Xiaomei is a 35-year-old mother, and the story starts a year ago.
Xiaomei and her husband Xiaoshuai have known each other for 8 years, and when they first got married, the little couple had not considered having children, but they couldn't stop their mother-in-law from whispering in their ears every day: "You two should prepare to get pregnant, our family is a single inheritance for four generations, but you can't cut off the incense in your place." There are also various relatives' "cool words", such as: "Why don't you want children at such an age, Xiaomei, can't you give birth?" Another example: "If you don't have children while you are young now, and then you will not be taken care of when you get sick, what should you do?" ”
At first, Xiaomei did not take these words to heart, but her left ear went in and out of her right ear, but in the end, she gradually began to be anxious under pressure.
Finally got pregnant after 4 years of marriage...
During pregnancy, Xiaomei's morning sickness is particularly serious, and she can't eat anything, and when the situation begins to improve in three or four months, her mother-in-law began to find a variety of "divine doctors" to show Xiaomei the sex of the fetus, as soon as she heard that it was a boy, her mother-in-law was happy to close her mouth, every day to Xiaomei to make a variety of delicious food, fruits, snacks, desserts are also a lot, during the pregnancy test, the doctor said that Xiaomei's baby is a little too big, need to be controlled, otherwise the birth will increase a lot of risks, But the mother-in-law was bent on wanting her grandson to be white and fat when he was born, and he still had big fish and meat after he went back.
Finally, because the fetus's head is too large, it is very difficult to give birth, which also leads to severe tears in Xiaomei's perineum.
In fact, perineal tearing is a very common thing in the smooth delivery, and the day after tomorrow, there are also many expectant mothers who ask me in private messages, about the problem of perineal tears, and there are many mother-in-law problems in postpartum consultation and repair, today I will give you a detailed answer:
How can I prevent perineal tearing during delivery?
- It is important to control fetal weight
The birth canal is like a tunnel, and the fetus is like a train through the tunnel, and if the fetus is of the right weight, it will make it easier to pass, it will reduce the pressure on the soft tissues of the perineum, and thus reduce the chance of perineal laceration. Generally speaking, the weight control of the fetus at birth is 2800~3300g is the most appropriate.
2. Perineal massage is a good idea
Perineal massage is to massage the skin and muscle tissue of the perineum with appropriate strength, so that the elasticity of the skin muscle tissue is enhanced, and the perineal tissue can be fully expanded during childbirth, thereby effectively reducing the laceration during delivery and reducing the risk of perineal incision. It is generally recommended that pregnant women start at 34 weeks of gestation, at least once a week, each time for about 10 minutes.
3. Correct use of force by pregnant women during labor
Proper use of productivity can prevent perineal tearing caused by excessive force and insufficient expansion of the perineum.
If the palace entrance is not fully opened, be sure not to exert force. Because this can cause the cervix to be pressed for too long and edema, affecting the expansion of the uterine orifice, and in severe cases, cervical laceration. When the uterine opening of the pregnant woman is complete and accompanied by contractions, at this time, you must listen to the command of the midwife, use the correct force, and should not be too strong.
What are the considerations for perineal tear surgery?
Because now our standard of living has improved, eating naturally is milligrams, so there are many people who have perineal tears during childbirth.
After perineal sutures, the most important thing is to pay attention to hygiene. Perineal irrigation is necessary and is generally recommended after dilution with iodophor solution. Change sanitary napkins as often as possible to keep the wound dry.
Pay attention to light diet, eat less spicy and stimulating food, and eat more foods high in protein to supplement nutrition. Generally speaking, it basically heals in about 5 days. If the stitches need to be removed, they can be removed in four days.
