How to avoid accidents during childbirth

During pregnancy and childbirth, we must ensure the safety of pregnant women and prevent accidents. So how to avoid accidents during childbirth? What should pregnant women do if they give birth unexpectedly? The following editor will introduce you in detail.

How to avoid unexpected childbirth

1. The due date is advanced or postponed

When pregnant women are giving birth, the due date may often be advanced or postponed. The amniotic fluid may suddenly break unexpectedly and the pregnant women may be unprepared or unprepared, resulting in difficulties in delivery or not being able to be sent to the hospital in time. Pregnant women need to pay special attention to their bodies in the late pregnancy. Once any abnormality is found, they should lie down and rest immediately, do not move, and then call family members to help send them to the hospital.

2. Abnormal production

Some pregnant women cannot exert force during childbirth, are physically weak, and have insufficient labor force, which causes the baby to stay in the mother's abdomen for too long, resulting in dystocia and affecting health. Therefore, mothers need to maintain strength in normal times, have a balanced diet, eat small meals frequently, ensure adequate nutrition, and also need to exercise normally, stretch their legs and hands appropriately, take a walk, or do yoga, etc., which are all very beneficial to the health of pregnant women, and can also enhance labor force, so that mothers can have enough strength during normal childbirth and will not have dystocia.

3. Malposition of the fetus

During childbirth, pregnant women may have malposition of the fetus, mainly breech presentation and transverse presentation. If this happens, delivery will be difficult and will affect the health of the baby and the mother. Therefore, mothers need regular prenatal checkups. Prenatal checkups can confirm whether the fetal position is correct. If it is not correct, mothers can do some exercises to allow the baby to return to the correct position before delivery to facilitate delivery.

4. Do a good inspection

In the late pregnancy, mothers need to pay attention to their own check-ups, preferably once a week, so that if there are any problems, they can be adjusted in time. Even if the fetus is in an abnormal position, there is time to correct it. In addition, mothers may have difficulty exercising in the late pregnancy, so they should not lie down or sit lazily, but should walk around appropriately to increase muscle power to prevent insufficient labor. In addition, it is necessary to supplement nutrition, maintain adequate sleep and a happy mood, so that the child can be healthier and the delivery can be smoother.

What to do if a pregnant woman gives birth unexpectedly

Try to keep the environment around the pregnant woman clean, wipe it clean with newspapers, towels and other sundries, and eliminate the tension of the pregnant woman and prepare for delivery;

During childbirth, pregnant women need to maintain a proper breathing rhythm, and after the baby is born, the excess amniotic fluid in the baby's mouth should be sucked out; and the baby should be wrapped in warm and clean clothes. The enthusiastic people in this event did a very good job;

After delivery, the umbilical cord should not be blindly torn short by hands or bitten off by mouth. It is best to wait for the doctor to handle it. If the doctor does not arrive in time, ordinary scissors should be disinfected with alcohol or fire before use.

Early signs of labor

1. Labor pains: Labor pains refer to regular uterine contractions. The pains are mild at first, about ten to twenty minutes apart, and gradually become more frequent and intense, until there is a contraction about every 2 to 3 minutes. Some expectant mothers may feel back pain.

2. Bloody seeing: Bloody seeing refers to a small amount of blood-containing mucus flowing out of the vagina.

3. Broken water: Broken water means that the amniotic membrane that wraps the fetus is broken, and the amniotic fluid flows out. The expectant mother will feel water flowing out of the vagina. It may be a large amount of outflow such as incontinence, or it may be a continuous and slow leakage. Normal amniotic fluid is transparent and odorless.

What should you pay attention to during childbirth?

1. The mother can give the baby early sucking half an hour after delivery. Early sucking can stimulate milk secretion, promote uterine contraction, and prevent postpartum hemorrhage. After returning to the ward 2 hours after delivery, it is recommended to urinate frequently. Too much urine retention can easily cause postpartum hemorrhage. If you have the urge to urinate, but cannot urinate directly, or if you have not urinated for 3 hours after delivery, you need to inform the doctor and nurse. You can eat normally after a normal delivery. It is recommended to eat warm and easily digestible food and avoid raw and cold food. The mother needs enough rest at night, so family members should help take care of the newborn baby.

2. You can start confinement 2 days after delivery. The mother needs to strengthen nutrition and get out of bed and move around properly. It is recommended that the mother eat a balanced diet. In addition to chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs, etc., you also need to eat some vegetables and fruits. Although the milk secretion is small at this time, you should let the baby suck frequently. One is to promote milk secretion, and it can also avoid the nipple illusion caused by the baby sucking the bottle. In addition, the baby can build emotions with the mother.
