Can a woman with hypertension in late pregnancy give birth naturally?

By the late stages of pregnancy, the fetus in the womb has basically matured, so it will bring many, many, and relatively heavy burdens to the pregnant woman's body. Many women will experience some adverse conditions in the late pregnancy, and hypertension in the late pregnancy is a common condition in the human body. Faced with this situation, people will be very worried about whether they can give birth naturally. So the following will introduce whether it is possible to give birth naturally with high blood pressure in late pregnancy.

If you suffer from high blood pressure in the late stages of pregnancy, you should generally decide whether you can give birth naturally based on your actual situation. If symptoms such as proteinuria and edema have appeared, or if hypertension has already caused preeclampsia, or if eclampsia is severe, natural birth is not recommended because it may be life-threatening, and the pregnancy must be terminated promptly. During the process of normal delivery, the need to exert force can cause blood pressure to rise rapidly, which may lead to cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, it is recommended that you should check once a week in the later stages of pregnancy and eat a low-salt diet.

Conditions required for a normal birth:

1. The fetal position is correct. Children with correct fetal position are more likely to have a normal birth.

2. The expectant mother has a large pelvis and exercises regularly.

3. The size and weight of the fetus are appropriate.

4. The expectant mother has good physical fitness.

5. Replenish energy and strength during the production process.

6. Sufficient amniotic fluid can prevent the baby from lack of oxygen.

Principles of confinement for normal childbirth:

1. Keep warm and avoid catching cold

During the confinement period, you should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold. The indoor temperature is 25-26℃, and the humidity is 50%-60%. Pay special attention not to blow air directly into the air conditioner. In addition, avoid contact with cold water during the confinement period. In late autumn, add clothes in time and try to wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. If you catch a cold during the confinement period, it will affect the mother's physical recovery and make her prone to rheumatism and other postpartum diseases.

2. Combine work and rest

In the early days after delivery, when the mother feels weak, dizzy, and fatigued, she must stay in bed and rest more. The time she gets up should not exceed half an hour. As her strength gradually recovers, the time can be slightly extended, but it should be limited to 1-2 hours. At the same time, you should avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time during the confinement period, which will cause waist pain, back pain, leg pain, and pain in the knees and ankles.

3. Keep clean

Keep your body clean to avoid bacterial infection and inflammation. Right after giving birth, women have a lot of secretions from their private parts. They should pay attention to washing the vulva with warm water every day to ensure that the vulva is clean and hygienic, and keep the vulva dry to avoid infection. If there is a wound, it should be carefully cared for to avoid cracking and inflammation.

4. Adjust your diet

Taboo foods after normal delivery include: leeks, peppers, barley products, acidic foods, etc. These are foods that can cause milk to dry up. During the confinement period, you should eat more fruits and vegetables every day to help your body recover quickly.
