Do painless birth injections affect intelligence?

For the painless birth injection, many people have their own views, some people are afraid of becoming stupid after the beating, some people are afraid of the impact on the baby, the following Anushi will talk to you about painless birth injections.

First of all, let's talk about what is painless delivery, painless childbirth in the medical term is childbirth analgesia, literally it is not difficult to understand, that is, to alleviate the pain caused by childbirth.　Painless childbirth generally uses epidural anesthesia, through a very thin hollow catheter to deliver anesthesia to the nerves around the spinal cord, the use of a small amount of anesthetic to alleviate the pain of childbirth, so that the lower body has no pain sensation, but retain the sense of touch, contraction during the feeling of stomach tightness and other sensations. Painless childbirth can reduce the fear of childbirth and postpartum tiredness, so that the mother can rest in the longest first stage of labor, when the uterine opening should be fully forced, the expectant mother to maintain consciousness to cooperate with the delivery.

Many people hear that anesthesia should be taken, and they will feel that it will help the baby, but modern medicine Changming, whether it is a caesarean section or a painless delivery, the concentration of anesthesia and the dosage of the drug are actually within the standard control range. The amount of medicine that enters the pregnant woman's body and reaches the fetus is minimal. Overall, labour analgesia is safe for the fetus. Finally, most of the painless deliveries are short-acting anesthetics, which will be excreted with the pregnant mother's own metabolism, will not affect the fetus, and will not hinder the intellectual development of the fetus. In many ways, painless childbirth has little effect on the fetus, and there is no situation that affects the intelligence of the mother and the baby.

　After giving birth, some people will find that their memory is not as good as before, and they always lose everything, so they blame "painless childbirth" and think that it is a side effect of painless childbirth. This is unscientific! There is an old saying: "A pregnancy is stupid for three years". This is because the brain is in a state of tension for a long time during pregnancy, worrying about miscarriage and premature birth; Postpartum care of newborn babies long-term fatigue, lack of sleep, resulting in poor mental state, people's reactions become slower, and even memory decline. Painless childbirth is widely available, but it requires careful examination by obstetricians and gynecologists and anesthesiologists before deciding whether a woman can adopt this mode of delivery. Pregnant women with contraindications to vaginal delivery, contraindications to anesthesia, and coagulation dysfunction should not use the painless delivery method; For women who have a history of pregnancy complicated by heart disease, drug allergies, or trauma to the lower back, it is up to the doctor to decide whether to have a painless delivery.
