Selina was admitted to the hospital to give birth, revealing that the baby was nearly 8 pounds of normal birth: a fat baby is indeed difficult to give birth

Original | Pregnancy

Moms, how much does your baby weigh when it was born? Is it smooth or sectional?

Recently, Selina revealed on social platforms that she was admitted to the hospital to give birth, and her mood was nervous and excited.

I can't bear every moment that the little cashew nut (baby's nickname) is with my belly, but I can't wait to meet him.

This mood of labor is reluctant and looking forward to it.

When it comes to the method of delivery, Selina wants to give birth naturally, and she also joked: elegant birth is the goal, and you must remember to put lipstick on your beautiful mommy.

Selina feels that the moment the baby is born is very memorable, so be sure to take beautiful photos after giving birth.

But when it comes to vaginal birth, Selina is still a little worried, because the baby in the belly is too big.

At the time of the last prenatal examination, the baby in the belly was already 6 pounds, and the head circumference was one week larger than the gestational week.

Because the baby will grow later, Selina estimates that the baby's weight may reach 8 pounds before birth, and she also revealed that her husband Xiao Xu was born as a huge child.

If the baby really weighs 8 pounds, it is a huge baby, and it will indeed be very difficult to give birth smoothly.

I hope that Selina, who is admitted to the hospital to give birth, will be all right.

Born a baby of 8.3 pounds

When I was born, I really wanted half my life!

Fertility is already difficult, and giving birth to a fat baby is even more difficult.

Pregnant mothers have seen many mothers' birth stories, and there are many mothers who are overweight because their babies are overweight, and the labor process is very hard.

Some mothers even choose a caesarean section because the baby is overweight.

"Spontaneous delivery of 9.2 pounds baby, I really don't know how I gave birth, you must control your weight."

"Spontaneous delivery of 8.3 pounds of baby, when born really takes half a life, every mother who wants to give birth smoothly, will think of trying to control the baby's weight. It is best to control it at about 6 pounds, and it is best to be raw! ”

"When B ultrasound estimated that the baby had 8 pounds, he made up his mind to dissect it, and just like that, the 9-pound fat baby was born by cesarean section."

"Because a child did not control its weight, it could only be delivered by cesarean section, and the baby was born 9.8 pounds, which is a huge baby, and as soon as it was born, it was hospitalized for 20 days because of neonatal hypoglycemia, and the blood sugar was stable."

It's really harder than one.

News of babies in distress due to overweight has also been reported.

A mother in Wuhan, because her weight was not well controlled during pregnancy, gave birth to a huge baby of 8.8 pounds.

Just when the family was still happy to say that they had given birth to a big fat boy, the mother suddenly bleed.

Because the baby is too large, the mother's uterus expands excessively, loses its normal elasticity, cannot contract after delivery, blood gurgles straight out, and hemorrhages after childbirth.

Fortunately, the doctor gave strength and found the bleeding point in only 3 minutes, but by the time the bleeding stopped, my mother had already lost 2,000 ml, which was half of the body's blood, and almost didn't save her life.

The experience of too many people tells us: it is really not easy to give birth to a fat baby!

When a fat baby is born, there will be many challenges

Fat mothers give birth to children, it is also more difficult than the average person!

Why does the doctor tell the surrogate mother that she must control her weight well during every prenatal examination?

Because the pregnant mother is overweight too much, it also means that the baby will grow up with it, and if the baby is overweight, it may cause a lot of problems.

The most suitable weight for babies at birth is about 6.4 pounds, and more than 8 pounds are called giants, and giant babies have a great impact on mothers and babies.

First: the impact on the baby

●In the mother's belly, macrosomia is more likely to develop malformations such as congenital heart disease.

●After birth, macrosomia are more likely to have low blood sugar.

●In childhood, babies with macrosomia are more likely to be obese.

●When they grow up, macrosomia are more likely to develop diabetes and high blood pressure than normal people because they are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome.

Second: the impact on mom

Fat mothers have more difficulty giving birth than the average person.

●Mothers are prone to illness. Common risk factors include gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, oligohydramnios, pregnancy and obesity. Severe cases will also include pregnancy with heart failure, severe preeclampsia,

●If the baby is overweight and the baby is large, it is easy to have a difficult birth. Macrosomia can cause babies to injure the birth canal, leading to tears or side cuts, and in many cases only caesarean sections.

●Giving anesthetics is difficult. If the anesthetic does not enter the spinal canal, general anesthesia is required, and general anesthesia may affect the baby.

●Caesarean section is difficult. The incision process is slow and the suture process is slow.

●Massive postpartum hemorrhage. If the baby is macrosomia, it increases the risk of weak uterine muscle fictites after delivery, which may directly lead to postpartum haemorrhage.

●Uterine rupture. If a caesarean section or uterine surgery has been performed before, fetal macrosomia increases the risk of uterine rupture, a rare and serious complication.

●Postpartum recovery challenges are greater. Postpartum tests are faced with postoperative risks such as blood clots, wound fat liquefaction, etc.

It can be said that fat babies caused by overweight may encounter more health risks, and fat mothers have more difficulties than the average person to give birth.

8 ways to control mom and baby's weight

Avoiding being overweight is about protecting yourself and your baby

To control weight during pregnancy, it is inseparable from a scientific diet and moderate exercise, and doing the following can help mothers better control their weight and avoid overweight.

First: reduce the intake of high-fat foods

Excessive intake of high-calorie snacks can lead to weight gain during pregnancy and make postpartum recovery more difficult, and if you're hungry, choose healthy snacks such as non-fried crepes, low-fat yogurt, fresh fruit, vegetable spreads, or whole-grain crackers.

Second: eat fewer sweets and high-calorie snacks

Biscuits, candy, doughnuts, cakes, syrups, honey, all have a lot of calories, try not to eat these foods every day. Instead, try fresh fruit, low-fat yogurt, etc. as a low-calorie snack.

Third: Drink less sugary drinks

Sweet drinks such as soft drinks, fruit drinks, fruit drinks, iced teas, lemonade or powdered drink mixtures have a lot of calories. It is best to choose water, soda or mineral water directly to reduce extra calories when replenishing body fluids.

Fourth: Check the label

Choose foods that are low in fat, sugar, salt and fiber. Remember, portion sizes matter, so remember to save the serving sizes specified on nutrition labels, as multiple servings of low-calorie foods add quite a few calories.

Fifth: Eat small, frequent meals

Pregnancy does not need to eat two servings, if it is a healthy weight pregnant mother, add 340 calories per day in the second trimester, 450 calories per day in the third trimester, eat small and multiple meals throughout the day, eat lean protein-rich foods, and eat fruits and vegetables.

Sixth: Drink plenty of water

Pregnant mothers should drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, it is important to replenish water, drinking water can also prevent constipation, and consuming enough water will help keep the body moving forward and prevent uncomfortable bloating.

Judging by the color of the urine can tell if the body is hydrated: if the urine is dark yellow or cloudy, it means that you need to rehydrate.

Seventh: Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day

As long as it is a healthy pregnant mother, regular exercise every day is beneficial to weight control, you can choose walking, low-intensity aerobic exercise, swimming and riding a stationary bicycle, half an hour a day, at least 150 minutes a week, remember: exercise during pregnancy to take your time, remember safety first, before starting pregnancy exercise, the indicators of the pregnancy test should be normal and approved by the doctor, and then start exercising.

Eighth: Weigh regularly to control your weight

At each prenatal visit, talk to your doctor or midwife about weight gain, and if you are overweight, your doctor will give a reasonable opinion, which is good for a smooth birth and the health of you and your baby.

So how do pregnant mothers know how much weight they should gain during pregnancy to be healthy?

BMI can be used to define how thin you are and how much weight you should gain.

Body mass index (BMI) is calculated as: BMI = square of body weight (kg) / height (m).

When the BMI before pregnancy < 18.5 (thin), the weight gain is in the range of 13~18 kg.

18.5< BMI <26 (appropriate), weight gain in 11~16 kg.

26<BMI<29 (fat), weight gain in 7~11 kg.

BMI greater than 29 (obesity), weight gain in 7~9 kg.

For example, before pregnancy weight 45 kg, height 165, BMI calculated is 16.53, thin, pregnancy weight gain range is 13 ~ 18 kg, the above values are for reference only, each mother's physical condition is different, the specific weight gain range is subject to the doctor's recommendation.

At the same time, pregnant mothers should also control the rate of increase.

The baby in the first trimester is very small, and your weight gain is best controlled at 1~2 kg. Some pregnant mothers may be a little lighter because of discomfort, which doesn't matter, you can add weight back later.

It is best to increase 0.5~0.7 kg per week in the second trimester, and the overall is 5.5~6.6 kg.

It is best to increase 0.5 kg per week in the third trimester, and the overall control is 3.5~4.5 kg.

Some mothers may find it difficult to grow at a constant rate according to this standard. Take it easy, as long as the total weight gain reaches the standard, the overall weight gain speed is relatively stable, and you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself.

During pregnancy, it is best to choose a certain day of the week, weigh yourself on the same day of the week, and use the same scale to track weight gain.

If you've grown more weight than planned, don't worry too much and don't diet to lose weight. Consult your doctor to adjust your weight gain plan and try to control your weight in the next stage.

I hope all the best for the little pregnant women!
