Maternity Tips: How to Deal with Emergency Delivery?

Learn to monitor the fetus

Pregnant women should start from 30 weeks of pregnancy to count their own fetal movements, once the fetal movement is significantly reduced, such as less than 20 fetal movements in 12 hours, they should go to the hospital immediately.

Do a superbiographic examination to understand the placental condition

Before and after the expected date, by doing A super examination, understand the degree of calcification of the placenta and the amount of amniotic fluid, and the placental calcification level 3 or above should be paid attention to.

Induction of labour if necessary

If the fetal placenta condition is still good and the fetus is mature, induction of labour can be performed after 41 weeks, especially for pregnant women of advanced age, gestational hypertension syndrome, and excessive fetus.

How to deal with emergency delivery

If the pregnant woman is too late to go to the hospital, she will find that the child is about to be born, in order to avoid the child being born on the road, it is best to stay at home and give birth. When you are sure to give birth at home, remember to call the "112" emergency number first, and ask "112" to send the nearest nursing staff to the home to assist in the birth. If there is only a pregnant woman in the house, then after making a call, open the door of the home first, so as not to let the nursing staff arrive, but the mother is in pain and cannot get up to open the door. Before the caregiver arrives, the woman can lie flat and put a quilt or other soft object underneath to avoid the baby being born too soon and the head hitting the ground first. In addition, it is also necessary to prepare a towel in advance, and you can wrap it up with a towel after the baby is born to prevent him from getting cold.

When you are ready, wash the vulva, inner thighs, and finally around the anus with soapy water, water, and disinfectant. Then wash your hands with soap and apply the disinfectant. Gently press your right hand against the perineum, and your left hand assists the fetal head to slowly deliver it, removes mucus from the mouth and nose, and then assists the baby to deliver it. After the baby is born (note that the umbilical cord should not be pulled at this time), slowly place it on the side of the body, wipe the baby's face, mouth, and nose with a clean cloth, and make it lie horizontally to avoid suffocation. The sooner the above work is done, the better.
