The process of childbirth

1 The first stage of labor is cervical dilatation, from contraction to complete cervical opening (10cm). It takes 1 1- 12 hours for primiparas and 6-8 hours for multiparas. In this process, your feeling is that the uterine contraction is from weak to strong, from less to more. This more and more frequent uterine contraction often makes pregnant mothers who give birth for the first time nervous and have mood swings.

The latent period of uterine contraction is gradually strengthened, and it usually takes 8- 16 hours for the cervical canal to disappear until the cervical opening is 3cm. If the first stage of labor is more than 20 hours, it is an abnormal situation.

In the active stage, the cervix is 3cm to fully open, and the exposed part of the fetus enters the middle of the pelvis, lasting about 4-8 hours. After the exposed part entered the pelvis, the parturient began to feel the urgent need to hold her breath downward. However, when the cervix is not open, she should avoid holding her breath downward to avoid tearing the cervix and wasting her strength.

Countermeasures at this stage, we must relax our body and mentality, change various body postures and make ourselves in a comfortable state, which can alleviate the pain caused by uterine contraction;

Frequent emptying of urine is conducive to the decline of the fetus;

The companionship and encouragement of family members are very important. We should encourage and praise expectant mothers more, strengthen their confidence in natural childbirth together, let expectant mothers eat on time and ensure abundant physical strength.

2 The second stage of labor means that the second stage of labor is the delivery period of the fetus, which generally lasts for 2 hours. At this time, the parturient will feel the pain of uterine contraction relieved, but involuntary defecation will occur during uterine contraction, which is caused by the fetal head pressing the rectum; As the uterus contracts, the pregnant woman will naturally hold her breath downwards and the fetal head will also drop.

Countermeasures between contractions, you should rest as much as possible, and try your best when the uterus contracts;

Learn to hold your breath correctly, exert downward force while contracting, and mobilize the strength of rectus abdominis and levator ani to help the fetus deliver smoothly;

When the fetal head is about to be delivered, you should open your mouth and breathe, so as to avoid delivering the fetal head too hard and too fast, and don't press it hard to avoid serious perineal laceration.

The third stage of labor shows that the third stage of labor is the period of placenta delivery. After the delivery of the fetus, the placenta began to peel off after 1 ~ 2 contractions, and a small amount of bleeding appeared. After giving birth to the baby, the pregnant mother will have a sense of relief and relief, and the birth of the baby will also sweep away the pain and fatigue of childbirth.

Countermeasures At this time, under the guidance of medical staff, hold your breath hard to assist the delivery of placenta. Usually within 30 minutes, the placenta will be completely delivered;
