 3-4cm from the belly button. Be sure to tie it. If the knot is not tied well and it falls apart, there will be endless troubles. After tying the knot, use a thoroughly sterilized blade to cut the umbilical cord between the two silk knots, wipe the incision with alcohol, and then wrap the incision with sterile gauze.
mother\’s treatment
To prevent the risk of infection that comes with labor, do the following while you wait for your doctor or midwife to arrive:
1. About 10-20 minutes after the baby is born, the placenta will be delivered. don\’t throw awayThe placenta is instead kept in a container and left for a doctor to see if it is intact. If there is placenta in the uterus, it will cause poor uterine contraction and cause heavy bleeding.
2. Special attention should be paid to preventing blood and amniotic fluid contamination after delivery.
3. Let the boiling water cool down, then use absorbent cotton or gauze dipped in water to carefully wipe the mother\’s vagina, and then wipe dry with the same clean gauze.
4. After wiping, use clean sanitary napkin or absorbent cotton.
5. Do not insert fingers, absorbent cotton, etc. into the vagina.
Tip: If the emergency delivery occurs on the way to the hospital, you don\’t have to stick to the hospital you made an appointment in advance. Instead, you should first go to the nearest hospital or even an outpatient clinic.
