"Don't prevent the fetus from being delivered."
"Ask your wife not to sit on the toilet and rest in a comfortable position."
"Breathe deeply between contractions and cushion the mother's head with a pillow."
"When the baby's head comes out, gently and firmly hold the baby's head with your hand to prevent the child from coming out too quickly."
"When the baby is born, firmly grasp the baby's legs and buttocks, because the baby is very slippery, be sure to grasp it firmly and not fall on the ground."

Record-breaking rush to produce a baby
It's true that people are envious, and it's true that it's thrilling!
Many mothers look forward to a super-fast delivery, but sometimes it's really not a good thing to have a labor too fast.
For example - urgent labor.
What is the most dangerous thing about emergency labor? It is the baby who initiates that it may not be too late to go to the hospital, and giving birth outside the hospital, without the guidance of a doctor, is really very dangerous.
There are too many examples of this.
A mother of a second child in Zhuhai, after feeling a sharp pain at home, the child suddenly "drilled" out, because the mother was standing, the ground was also a hard floor, the child fell out head-to-head, and his head immediately puffed out a big bag.
In Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, a pregnant woman was walking on the street, and the child slipped out of her body and fell to the ground, but passers-by called the emergency number in time to keep the child and mother safe.
A Canadian mother, Erika, rushed to the hospital after her water broke, and as a result, the pain became more intense when she was in the car, and Erika knew that it was too late to go to the hospital.
So after the husband stopped and made a call, he delivered his wife under the guidance of the first responder, and not long after, the baby was born.
It is understood that this is the third baby of Erika and her husband, the first two deliveries, Erika was also born very quickly, the doctor and she said, if nothing else, the third child will also be born quickly, at that time Erika also prayed, hoping that everything would not be too sudden.
Unexpectedly, the third delivery was still so sudden.
Super-fast baby birth sounds enviable, but in fact, rapid labor is very dangerous!

The child is born too quickly
Rushing into labor is not necessarily a good thing!
Medically, the normal course of labour is divided into 3 phases:
First stage of labor: from contractions to opening the uterus, the general labor course takes about 11-12 hours for naviparous women and only 6-8 hours for multiparous women.
The second stage of labor: from the opening of the uterus to the birth of the baby, it takes about 1-2 hours for nulliparous mothers, and less than 1 hour for multiparous women.
Third stage of labour: until the placenta is delivered, most mothers only need 5-15 minutes.
During normal labor, mothers can detect the signal of labor in time and actively prepare to rush to the hospital.
But mothers who have an urgent birth may not have time to go to the hospital.
So what is an emergency birth?
Urgent labor is rapid delivery, if the baby is born within 3 hours after the contractions begin, it is an emergency birth, about two percent of mothers, the labor process is very fast.
There is an emergency labor for a mother, and it is only at the last moment of labor that she realizes that labor is taking place.
There is also the mother's emergency labor, which is that uterine contractions are very frequent and intense, and the labor course is very short.
What causes emergency labor?
No one knows exactly what causes emergency labor, and it has not been confirmed that the experience of emergency labor is inherited, but there are several factors that may be related to emergency labor:
●Placental abruption
●Chronic hypertension (hypertension during pregnancy)
●Low birth weight infants (intrauterine growth restriction)
●Contractions that are too strong and too rapid
●Preterm labor (delivery at 29 to 36 weeks' gestation)
●The uterine orifice of the postparting woman is loose, the pain is slightly weak, and the sensation is slow, which is easy to cause emergency labor
If you are a mother with such factors, you should carefully pay attention to the state of your body before giving birth and prepare for delivery.
Especially for mothers who have had emergency labor experience before, the second child should pay more attention.

The truth about rush labor
The risk of emergency labor is comparable to difficult labor!
Super-fast delivery may sound enviable indeed, and before you feel pain, the baby is born.
But in reality, labor is too fast and the risks are many:
For moms, complications of emergency labor include:
●Placental abruption. That is, the placenta begins to break off from the lining of the uterus before the baby is born.
●Severe tearing. Depending on the speed of delivery, there will be contusions or tears in the cervix, vagina, or perineum.
●Postpartum hemorrhage: Ultra-rapid labor may prevent the uterus from contracting properly after the baby is born, and uterine atony may cause postpartum hemorrhage.
●The placenta cannot be delivered. No one wants to experience the pain of peeling the placenta by hand a second time.
Of course, there are many mothers in urgent labor who will not appear and find any, and these complications may also occur in normal childbirth, but it is said that mothers in urgent labor will have a slightly greater chance of having the above complications.
For your baby, complications of emergency labor include:
●The rapid rate of emergency labor and the short time are likely to cause amniotic fluid aspiration during labor, which will cause suffocation of the newborn baby, and improper handling may also cause neonatal pneumonia.
●Unsterilized contact may cause infection.
●Due to the speed and frequency of contractions, interrupting the baby's oxygen supply during delivery.
●The baby's skull bleeds from rapid pressure and is then released as the baby descends through the birth canal.
●If your baby arrives suddenly, a fall may occur.
●If your baby is born outdoors or in a cold environment, he may catch a cold.
●Intrauterine distress. The contractions during emergency labor are too strong and too fast, which affects the blood circulation of the placenta, so the fetus is prone to hypoxia and intrauterine distress.
Of course, most babies born in an emergency are fine and will not have any problems due to rapid delivery.

Catch the signal of a rush to labor
You can better protect yourself and your baby!
If there are signs of ultra-fast and urgent labor, if it is too late to rush to the hospital, don't let yourself lose control and stay sane.
Three signals of urgent labor, mothers must know:
●Sudden, severe contractions, which are not spaced at any intervals and are consistently violent.
●Strong abdominal pain, which feels like contractions and cannot be relieved.
●Strong feeling of falling. It feels like a bowel movement, which indicates that the cervix is dilating rapidly.
For pregnant mothers, the most important thing is to recognize the signs of emergency labor and respond to better protect their baby.
Although the speed of delivery cannot be controlled, there are several steps you can follow to control rapid delivery:
● Find a comfortable position to lie down. Do not sit on the toilet, find a comfortable position to lie down, avoid the child being born with the head on the ground, lying in a clean place.
●Take a deep breath to relieve pain. Pregnant mothers should learn breathing methods in advance, maintain control through breathing techniques and calm thoughts, call 120, let obstetricians guide and emergency doctors rush to the scene as soon as possible.
●Have family by your side. Be sure to be accompanied during an emergency birth, and if your family is not available, find a neighbor.
●Have your family deliver the baby before the ambulance arrives. If you can't wait for the emergency doctor to bring it, the family is responsible for delivering the baby, and the pregnant mother gently pushes the baby out every time she wants to push hard.
With the fetal head exposed, gasp for air and gently apply pressure to the perineum to stop your baby from popping up.
Let the fetal head come out slowly, do not pull.
If you notice an umbilical cord wrapped around your baby's neck, gently move the cord from below to your head with your fingers.
●Protect your baby's head. Gently hold the fetal head with both hands and press down slightly (never pull) while pushing firmly to deliver the shoulders.
After the front shoulder is delivered, carefully lift the baby's head and then let the back shoulder come out, and after the shoulder comes out, the other parts will easily come out.
Note: Here the family must grasp the baby's legs and buttocks, the baby is born very slippery, must grasp steady.
● Place your baby on your tummy. If the umbilical cord is long, place it on your chest. Quickly wrap your baby in a clean blanket, towel, or anything else you can get handy.
● Clean your baby's mouth and nose with a clean cloth. If the helper hasn't come and your baby hasn't been crying or breathing, rub his back to keep his head lower than his feet.
If breathing still doesn't start, clean your mouth deeper with clean fingers and blow quickly and gently into your baby's nose and mouth.
●Don't think about pulling out the placenta. If the placenta is delivered automatically before emergency help arrives, wrap it in a towel or newspaper.
● Do not cut the umbilical cord. And place the placenta higher than or at the same height as the baby.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that before the birth is approaching, you must make sure that someone is around, and if your husband is unable to stay around for some reason, it is best to let one or two friends or relatives be on standby in advance.
