A modern woman has a unique opportunity to prepare herself in the most thorough way for the process of resolution of the burden, which can not be said about our ancestors. Knowledge and understanding of each stage of childbirth allows the pregnant woman to feel confident and keep the situation under control. In medical practice, it is customary to distinguish three main "transshipment points", with which we will get acquainted more closely.
The first stage of labor
It is also called the period of labor , it is the most painful and prolonged. The first painful sensations do not last longer than a minute, and the break between them can be 15 minutes. But the bouts are growing, and soon begin to occur at intervals of 1-3 minutes, while at the same time 30-90 seconds. For the entire "contraction" stage, which can take about 18-20 hours, the uterine neck is opened and softened. The kid, who is in the mother's womb, begins to worry, which can well be passed on to the mother. A woman needs to survive this period as calmly as possible, in what obstetricians or relatives should help her.The second stage of childbirth
At this time, the child is moving along the birth canal, the bones of the mother and the fetus seem to "adjust" to each other. The baby is very difficult, so Mamma should stop feeling sorry for herself and listen to her feelings. Any pain can be a signal to take a more comfortable posture. That is why it is worthwhile to practice childbirth sitting on all fours or in the water. Do not forcefully make attempts more powerful, trying to quickly make a child to the light and otmuchatsya. Nature must take its own, and excessive zeal does not always lead to good. It is possible the appearance of a hematoma on the body of a child, which appeared due to the squeezing of the muscles and too rapid advancement in the vagina.
What happens at the 3rd stage of childbirth?
After the baby was born, the woman still has to pluck out of herself and the placenta.
A young mother needs to be morally ready for the fact that during the three stages of childbirth, something can go wrong. And it's not necessarily an emergency or a very bad situation. It's just that every organism undergoes this stress in different ways, and the level of preparation of each woman has its own. It is possible that a woman who is in a natural birth will have to agree to a cesarean, if circumstances so require.
