How to record the true process of a woman giving birth

It will take some time for a pregnant woman to go from the beginning of reaction to the end of delivery, so how to record the real process of a woman's delivery? Generally speaking, the time required from the beginning of regular contractions to the completion of delivery is not very long, but it still takes some time for the cervix to open in the early stage. The subsequent delivery process will be relatively smooth. Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

During the first stage, there will be regular abdominal cramps. As the cervix opens, the pain lasts longer and longer, while the intervals between pains become shorter and shorter. Because the cervix opens slowly, the first stage of delivery is the most time-consuming, and it takes about 8-12 hours for a first-time mother to give birth.

The second stage of labor begins when the cervix is ​​fully dilated (10 cm) until the baby is born. Usually, it takes 1-2 hours for a first-time mother to have labor pains, and the labor pains become more intense, from every 2-3 minutes to every one minute, and there will be a feeling of waves. At this time, you should cooperate with the wave of contractions and push downwards with force as if you were having a bowel movement. The mother does not need to worry too much, let alone kick and scream. She should let nature take its course, be careful not to contract her feet, and not touch the disinfected parts of her body.

After the head is delivered, the baby's head begins to rotate clockwise. Then after a while, the right shoulder is delivered. At this time, the doctor will put his hands together and apply a little force on the mother's back to press the baby's head down, delivering the right shoulder first. Then, he will lift the baby's head upward (the mother's ventral side) to deliver the left shoulder. After the head is delivered, it only takes 2-3 minutes for the whole body of the fetus to be delivered. The mother suddenly feels relieved. Then, the doctor uses a straw to suck out the amniotic fluid and blood from the baby's nose and mouth. The baby's cry is the proof of his health.

After the baby is delivered, the uterus will become smaller and harder due to contraction. After 5-30 minutes, the placenta will be detached and delivered. There is no severe pain and it can be completed smoothly with just a little force. There will be bleeding during the delivery of the placenta, but it is only a small amount and there is no need to worry. If the delivery process is not smooth, the doctor may consider performing an episiotomy, etc., which will require suturing and disinfection, so the mother needs to be patient. After the baby is born, the doctor will cut the umbilical cord and clean its body. Then place the naked body under the mother's chest for early sucking.

The above is a general introduction to how to record the actual process of a woman’s childbirth. The tasks that need to be completed in each period and stage are different. Pregnant women still need to be prepared for childbirth before and after the due date. Once some signs appear, they must hurry to the hospital to avoid unexpected situations.
