What is the pain when the stomach hurts during childbirth?

The most painful time for women is when giving birth. Contractions will occur before delivery, but women can bear the pain at this time, and the pain comes in waves. The duration of contractions varies depending on the condition of the pregnant woman. Therefore, before a woman gives birth, the expectant father should be by her side to divert the mother's attention and help her do appropriate exercises, which can relieve the pain. Replenishing physical strength before giving birth can help pregnant women give birth faster.

How does the stomach hurt when giving birth?

As time goes by, the pain becomes more and more intense. If a first-time mother experiences pain every 10 to 15 minutes and lasts for more than 30 seconds, she needs to contact a doctor to prepare for delivery. Usually, prenatal labor pains can last for nearly 16-18 hours. Pregnant mothers should divert their attention appropriately or take massage methods to relieve pain. They must relax and stay calm. If you give birth naturally, the doctor will let you eat some chocolate or ginseng soup before giving birth to replenish your energy. The doctor will also be there to give you professional guidance, so just relax and cooperate with the doctor.

How to relieve labor pains:

1. Divert attention: If the pregnant mother focuses on breathing, she will feel relaxed and quickly divert her attention. If she is afraid of pain, it will cause muscle tension and make the pain worse, so she must relax and stay calm.

2. Appropriate activities: When you feel pain, you can constantly change your lying position or walk around. This will not only relieve the pain, but also the effect of gravity when walking will help with childbirth. Don't move during the period when the pain stops and between contractions. This is the time for the fetus to rest. Pregnant mothers should not be too anxious.

3. Massage: If the pain is unbearable, applying external force can relieve the pain. At this time, asking the husband or family members to massage the hands and feet can also distract the mother's attention appropriately, making her feel safe and cared for.

So what can you eat before giving birth so that expectant mothers can quickly accumulate physical strength?

Key points for feeding during the first stage of labor:

The first stage of labor starts with regular uterine contractions with an interval of 5-6 minutes until the cervix is ​​fully dilated. This stage is relatively long and will take the expectant mother about 11 hours. Because the labor lasts for a long time, the expectant mother's sleep, rest and diet will be affected by the labor pains. In order to ensure that she has enough physical strength and energy to complete the delivery, this period of time becomes the best time for the expectant mother to replenish her physical strength.

During the intervals between labor pains, expectant mothers should seize the opportunity to eat as much as possible. The diet at this time should be mainly supplemented with rich sugar, protein and vitamins. It is best for the expectant father to provide the expectant mother with semi-liquid or soft and easily digestible food, such as hot soup noodles, lean meat porridge, small wontons, bread, etc. are all good foods. Expectant mothers should not stop eating because of unbearable pain, as this will affect the progress of your delivery.

Second stage of labor diet tips:

The second stage of labor is the time from when the uterus is fully dilated to when the baby is delivered. At this time, the contractions of the uterus become regular, and the severe pain will increase the physical consumption of the expectant mother. At this time, the expectant mother may not have the energy to eat foods that require chewing.

Therefore, it is best for the expectant father to prepare some liquid foods such as fruit juice, lotus root powder, brown sugar water, etc. for her to replenish her physical strength at this stage, and let the expectant mother eat some during the interval between contractions. Therefore, you need to prepare a straw cup for liquid food in your delivery bag, which is also more convenient to use.
