How long does it take to deliver? What should I prepare for delivery?

Mothers whose due date is approaching can prepare to go to the hospital and wait for the baby to be born, but how long does it take from labor to delivery, and what should they prepare to go to the hospital?

In fact, this time is also uncertain. Just like it is impossible to know the exact time of delivery. But if it is already in the stage of threatened labor, it means it will happen in the next few days. Secondly, if the amniotic fluid breaks, the cervix opens, etc., it means that delivery is imminent.

Although we cannot know the exact time of delivery, we can make full preparations before this time comes, stay in the hospital in advance, or contact the hospital in advance, etc. In addition, when the delivery is approaching, there will be symptoms of frequent urination. Don't be nervous, the symptoms are normal, so everyone should maintain a healthy mentality. I wish you all good health.

1. Wear at least one pair of trousers and one pair of cotton socks, which should be worn on the second day after delivery to keep warm;

2. Clothes to wear when leaving the hospital; the hat you wear when leaving the hospital can be the same hat you wore during surgery, which is windproof and not too hot;

3. Toiletries (towel, toothbrush, washbasin, comb). I started washing myself and brushing my teeth as soon as I could get out of bed.

4. Hand sanitizer;

5. Comfortable slippers;

6. For one-time use of toilet pads, it is recommended to buy one bag first, which is basically enough;

7. Straw: Be sure to buy the kind with a bendable top. After surgery, you can only lie in bed for 24 hours, so it is very convenient to use such a straw after drinking water;

8. Facial tissue: You will sweat a lot after giving birth, so you can also prepare a few sweat-absorbing towels;

9. It is recommended to prepare at most one pack of postpartum sanitary napkins. The ones issued by the hospital should be enough;

10. Disposable underwear: It is recommended to prepare at least one pack. Postpartum lochia is more likely to contaminate clothes, so it is more convenient to wear disposable underwear. Hospital canteens also sell them.

Pregnant women need to undergo a vaginal examination before giving birth, because vaginal examination can determine the size of the pelvis and whether the pregnant woman can give birth naturally. Blood pressure should also be checked, because blood pressure changes at any time, so a blood pressure check can determine whether the pregnant woman has high blood pressure, because if there is high blood pressure, it will affect the development and production of the fetus. Basic examinations can be performed, such as measuring the weight of the pregnant woman to prevent the weight of the pregnant woman from exceeding the normal range, and Doppler examinations can also be performed to comprehensively check the health of the fetus.

We all know that prenatal contractions are the pain that occurs before childbirth. As the time of prenatal labor pains shortens, the pain will become stronger and stronger, and the duration will also become very long. At the beginning, it will occur every ten minutes, and the pain will last for a few seconds. The pain is also regular. Then it will hurt every three minutes, and the pain will last longer. Then it will hurt every one minute. After about twenty minutes of pain, the doctor will determine whether the situation and pelvis are suitable for childbirth. If they are all suitable, the pregnant mother will be allowed to go to the delivery room for childbirth.

When pregnant mothers have uterine contractions before giving birth, they can relieve pain. Music can relax people and also have an analgesic effect. When uterine contractions occur frequently, pregnant mothers should distract their attention, not think about the pain, try to watch TV or talk to family members. Family members should also give encouragement, try to calm and encourage pregnant mothers. The body should also be relaxed as much as possible during uterine contractions. At this time, pregnant mothers can lie down against something and take deep breaths to relieve pain.

If there are regular uterine contractions before delivery, it means that the delivery is not far away. In addition to relieving the pain caused by uterine contractions, pregnant mothers should not be too nervous, otherwise it will be difficult to deliver. In order to welcome the arrival of the fetus, pregnant mothers must conserve their physical strength.
