Why shouldn't you scream during childbirth? What are the effects of screaming during childbirth on pregnant women and fetuses?

We all know that when women give birth, they will feel great pain, so many pregnant mothers tend to scream during childbirth, hoping that this can relieve some of the pain. However, this is not good. Not only can it not relieve the pain, but it will also consume physical strength and affect the progress of childbirth. Let's take a closer look!

Can screaming during labor relieve pain?

Screaming during childbirth does not relieve pain, and it can also have many adverse effects. Of course, this does not mean that mothers cannot make any sound at all. It is still difficult to endure severe pain without making a sound. When the pain is unbearable, mothers can also shout a few times appropriately, but remember not to shout for a long time. Try to endure it as much as possible. Cooperate with the doctor during the entire process of childbirth~

Doctors do not allow pregnant women to scream during childbirth in the hospital. There are usually 6 expectant mothers in the delivery room, and each expectant mother has different levels of labor pain. The doctor keeps checking the size of the pregnant woman's cervix, and then decides who will give birth first. Some pregnant women have unbearable labor pains, so they will scream, which can relieve the pain for a short time and reduce their pain, but this is not conducive to childbirth. During normal childbirth, pregnant women need a lot of energy and strength to give birth to the baby. At this time, if they scream and use up their energy and strength, how can they give birth to the baby? Therefore, doctors will fiercely stop pregnant women who scream, which is actually for the good of expectant mothers.

The adverse effects of screaming during labor

The more I shout, the more scared I become.

During childbirth, mothers screaming and shouting will not reduce the pain. From a psychological point of view, the more mothers scream and shout, the more likely they are to lose confidence in themselves. Mothers will keep wondering why the labor pain has not ended yet and when it will end. They will feel very desperate about the rest of the labor process.

Excessive physical exertion and lack of strength

You should know that mothers' physical strength is very important during childbirth. It is common to have uterine contractions and pain for more than ten hours. This situation is most common in first-time mothers. The more mothers shout during labor, the faster their physical strength will be consumed. Shouting will make mothers physically exhausted, and when they need to push, they will no longer have the strength to push.

Prolong labor

When giving birth, if mothers scream and shout, the contraction of the uterus will become uncoordinated and the contractility of the uterus will become very poor. Because the uterine contractions are weak, the cervix will be slow to open and the labor process will stagnate. The cervix will easily become edematous due to prolonged compression. When screaming and shouting, a large amount of gas will be swallowed, causing intestinal bloating, which makes it impossible for mothers to eat normally.

Affect other pregnant women

There are usually several women in labor in the delivery room. If one of them screams in pain, it will affect the other women. Mo Ma has a sister-in-law who is like this. She originally planned to give birth naturally, but when she was in the delivery room, a mother was crying and making a fuss in pain, which really scared her, so she chose a caesarean section out of fear.

What should you pay attention to during childbirth?

During a normal birth, expectant mothers must relax and not be nervous. This is not conducive to childbirth and will also affect the baby's mood. Think more about happy things to divert your attention.

When you feel pain, you should take a deep breath to calm yourself and release the pain. Don't scream and shout, save some energy for giving birth to your baby. I remember when I was giving birth to my daughter, whenever I couldn't hold on, I thought: the pain will be over today, and it will be fine tomorrow, I must hold on. Think more about the benefits to comfort yourself, and the pain will only last a few hours.

You must cooperate with the doctor and push when you need to. The doctor will teach you how to breathe and how to push. Only by cooperating with the doctor can the delivery go smoothly and you can also "deliver" earlier.

In short, you should walk more during a normal birth, keep a happy mood, cooperate with the doctor during the birth, maintain "fighting power", do not blindly use strength, and use strength when necessary. Pay attention to hygiene and nutrition after delivery. In fact, as long as you are mentally prepared for a normal birth and listen to the experiences of your "predecessors" who had a normal birth, you will not be afraid or nervous during the birth. Think about it, isn't it quite easy?
