October pregnancy is not easy, pregnant mothers all the way to "cut through the thorns", just when the baby is about to be born, the mothers are both excited and wandering. Especially for pregnant mothers who are pregnant for the first time, it is particularly panicked, and it is very unclear what to prepare for delivery.
I remember that at that time, I was more than two months ahead of schedule, and I had purchased all kinds of things that might be used for delivery. There are baby's belly pockets, small quilts, bottles, folding basins, toilet mats, sanitary napkins, anti-spill mats, and everything.
When I was 38 weeks pregnant and 3 days pregnant, I was particularly nervous, thinking that I could have a chance of labor at any time, so I sorted out the things that I would use for the maternity meeting and put them in a bag, ready to be admitted to the hospital at any time after the situation.
Unexpectedly, when I got up the next morning to go to the toilet, I felt as if the amniotic fluid was broken, and I shouted to my husband in a panic, and quickly asked him to drive me to the hospital. It wasn't long before I was pushed into the delivery room, and the nurse asked us for a knife and paper, and I thought to myself: I was lucky to buy it, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
The mother in the same ward as me was not so lucky, her family did not prepare knife paper, so after being told by the nurse, her mother-in-law ran to the physical store to buy it. But the old man did not buy a few, and also fell heavily, so that the mother did not use knife paper until she was born, and finally the nurse lent it.
Why do I need to prepare knife paper for delivery?
We young people like to use soft toilet paper and paper pumps, but those who have had the experience of having children know how important knife paper is. Knife paper, also known as "confinement paper", is the thing that most mothers and confinement mothers use. The price of knife paper is not expensive, lower than the mattress pad, and the pregnant mother should put the knife paper in the maternity bag of the baby. Because, the role and advantages of knife paper, there are really many:
1. It is convenient for pregnant women to wipe secretions and lochia
Before the birth of the baby, the doctor should help the mother to judge the degree of opening of the uterine opening, at this time the mother's secretions are more, such as urine, blood, vaginal discharge, etc., need to wipe it. At this time, the general choice is to use knife paper.
In addition, when giving birth, the doctor will wipe the maternal secretions, amniotic fluid, blood, the amount of lochia removed by the mother is very large, and a wipe with a knife paper can avoid soiling the bedding.
2. Knife paper is very breathable, less bacteria
Knife paper for the mother, because although the knife paper looks not white enough, but its bacterial rate is low, the knife paper in the process of production and processing, and does not go through the bleaching process, the probability of contamination is low, very suitable for the mother. Moreover, the breathability of knife paper is better, and it is not easy to have confetti after getting wet, which is more protective for pregnant women.
It can be seen that knife paper is a necessary thing for pregnant women, and pregnant mothers should prepare in advance before giving birth to avoid panicking to buy on the day of giving birth. Once in the hospital, when the medical staff inquired, the birth mother was not fully prepared, neglected the knife paper, and was really prone to trouble.
However, some pregnant mothers were pregnant for the first time, just like me at the time, and it was difficult to know the names of all the items that should be prepared. Although some pregnant mothers are the second and third children, the pregnant mother may also lose three or four because of nervousness and other reasons, and only remember when she enters the delivery room that she forgot what to bring, which is also forgivable.
So, what should you prepare in advance before giving birth?
Briefly, such as small monk clothes, cotton soft towels, diaper pads, cotton slippers, pajamas, thick socks, disposable toilet mats, bed sheet covers, confinement paper, maternity mats and other items.
