Can you bear the pain of childbirth?

Every mother has experienced the pain of childbirth. The more pain she feels, the more she will realize how difficult it is to have a child. After ten months of pregnancy and giving birth to a healthy baby is a very happy thing. However, some pregnant mothers are still worried about the pain of childbirth, fearing that they cannot bear it. So, can you endure the pain of giving birth? Please see the detailed introduction for details.

Giving birth is a huge hurdle. After all, the level 10 labor analgesia is very frightening just by hearing about it. So for the sake of the child, most pregnant women will choose natural childbirth. In fact, natural childbirth is more painful than caesarean section.

The first pain is uterine contractions

Uterine contractions can be said to be a very important signal that the baby is preparing to be born. The current work is different from the usual false labor. It has become very regular, and with the passage of time, the pain of uterine contractions will become relatively deeper. In the beginning, it may be once every half an hour, but later it will become once every 10 minutes or even once every three minutes. The belly will tighten and there will be labor pains. Therefore, during this period, the cervix of the aunt has been opened, and it will enter a state of delivery when the cervix is ​​opened to ten fingers.

Second labor pain

The fetus's head is relatively large, so the birth canal will be relatively small. During the delivery process, the pregnant mother's birth canal will be squeezed by the fetus's head. This tearing feeling cannot be described in words. I guess only the pregnant mother can feel it. However, after he is born, when you see the baby, you will feel that it is worth it no matter how painful it is.

The third type: episiotomy pain

After getting through the first two years, the final hurdle will be waiting for the mother. The most painful thing for the mother is the episiotomy. It is said that 9 out of 10 natural births are done by episiotomy. By the time of the episiotomy, the anesthetic has almost dissipated, and the doctor will not give additional anesthetic. Therefore, the body of the pregnant mother will be directly torn apart, which is really painful. Later, when the doctor sutures the wound, the mother will be in so much pain that she will lose consciousness.

After watching such a process, I have to say that it is not that the pregnant women are being pretentious. They really endure some pains that ordinary people cannot endure. So giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. It is not an exaggeration at all. At this time, family members and their husbands should also give more care to the mother.

Increase the chance of a normal birth

Age between 24 and 28

The body tissues of expectant mothers younger than this age are not fully developed, especially the pelvis has not been fully fixed and formed, which is not good for both the mother and the fetus. Older mothers have harder pelvic joints that are difficult to expand, and their uterine contraction and vaginal stretch are also poor, so delivery time is prolonged and dystocia is more likely to occur. This is why many older mothers choose cesarean section.

Proper nutrition and weight control during pregnancy

During pregnancy, expectant mothers pay great attention to dietary nutrition. If they do not pay attention to controlling their weight, excessive nutritional supplements and excessive fat intake will cause the fetus in the womb to grow too large and will not be able to pass through the birth canal smoothly during delivery, and they will have to rely on surgery.

Do more exercise

Appropriate exercise is not only beneficial for controlling weight during pregnancy, but also helps with natural delivery. It can shorten the delivery process and reduce the chance of dystocia. Expectant mothers who exercise regularly can usually maintain their physical fitness and cardiopulmonary function at a certain level. Pregnant women with good physical fitness have high tolerance and are better able to withstand labor pain. Therefore, female athletes will have fewer complications during childbirth than ordinary pregnant women. Therefore, expectant mothers can maintain their usual exercise habits, just be careful not to choose intense activities.

Regular antenatal check-ups

Regular prenatal checkups help doctors detect problems early, correct them and treat them as soon as possible. For example, if the fetus is in an abnormal position, you can take measures such as knee-chest position to correct it under the guidance of a doctor so as not to affect normal delivery.

Confidence in natural childbirth

For expectant mothers who plan to give birth naturally, they should be mentally prepared in advance, read more books on this subject, understand the process and coping methods of natural childbirth, maintain a stable mood, and actively cooperate with the doctor once the contractions begin. Believe that with the help of doctors and midwives, they will go through the delivery safely and smoothly and welcome the arrival of the baby.
