Abstract: No matter what the method of childbirth, the safety of mother and child is the most perfect result!
A while ago, the launch of "New Life Diary" made many new mothers learn a lot of pregnancy knowledge and further understand pregnancy and childbirth.
From Medina's 1-hour super fast birth, to Li Ai's 10-minute emergency delivery, to Chen Ran's caesarean section, to the recent due date in the final Ma Jianyue also successfully unloaded, four mothers four different births, the birth of a child, really everyone experiences differently.
Among the 4 guests, Ma Jianyue's grade is the youngest and the bravest, and in the second trimester of pregnancy, he set up a flag, did not want to fight painlessly, must have a normal birth, and wanted to try to give birth in water.
But helplessly, the baby did not cooperate, and all expectations and plans were broken.
Ma Jianyue's due date is October 21, and on the day of the due date, the baby is still as stable as Tarzan in the belly, and has no intention of moving.
As a mother waiting to give birth, Ma Jianyue is unresponsive in action, walking like a fly every day, but his heart is very anxious, and every day is thinking about when this "little nail household" will start.
Just repeat the first day, the second day, the third day..... Wait, wait, wait, by the sixth day, I was desperate, thinking", "You love to come out, anyway, I will go to the hospital tomorrow to induce labor." ”
Because the baby's repetition is also dangerous, so Ma Jianyue about 41 weeks into the hospital to give birth, the night before the admission, Ma Jianyue let her husband take out the prepared baby waiting bag, he also packed his own "waiting bag", air cushion loose powder eyeshadow blush mascara..... Thinking about shooting a video, I have to put on makeup.
By 41 weeks, Ma Jianyue was hospitalized for delivery, the amniotic fluid was also broken on the same day, and the induction of labor was also hung.
But this oxytocin was three days in one beating, and it was difficult to stay up until the uterine mouth opened to three fingers, and the beating was painless, thinking that victory was in sight.
But after 50 hours of labor pain, because of the weakness of the contractions, I couldn't open my fingers.
Because the water break is too long, the antibiotics are given three times, coupled with the weakness of the contractions, the strength of the contractions in childbirth cannot be reached, and the baby cannot go down.
For the sake of safety, in the end, he could only give birth to a big fat boy of 8 pounds, with a height of 52 centimeters, and the mother and child were safe.
Ma Jianyue, who has experienced two ways of childbirth, said in her words when talking about her own childbirth experience: "My hands were shaking when the contractions came, and 5 people supported her when she got out of bed for the first time after giving birth." ”
Don't fight painlessly, want to have a smooth delivery, want to stay up to 6 fingers of water to give birth, each of these ideas has been broken by the little guy one by one.
When netizens asked about the cosmetics prepared before admission, Ma Jianyue said: "I don't want to look at it when I am in pain." ”
This feeling is really only understood by mothers who have experienced it.
Although the experience of giving birth to a baby was not so smooth, fortunately, the mother and child were safe, and all the pain was worth it.
We all know that childbirth is a series of intense, repetitive muscle contractions that help push the baby out of the womb and into the birth canal, where the baby cannot go down without the strength required for childbirth.
What we call contraction pain feels like contractions in the lower back and abdomen, and contractions help to enlarge the opening of the vagina (called the cervix), which can help the baby to be born smoothly.
The average birth time for first-born mothers is about 12 to 18 hours, and for second-born mothers to give birth is usually faster, usually only half the time.
Ma Jianyue's situation of weak contractions and stagnation of labor is called: prolonged labor.
Prolongation of labour can be judged by the length of labour, whether the cervix is thinner, whether an opening was opened during labour, and if your baby is not born after about 20 hours of routine contractions, you are likely to extend the delivery time.
Causes of prolonged labour are:
● The baby is very large and cannot pass through the birth canal.
●Incorrect fetal position is not normal. Normally, your baby's head is facing down on your back.
●The birth canal is too small for babies to pass.
● Your contractions are weak (very weak).
In these cases, doctors consider circumferential caesarean section to avoid complications if the baby is unable to pass through the birth canal during vaginal delivery, or if the labor process does not progress due to contractile weakness and the cervix becomes thinner and slower.
Prolonged labour due to contractile weakness is responsible for nearly one-third of mothers undergoing a metasection, which occurs when a new mother gives birth for 20 hours or more.
For a normal childbirth, contractions are getting longer, stronger, and more frequent because they are trying to dilate the cervix.
In early childbirth, that is, between the opening of the uterus and the three fingers, the contractions will be relatively mild, and the tightening time will range from 30 seconds to 90 seconds, but the contractions are regular, occur every certain time, they may be far apart at the beginning, but when you are about to urinate, they should be only 5 minutes apart.
Contractions become more intense during the active stages of childbirth than in the early stages of childbirth, during which time your cervix will open from 4 cm to 10 cm before pushing your baby into the outside world.
You may feel every contraction of your body. They may start on your back and move around your torso to your abdomen. Your legs may also have cramps and pain.
In active childbirth, contractions generally last 45 to 60 seconds, with a break of 3 to 5 minutes in between, at this time you should be in the hospital ready to give birth, if you feel this contractions at home, you must go to the hospital immediately.
When the cervix expands from 7 cm to 10 cm, the pattern of contractions changes, with contractions lasting 60 to 90 seconds, with only 30 seconds to 2 minutes of rest in between. Your contractions may even overlap as your body prepares to push.
If the tocostolic intensity is not as strong as childbirth, a prolonged labor period increases your risk of a metasection and is dangerous for your baby, which can lead to:
●Infant hypoxia
●Infantile arrhythmias
●Abnormal substances in amniotic fluid
●Uterine infection
If your baby is in a dangerous situation, you will need emergency autopsies, at which point the doctor will pay close attention to you and your baby's condition.
Although the mother of the circumference is guilty twice, sometimes emergency autopsy can avoid serious complications.
In addition to the fact that prolonged labour may result in a metasect section, these emergencies may also require a metasection:
1. Amniotic fluid pollution
If meconium in the amniotic fluid can be seen after the amniotic fluid rupture, or if there are dark green spots or streaks in the amniotic fluid, be sure to tell the doctor immediately, who will use a fetal monitor during childbirth to see if there are any signs of fetal distress at your baby's heart rate.
Doctors monitor the baby's fetal distress during childbirth, and doctors pay close attention to any signs of meconium inhalation, and may require a metasection if the amniotic fluid is very cloudy or if there is tertiary contamination of amniotic fluid as reported by the mother of a pregnant fan.
Because inhalation of feces by the fetus can partially or completely block the baby's airway, although air can flow through the meconium when the baby breathes, meconium can become trapped in the respiratory tract when the baby exhales. Meconium can irritate the baby's airway and make it difficult to breathe.
2. Fetal distress
Fetal distress is a rare labor complication. It usually occurs when the fetus is not receiving enough oxygen.
Fetal distress may occur in:
●Pregnancy lasts too long (premature maturation).
●Other complications of pregnancy or childbirth (e.g., difficult or rapid delivery).
Usually, doctors identify fetal distress based on abnormal patterns of the fetus's heart rate. Monitor the fetal heart rate throughout childbirth. Usually monitored continuously through electronic fetal heartbeat monitoring.
Contractions that are too intense and/or too tight can lead to fetal distress. If oxytocin is used to stimulate uterine contractions, stop immediately. If no medication is used to stimulate contractions, then women can be given medications that can slow childbirth to stop or slow down contractions.
If these measures to correct fetal heart rate or control contractions are ineffective, forceps intervention or urgent autopsy section is required.
3. Uterine rupture
According to the American Pregnancy Association, about 90 percent of caesarean section mothers can have a vaginal delivery at their next delivery. This is called vaginal delivery (VBAC) after caesarean section.
Expectant mothers can discuss with their doctor whether they can vbac, but even if all the indications are consistent with vbac, if there is an emergency during the vaginal delivery, such as a ruptured uterus, it is necessary to switch to a caesarean section.
4, cpd is not proportional
CPD refers to the fact that the baby is too small for the intended mother to be born vaginally, or if the baby's head is too large to have children.
In either case, the baby cannot safely pass through the vagina, which requires a laparotomy.
5. Sudden and unexpected situation
Cord or placental problems, preeclampsia, sudden changes in breech position, or no progression in labour usually require an emergency caesarean section.
For example, if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, the fetal heart drops as soon as the fetus is contracted, and when the placenta is prematurely peeled, an emergency caesarean section is also necessary.
There are also some mothers, along with the baby's fetal position is not correct, or the baby's head position is too high, is not down, if the water break time is too long, then continue to wait is dangerous, these situations need to be turned around.
The last thing to say is that everyone's childbirth is unique, some mothers have a smooth birth, and some mothers have gone through twists and turns.
Just like these mothers who have undergone a rotational section, it is not easy to give birth to a baby after experiencing two kinds of pain.
But we can't control the sudden accidents, and we can't change some of the structure of the body, and all we can do is be ready for the arrival of the baby.
No matter what the method of childbirth, the safety of mother and child is the most perfect result!
