After ten months of hard work, Bao Ma finally successfully unloaded the goods and breathed a sigh of relief.
But as soon as the baby falls to the ground, he will be carried to the side by the nurse and begin to walk a variety of "processes", the process is as long as 10 minutes or so, and then he is carried back to his mother.
Will there be a "tanuki cat for a prince" in the middle? Many parents are a little worried.
In fact, in these 10 minutes, the baby will experience several new challenges, through the help of medical staff, he will complete several "life events", which is very important for the baby.
Howling and crying
After 10 months in the warm amniotic fluid, the first thing your baby does in this world is to "cry and cry."
However, unlike the crying in our conventional cognition, the baby's crying at this time is actually establishing spontaneous breathing.
During the fetal period, although the baby's lungs have developed successfully, they have not officially started working because there is no air around them.
After the baby is born, the outside air enters its body for the first time, the chest is washed away by the air, the chest cavity gradually expands, with the establishment of spontaneous breathing, carbon dioxide is discharged, and when it passes through the vocal cords, it causes vibrations, and the baby will make a sound similar to crying.
Therefore, crying after the baby is born is a signal that the organs of the body are starting to work, and it is a sign of good health.
We may also encounter similar scenes in real life, some babies are not "crying" when they are just born, the nurse sister will gently hit the soles of the baby's feet with her hands, if the baby still does not "cry", the medical staff will immediately carry out treatment, further clean up the respiratory tract, suck out the residual amniotic fluid, mucus, the purpose is to allow the baby to establish independent breathing, make a preliminary judgment on the baby's physical development.
Cut the umbilical cord
When the baby lives in the mother's belly, it needs to get the mother's nutritional support through the umbilical cord, and when the delivery is completed and the placenta is delivered, the umbilical cord has completed its historical mission and can "gloriously exit".
After the baby is born, the doctor will take out two pairs of vascular forceps, clip the umbilical cord, "click" cut, and then carry out simple bandaging and disinfection, generally after 2 weeks, the baby can grow his own "small navel".
Some mothers may ask, if the umbilical cord is not cut, will there be any impact on the health of the baby?
The answer is of course yes, do not cut the umbilical cord, umbilical cord blood will flow into the baby's body through the umbilical cord, causing a burden on the baby's heart, and may also cause some diseases, such as red blood cell disease, hyperbilirubinemia, etc., and even endanger the child's life when severe.
Therefore, it is crucial to help the baby cut the umbilical cord and separate from the mother, which is a major "life challenge" for the baby to arrive in this world.
Clean the body and press the footprints
Contrary to the imagination of some fathers, babies are neither beautiful nor cute when they are born, and they will look "dirty", full of grease and some mottled blood.
In order to prevent water evaporation and reduce your baby's body temperature, the medical staff will seize the time to clean up the baby's body with a towel and wipe the water clean.
Immediately after, the medical staff will also issue the baby's first ID card in his life - pressing the "footprints", which can not only prevent being held wrongly, but also keep it as a souvenir, which is very meaningful.
Experience the first "exam" of your life
Not only do adults have to go through various exams, but when the baby is just born, it will immediately usher in the first "test" of life - A shi score.
The so-called Ashi score is the "apgar score", including muscle tone (Activity), pulse (Pulse), response to stimuli (Grimace), skin color (Appearance), breathing (Respiration) a total of 5 items, is the basic assessment of the baby's physical health.
According to the test results, those with a score of 10 are considered normal newborns, babies with less than 7 points are considered to have mild asphyxia, and the score is below 4 points, considering that the baby has severe asphyxia, in general, most newborns have a score between 7-10 points.
Measure height and weight, wrap in a "small quilt"
After going through the above process, the healthcare provider will start measuring your baby's height and weight.
The height and weight of each baby at birth are different, in general, the standard height range of the baby is 45.2-55 .8cm, the baby girl is slightly shorter than the baby boy, and the standard weight range is 2.26-4.66 kg, and the baby boy and the baby girl are roughly the same.
Once the baby's weight exceeds 4kg, it will be medically recognized as a "giant child", not only the probability of complications will increase, but also it will be more likely to be obese when it grows up, becoming a vulnerable group of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
After the baby's height and weight measurement is completed, the medical staff will make a record, register it on the baby's birth certificate, and then wear a small hand card for the baby, wrap it in a "small quilt" (swaddling), and send it back to the mother, the baby can start sucking the first delicious breast milk, officially starting the "Earth OL" game journey.
Old Miao Conclusion:
Pregnant in October, once in childbirth, in order to successfully birth of the baby, the mother needs to spend twelve points of effort, and the baby in order to successfully meet with the parents and mothers, but also to experience a variety of "challenges", people can't help but feel the magic of life.
Of course, even if the mother and the baby are connected by blood, it does not prevent the baby from growing up to be "mischievous", and the arduous parenting journey is only the starting point at this moment.
