Labor at birth

"Aware - it means, it is armed!" - this principle perfectly suits the process of birth. Of course, the maternal instinct will do its job without knowing the details of the mystery of birth, but to give the right person a new man, without harm to the health of the mother and the newborn, can only be armed with knowledge. After all, you give your main, we hope, not the last exam in life ...

So, meditation on the topic "Childbirth" is in full swing. You, thanks to the use of previously learned breathing techniques, have painlessly transferred a sufficiently long first stage of labor - fights that open the cervix. And, despite their quickening and strengthening, warming the soul of the thought of an impending meeting with their baby, they give even more strength in order to help the defenseless child to see the world. Suddenly there is simply an unreal desire to go to the toilet "in large" - this is the moment when attempts begin. Congratulations, a little more, and you will become a mom!

The main thing here is not to succumb to the desire of the body to empty the intestines, even if just unbearable. Think about the baby, breathe, breathe, and breathe again. Failure to comply with this rule, unauthorized actions, self-pity can lead to trauma, hypoxia of the fetus (during this period, the baby needs oxygen in particular), unjustified cervical rupture (if it is not fully opened) and the perineum. To begin to push it is necessary, if the head of the child has completely passed the birth canal and is located in the pelvic floor. Thus, only when the midwife, having made sure of the correct location of the head, resolves, taking a deep breath, pull out of the last strength, straining the press and directing the efforts, as when emptying the intestine.

Labor in childbirth: what happens in the body?

Labor at birth is the process of passing a child through the birth canal (about 10 cm) during labor as a result of involuntary contraction of the muscles of the diaphragm and the abdominal press. Increase in intra-abdominal and intrauterine pressure, provided that the cervix is ​​fully opened, promotes the fetal head downward, which results in squeezing the walls of the rectum and pelvic floor. All this creates a urge to defecate or so-called "exertion".

If before the birth you have taken measures to cleanse the intestines, then about the possible excrement you should not worry: there is nothing to defecate. If there was no cleansing, accidental defecation should not bother you. In this situation, this phenomenon is natural and often occurring. Attempts to control their shipments will only interfere with the normal course of labor. The health of a child is much more important than these experiences, is not it?

Duration of the period of attempts

A few words about how long attempts last. On average, this period takes about half an hour. And its duration is influenced by a woman, a "first-born" or a woman. And if the first attempts can last up to 2 hours, then the last, in view of the prepared birth canal after the previous birth, the period of attempts can be 5 minutes.

How to breathe properly in attempts?

Breath during the attempts, as in the period of labor - a component of successful delivery. So, for a full-fledged inspiration on the attempt, you first need to exhale well. Then:

1. We take a deep breath.
2. Hold your breath, straining the muscles of the press.
3. Strengthen the pressure on the pelvis, as if pushing the fruit.
4. Smoothly, yes, yes, it is exhaled smoothly (a "jerk" can lead to trauma to the baby's head due to the fact that on this exhalation the head goes back).
5. Again, we breathe in and pull.

The entire algorithm of action must be repeated three times for the effort. After that, in order to rest and gain strength for the next attempt, you need to take a full breath and restore a calm, even breathing.

Behavior during attempts

Along with breathing, for successful delivery, you also need:

• trust the professionals: the midwife at this time should become the best friend to you and the future baby;
• in any case, even if you want, do not shout: this leads to weak attempts and deprives the baby of vital oxygen;
• do not control the likelihood of bowel movements and bladder.

In the attempt, you need to tightly press your chin to your chest, firmly grasping the handrails of the bed-chair, while resting on his special devices with his legs dilated and tucked up to the axillary hollows. Strengthening pain in the perineum during an attempt speaks about the correct actions and the movement of the baby "to the exit."

As a rule, in the middle of the tense period, in the fight and with attempts, at the exit of the vagina, the baby's head appears, which can disappear smoothly at the end of the bout - this is not a cause for concern. This is how the head is inserted. Already on the next fight, tuzhas three times for the effort on the command of the midwife, the baby's head will come out. To avoid ruptures, the midwife will do everything necessary to ensure that during the effort the baby's head gradually stretches the skin of the perineum. The head of the fetus erupts from the back of the head, then from the crown, and then it unbends. Before the face appears, it is forbidden to push. Then the newly born face is unfolded to the mother's left or right thigh, the hangers automatically turn, being born soon after each other, after which the trunk and legs easily exit.

Relief! You put on your belly your screaming jewel. Do not hold back emotions: rejoice or cry from happiness - you became a mother!
