Is childbirth painful?

Many new expectant mothers have proved one thing, that is, everyone is very concerned about whether giving birth is painful? This is a question that many friends who are having their first baby are very concerned about. In fact, there is no need to worry too much. The following article will introduce it in detail.

The pain caused by uterine contractions during labor goes from weak to strong, and the time interval becomes shorter and shorter. The first few hours are like dysmenorrhea (I felt pain for 7 hours at that time), with a dull pain. Later, it became more and more painful, and the time intervals became shorter and shorter. The pain was several times stronger than before. By the time the cervix was 8 to 10 centimeters open, it was so painful that it felt like death, as if my internal organs were falling out.... The process from when the cervix is ​​fully dilated and the baby is exposed to when it is completely separated from the mother's body is very fast. For an expectant mother who knows how to push, it only takes 10 minutes to half an hour to complete. The last step is to suture the wound. Usually local anesthesia will be given, so it won’t be very painful, but you can still feel the needle picking at each stitch, and it will be a little painful when the thread is pulled.

If you can give birth naturally, try to do so. There are many benefits:

1. More breast milk. Many women who deliver by caesarean section have no milk or very little milk.

2. The body recovers quickly! After a caesarean section, you have to lie flat on the bed for 6 hours without even a pillow. The incision will hurt, and the contractions will be even more painful after the injection. My sister-in-law didn't pay attention to the incision after her caesarean section, and a small thing grew inside it. It's been more than a year since she gave birth, and she had to have surgery again during the Chinese New Year to remove the thing inside.

3. Natural childbirth can reduce many gynecological diseases.

Mothers all say that the pain of natural childbirth is bearable. The first stage of labor, which lasts for more than ten hours, is just contractions. The second stage is not that painful. All you have to do is push as the doctor asks. And when the baby finally comes out, you feel especially relieved.

Now that you know whether childbirth is painful or not, I suggest that mothers should relax themselves before giving birth and not eat too much sugary foods, which will increase the pain. They should keep themselves in a good mood to face the upcoming birth, which can relieve the pain.
