Pregnant woman giving birth on the delivery bed

For pregnant women who are close to their due date, how to give birth safely and successfully is their biggest concern. Various questions also arise one after another, such as whether they need to prepare in advance for the posture during delivery.

Some also asked: What posture is most likely to lead to a normal birth next to the delivery bed?

In fact, childbirth is a very natural thing, just like our eating habits, everyone's eating habits will be different, similarly, the childbirth situation also varies from person to person, and the childbirth posture of pregnant women should be different for everyone.

Nowadays, in our hospital, the delivery position of pregnant women in supine position is basically the main focus. However, many pregnant women do not know that they can change the position at any time during the delivery.

In fact, which delivery posture of pregnant women is most likely to choose natural childbirth? Everyone's specific situation is different, so it is difficult to generalize. Which posture can better relieve the pain during childbirth, only the pregnant women themselves know best. Unless there are special complications and the delivery posture of pregnant women needs to be limited, otherwise it depends on the experience of the pregnant women.

However, no matter what kind of production posture, the method of applying strength is the same, and it will not be different due to changes in posture.

The first type: horizontal type:

This is the posture adopted by the vast majority of pregnant women. The pregnant woman lies flat on the bed with her legs spread and raised to facilitate the delivery of the baby and the assistance of the midwife. At present, most hospital delivery rooms adopt this delivery method.

However, some pregnant women find it difficult to exert strength when adopting this posture. In this case, they need to change their posture.

The second type: side lying:

The pregnant woman lay flat on her side on the bed, curled up her back, and we, the midwives, helped to stretch out one of her legs. The benefit of this posture is that pregnant women can exert more force and give birth to babies.

The third type: forward kneeling:

The pregnant woman puts her hands on the edge of the bed or on a support column, spreads her legs, and leans forward.

This posture is the best posture. A few days ago, a very popular overseas pregnant woman gave birth outdoors, and she adopted this posture. This posture is the easiest to give birth without the help of others, but it is not very elegant. Some young pregnant women are unwilling to adopt this posture, which is too ugly and has lost their lady's self-esteem.

Fourth type: standing type:

To put it simply, this posture requires the pregnant woman to stand upright, holding the upper guardrail with her hands or having someone to help her. This posture was more common in ancient times, and is now more common in Europe and the United States. The advantage is that due to the force of gravity, the fetus is easier to deliver under the action of gravity. The disadvantage is that it requires the pregnant woman to have strong lower limb strength to stand for several hours, which is also a test of the spirit.

The above are four common delivery postures for pregnant women. There are also some special postures. For example, some pregnant women have placental abruption when they are about to give birth. They must be hospitalized immediately and rest in bed. If the fetus has a high head position or a breech or transverse position, the bed legs must be raised to prevent umbilical cord prolapse.

But no matter what the posture is, it is to facilitate the smooth delivery of pregnant women. Pregnant women before delivery do not need to pay too much attention to these. The most important thing is to have a healthy baby.
