Many women after giving birth to a child, there are always a few moments, feel as if there is a baby in their stomach, but after experiencing the previous obstetric examination, they clearly know that there is only one baby, which also makes the mothers have a relatively large doubt, why is there such a situation?
Case: Not long after giving birth, the mother said "there is still one in the stomach", and the doctor's explanation made the mother happy
After Xiaoding conceives the baby, every obstetric examination will go on time, and every time he gets the obstetric report, he will feel very excited, especially when he sees the state of the baby in the belly, he feels that he and the baby are getting closer and closer.
On the day of labor, because it was the first birth, and Xiaoding's cervical opening was more tense than other mothers, it took more than 20 hours in the first labor. It was difficult to enter the second stage of labor, Xiaoding felt more intense pain, under the guidance of the doctor, Xiaoding gave birth to the baby through the cooperation of breathing and force.
The baby's weight is still relatively heavy, a full 7 pounds 9 two, almost 8 pounds, the doctor joked that it is a big fat boy. It is precisely because of this that the lateral incision of Xiaoding is also more serious, and after the placenta is discharged, the doctor begins to prepare for the lateral incision and suturing of Xiaoding.
But just when the doctor's side incision was half closed, Xiaoding suddenly felt a relatively large feeling in his stomach, so he said to the doctor, "There seems to be another one in the stomach." After saying this, not only the doctor, but even Xiaoding himself felt embarrassed, after all, he was also the person who had seen the obstetric examination report at that time, according to the display of the B ultrasound, there was obviously only one.
The doctor explained with a smile, "It's normal for you to have this feeling, many women say so, mainly because there are contractions after childbirth, the uterus is still contracting, and the stomach will also feel strange, so let you have this feeling, relax your heart, if there is another one, it will definitely be returned to you." The doctor's explanation made Xiao Ding listen to the music and understand what was going on.
01 Why do you feel "there is still one in your belly" after giving birth?
I believe that many women who have experienced childbearing will have such an illusion after childbirth. In fact, the reason why there is such a feeling is that as the doctor explained in the above case, from the moment of labor, the contractions will begin to start, and the contractions will not stop at the end of the labor process, usually, the postpartum contractions of women who have a normal birth will last for about a week, and women who choose caesarean section, the contractions will last longer, most of them are about 7 to 10 days.
Because of these remaining contractions, women feel a strong sense of peristalsis in the stomach, this feeling is normal, the existence of this contraction is also to help the uterus better and faster discharge of lochia in the uterus, so do not worry.
It should also be noted that in the postpartum period, whether it is a vaginal birth, or a woman who has been born by caesarean section, she must go through the process of pressing the stomach, and the mother who has experienced it has said that the process of pressing the stomach is very painful, but it cannot be escaped, otherwise the lochia is difficult to discharge well, which is extremely unfavorable for the recovery of the postpartum uterus. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women to cooperate with the nurse's stomach pressing process to ensure the smooth discharge of lochia.
02 During the normal delivery process, what other strange feelings will the mother experience?
In fact, women who have a vaginal birth will feel more strange sensations during labor than women who have a caesarean section, after all, the process of caesarean section has been anesthetized, and there is basically no feeling.
In the process of vaginal delivery, some women may have strong physiological needs, that is, the need to urinate or defecation, the need for urination is relatively more common, after all, the contraction process will stimulate the urethra, resulting in urination.
As for the situation of bowel movements, in general, doctors will ask women whether they have defecation needs before childbirth, but some women will hide their constipation symptoms because they are embarrassed, and during labor, if the productivity is too large and stimulate the intestine, it is likely that they will defecate uncontrollably, which can also be seen during labor, but it is relatively rare.
If a woman encounters this situation during labour, there is no need to feel embarrassed, and doctors and nurses will handle it well because they are used to these unexpected situations. What the mother needs to do is to relax and cooperate with the doctor's breathing and force requirements to ensure that the baby is born safely.
There are also some women in the labor process because the placenta is difficult to peel off independently, so the need for a doctor to hand peel the placenta, then the mother will feel great pain, according to the maternal response experienced, this feeling is even more painful than childbirth, then the mother needs to do is to cooperate, not resist, otherwise it will hinder the doctor's peeling process.
Conclusion: There will be many unexpected situations during childbirth, and pregnant mothers must be mentally prepared before childbirth to deal with these emergencies at any time and reduce the risk of pregnancy.
