If there is insufficient productivity, the baby will not be able to deliver naturally. There are many reasons for the lack of productivity, and expectant mothers should understand it in advance and know it in their hearts, which is conducive to smooth delivery.
Causes of contractions
Contractile weakness is the leading cause of prolonged labour and even delayed labour. In addition to the weakness of uterus caused by the asymmetry of the head pelvis and abnormal fetal position, excessive nervousness of expectant mothers is also one of the reasons. When the expectant mother is very afraid of the birth process and the emotions are constantly in a state of tension, the dysfunction of the cerebral cortex will affect the normal regulation of contractions.
In addition, the mother-to-be's poor physique, excessive fatigue, insufficient eating, premature exertion, etc., can make the physical strength too early, too fast consumption, but also lead to contracture fatigue.
How to prevent contractions
Be prepared for childbirth. When approaching the due date, expectant mothers can make some preparations in advance, such as packing up all kinds of utensils, clothes, food, etc. that need to be brought to the hospital, and it is much easier to fight a prepared battle than to rush to the battle.
Maintain good routines. Sleep is the best way to restore physical strength, expectant mothers must sleep enough, do not stay up late. Some expectant mothers are close to the due date, always worried that the baby will arrive early, imagine various dangerous emergencies, and the more they think about it, the more difficult it is to sleep. In fact, childbirth is a gradual process, and only the first stage of labor (starting from regular contractions to the opening of the uterus) takes about 8 hours, and it is completely too late to go to the hospital.
Replenish energy in a timely manner. Most expectant mothers pay more attention to nutrition, usually eat the amount of food to ensure the needs of the body, there will be no hunger caused by insufficient energy and malnutrition problems. However, after entering the first stage of labor, some expectant mothers forget or cannot eat due to the pain of contractions, so that the body's energy is insufficient. Therefore, even after the appearance of regular contractions, expectant mothers should pay attention to eating on demand, and if they sweat more, they must not neglect to drink water. After each bout of contractions, there is a calm time when expectant mothers can grab some food and prepare for the upcoming second stage of labor.
Save stamina. Before the uterine opening is complete, the expectant mother's breath holding force will not help the delivery, but may aggravate the uterine oterine oatum and cause difficulties in childbirth. Therefore, expectant mothers should not blindly exert force, but should follow the guidance of the doctor and let the force be used again. In addition, the force should be combined with the contraction, which will save more effort. Do not exert force during the intermittent period of contractions, but seize the time to rest.
Improves associated muscle strength
Although productivity is dominated by uterine contractility, the contractility of the abdominal wall muscles, diaphragm muscles, and levator ani muscle contractility are also important components of productivity. If these muscles are weak, they can also cause obstacles to the baby's delivery.
During pregnancy, it is necessary to increase the strength of the abdominal wall muscles, diaphragm muscles, and levator ani muscles, and pay attention to appropriate exercise. Exercise can enhance the physical strength of expectant mothers, make muscles stronger, improve cardiopulmonary function, these can come in handy during childbirth. Therefore, expectant mothers should pay attention to physical exercise, and do not exercise because they are pregnant. Expectant mothers can choose non-running and jumping sports with moderate amount of exercise according to their preferences and physical conditions.
