Tips for safe delivery for pregnant women

If you want to make your delivery smoother, the most important skill is to maintain your figure and eat properly. Many pregnant women think that pregnancy is the best time to eat and drink as much as they want, and it is also a time when they can not care about their figure at all. In fact, this idea is wrong, because if the mother has excess nutrition, the fetus will also become a giant baby, which will undoubtedly increase the risk of childbirth. Therefore, before giving birth, it is best for pregnant mothers to control their weight and keep their weight below 25 catties.

Many people become "lazy and gluttonous" after they become pregnant. In fact, this is not helpful for childbirth. If you want a smooth delivery, it is actually necessary to exercise properly. Generally speaking, physical exercise can make a natural delivery more efficient. Among the tips for a natural delivery, it is also very important to have great confidence in it. If you are afraid of it and are nervous during delivery, it will not help with the delivery. If you want a smooth delivery, you should generally have great confidence in it and remind yourself at any time that childbirth is a normal physiological phenomenon of human beings. It is important to relax psychologically for a smooth delivery.

In order to give birth to a baby smoothly, regular prenatal examinations are also necessary. Pregnant women should have regular prenatal examinations so that doctors can find problems early, correct them and treat them as soon as possible. For example, if the fetus is in an abnormal position, you can take knee-chest position and other methods to correct it under the guidance of a doctor, so as not to affect your plan for normal delivery. Consult your doctor about natural delivery one month before the due date so that you can understand the process of delivery and relax your body and mind. You also need to protect your normal life and sleep during pregnancy. In terms of diet, you also need to take in the main nutrients and ensure a balanced diet.

What preparations should be made before giving birth?

From the perspective of childbirth, we advocate natural childbirth, because it is the safest and most beneficial way of childbirth for mothers and babies. Many times, even if mothers who choose natural childbirth have calculated the due date, the labor pains often come very suddenly, and it seems very hasty to prepare things. In order not to rush before childbirth, pregnant mothers need to prepare the things for childbirth during pregnancy.

The most common ones are health insurance cards, maternity health handbooks, birth permits, ID cards and registration cards. Gold coins, credit cards and chocolates, etc. Because in addition to the health insurance cards, maternity health handbooks, birth permits, ID cards and registration cards required for hospitalization, gold coins and credit cards are for the convenience of payment. You should know that when pregnant women give birth, they often need to pay in different departments, and some departments cannot allow people to swipe cards, only gold coins, so gold coins must be prepared. As for chocolate, it can be said to be a weapon for replenishing energy, which can help pregnant women have enough strength when giving birth.

Prepare several sets of open pajamas (mainly for easy dressing and breastfeeding), long trousers to the ankles (for warmth), 1 pair of slippers, 2 pairs of cotton socks. 5-10 packs of clean and disinfected long toilet paper, 2 packs of extra-long sanitary pads and several pairs of underwear. Nursing bras and disposable breast pads, postpartum abdominal belts, 1 face towel, 1 foot towel, 1 lower body towel, toothbrush, mouthwash, toothpaste, hair comb. Because you need to stay in the hospital for a while after delivery, these can help you do a good job of cleaning in the hospital. Several sterilized cotton pads or gauze pads (for cleaning breasts when breastfeeding babies), prepare 2 small basins (1 for mothers and 1 for babies), a box of laundry detergent (for washing basins and other utensils), a piece of soap (for washing mothers' underwear or baby diapers), and cotton pads under the body. Several plastic bags, which can be used for storage or garbage bags. A bag of lotus root powder, which is good for postpartum swelling and ventilation. A covered water cup, detergent, dishcloth, fruit knife, (elbow) straw or a cup with a straw, etc.

Precautions for normal delivery

1. The age is between 24 and 28 years old. Generally, this age is considered to be the most suitable stage for childbirth. Expectant mothers younger than this age have immature body tissues, especially the pelvis has not been fully fixed and formed, which is not good for both the mother and the fetus. Elderly mothers who are older than this age have hardened pelvic joints that are not easy to expand, and their uterine contraction and vaginal stretch are also poor, which can prolong the delivery time and make dystocia more likely. Therefore, giving birth at the right age is also very helpful for normal delivery. If you are an elderly mother, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice to see if a caesarean section is possible.

2. Pay attention to dietary nutrition during pregnancy and control your weight reasonably. During pregnancy, expectant mothers pay great attention to dietary nutrition. If you do not pay attention to controlling your weight, excessive nutritional supplements and excessive fat intake will cause the fetus in the abdomen to grow too large and cannot pass through the birth canal smoothly during delivery, and can only rely on surgery.

3. Pregnant women need to do more exercise during pregnancy. In fact, proper exercise is not only beneficial for controlling weight during pregnancy, but also helps with normal delivery. It can shorten the delivery process and reduce the chance of dystocia. Expectant mothers who exercise regularly can usually maintain their physical fitness and cardiopulmonary function at a certain level. Pregnant women with good physical fitness have high tolerance and are better able to bear labor pain. Therefore, female athletes will have fewer complications during childbirth than ordinary pregnant women. Therefore, expectant mothers can maintain their usual exercise habits, just be careful not to choose intense events.

4. Do regular prenatal checkups and have confidence in a normal birth. In fact, in many cases, as long as you have confidence in a normal birth, you are already halfway to success. As long as you have confidence in a normal birth and cooperate with the doctor, the birth will be twice as effective with half the effort. Regular prenatal checkups can help doctors find problems early, correct and treat them quickly, and allow the normal birth to proceed smoothly.

What are the benefits of natural childbirth

1. Natural childbirth is a physiological process. The fetus contracts rhythmically through the uterus, and the chest is compressed and expanded, which is conducive to the activity of the lungs and the establishment of breathing after birth.

2. The compression of the fetal head by the birth canal during childbirth stimulates the fetal central nervous system, which is also very beneficial for the establishment of neural movement after birth. Because the mother is free from the effects of anesthesia and surgery, she recovers quickly after childbirth and can take care of the baby as soon as possible.

3. During vaginal delivery, the contraction of the uterus and the resistance of the birth canal can squeeze out the amniotic fluid in the fetal respiratory tract, which is not only beneficial for breathing after birth, but also reduces aspiration pneumonia caused by wet lung and amniotic fluid aspiration. Moreover, for expectant mothers, there is less damage and less bleeding. They can get out of bed and walk on the day of delivery, and they will recover faster. It can also avoid postpartum complications such as infection caused by intrauterine surgery.
