Hello everyone, I'm Themi's mother~
We often say: pregnant in October, give birth once.
For expectant mothers, in this process, it can be said that they have suffered a lot.
But when we lie on the delivery bed and hear the baby crying, do we think that everything is worth it?
Moreover, the moment the child is born, we will feel the pressure of a thousand pounds on our shoulders, and we can finally unload it.
In fact, at this time, in addition to the fact that the mother herself has just given birth to the child and will feel tired, the newborn babies are also busy doing their own things.
01. I haven't seen my baby for half an hour, how can he be busier than me?
When I was having a big baby, because I was a normal child and had no experience, I made a lot of jokes.
When I gave birth, I belonged to the kind that went relatively smoothly, and it didn't feel like much effort, and after the baby was born, the nurse hugged me to let me see it, and then I took it away.
At that time, I was in a hurry, I thought about how I hadn't seen enough, how I had taken it away, and then I heard the nurses and doctors muttering something there, all in technical terms, and I didn't understand too much.
But when the mother is distressed about her own child, hearing the doctor get together to say something, although I am lying down, it is inevitable to be anxious, and shout at the doctor: "What about my baby"?
Both the doctor and the nurse were startled by me, and when they reacted, they said to me: "The adults are busy, and the baby has something to be busy with."
Later, I learned that the baby had a lot of work to complete before the delivery room, and it was much busier than I thought.
02. What are newborn babies busy with?
After the mother gives birth, she will observe the delivery room for a while, so in general, the mother and the baby are not born in the delivery room at the same time.
So, when the mother is resting and observing, what is the baby "busy"?
Cut the umbilical cord
Women who have conceived a baby may be familiar with the umbilical cord, which is a life belt that transports oxygen and nutrients for the baby.
After the baby is born, they can breathe autonomously through the mouth and nose, through breast milk to absorb nutrients, at this time, the umbilical cord also loses its value and role.
Therefore, the doctor will cut this umbilical cord, of course, even if the artificial intervention is not involved to cut it short, basically after a week, the umbilical cord will gradually dry up and fall off on its own.
Baby's crying
Friends who have watched some birth film and television dramas know that all the pictures of delivering children in TV dramas are often accompanied by the crying of children.
Moreover, if the child does not cry or make trouble, the midwife will also make the baby cry by slapping the baby's ass.
What is the reason for this?
In fact, when the baby is in the mother's belly, it obtains oxygen through the umbilical cord, but after birth, it must breathe on its own.
Therefore, when the baby makes the first cry, it means that the baby has officially switched to the lung breathing mode.
Wash the body
After the baby is born, it will be wrapped in some white substance, and some other things.
Then at this time, you need to give the baby a small cleaning work, perhaps many mothers do not know what those white substances are, in fact, that thing is the baby's own secretion of fetal fat.
Now research has found that this kind of fetal fat has many benefits, such as lubricating during childbirth, and can also protect the baby's delicate skin and prevent bacterial invasion.
Routine inspections
Under normal circumstances, after the baby is cleaned, it will be carried to some routine examinations, such as height, weight, heartbeat and so on.
In short, it is to do a health assessment to ensure that all indicators are normal.
Leave footprints
Probably many mothers have found out, and the doctor will leave footprints for the baby.
Why?
In fact, this footprint is for the hospital to record information and keep files.
So why not mudras?
Because the lines on the soles of the feet are relatively clear, in addition, when the baby is just born, the palms are in the shape of a clenched fist, and it is difficult to cooperate with the doctor.
In addition, the hospital will also wear a bracelet and ankle ring for the baby, which has the baby's identity information on it, so as not to be confused.
Therefore, seeing these things, is there some admiration for this little guy, although he was just born, but there are many things to do, and when you are a mother, don't be stingy and praise.
03. What are the precautions for new mothers to get along with their babies?
For new mothers, they are particularly eager to see their baby since they have seen each other in the delivery room.
So, what are the precautions when you are with your baby?
First, grab your baby.
If our physical conditions permit, we must hold our baby, pregnant in October, the baby is closely linked to the mother, after birth, the baby will also especially want to see their mother.
Although the baby can't recognize which is the mother at once, but the ten months of day and night together, let them learn to identify through the mother's smell and voice.
Therefore, at this time, you must hold the baby, because the characteristics of your body will make him have a sense of familiarity, and only in your home, he will be very at ease.
Second, don't forget to breastfeed promptly.
Now everyone is emphasizing breastfeeding, because breastfeeding has many benefits and is the ration that best meets the nutrients needed for the baby's growth and development.
In addition, timely breastfeeding helps to promote the secretion of breast milk and promote the recovery of mothers after childbirth.
Mother Themi's message:
After the torment of pregnancy in October, the birth of the baby is the happiest moment for the mother, for the mother herself, she will experience many firsts in her life, and for the baby, the same is true.
So here I hope that everyone should be prepared in advance, and together with the baby, to meet the beautiful, to meet the touch and happiness.
Finally, I would like to ask you, when you gave birth, did you make any jokes?
