Things to note when delivering your second child by caesarean section

When delivering a second child by caesarean section, the mother should follow the doctor's instructions and do necessary examinations in a timely manner, such as B-ultrasound and fetal heart monitoring, in order to understand the safety of the fetus in the womb. Try not to leave the ward when waiting for delivery, and be prepared for blood drawing, skin preparation, blood matching, etc. at any time. Things to note when delivering your second child by caesarean section include:

1. Things to note before caesarean section for the second child

1. Do not eat or drink for 8 hours before the operation. Before the operation, if the mother eats high-nutrition and difficult-to-digest food, it can easily lead to increased gastric pressure, making vomiting likely during the operation. In addition, if surgery is performed after eating, the mother may experience vomiting when the abdominal organs are pulled during the operation. If the vomitus is inhaled into the respiratory tract, there is a risk of suffocation. Therefore, do not eat anything after dinner the day before surgery, and do not drink water 6-8 hours before surgery. However, when taking medication under the doctor's instruction, you can take it with a small amount of water.

2. Before the operation, be careful not to wear jewelry, nail polish or makeup. During the cesarean section of the second child, if the mother suffers from severe hemorrhage and shock, the doctor will judge the degree of shock based on the mother's complexion and nail bed. If the mother wears makeup and nail polish, it will affect the doctor's judgment. In addition, some jewelry may be lost when worn during surgery.

3. Make good psychological adjustments. Even if the second child is delivered by caesarean section, the mother will inevitably worry about abnormalities in the fetus or herself. At this time, the mother should trust the doctor and believe that they can ensure her own safety. She can also make breathing adjustments under the doctor's guidance.

2. Precautions for Caesarean Section of Second Child

1. Cooperate well with the doctor. During the operation, the mother should follow the doctor's instructions. For example, during a caesarean section, some women may involuntarily push hard, which can easily cause the greater omentum and intestine to burst out, seriously affecting the doctor's surgical operation. At this time, the doctor will ask the mother to open her mouth and exhale without force, and she should pay attention to cooperate with the doctor.

2. If you feel any discomfort during the operation, inform your doctor immediately. Although anesthetics are used during caesarean sections, the mother is always awake. If the mother feels any discomfort, she can tell the doctor directly so that the doctor can detect abnormal conditions and deal with them in time to prevent accidents.

3. Incision location. When performing a caesarean section for the second child, the doctor will generally make an incision at the original opening. If a laparotomy has been performed before, and a longitudinal incision was made on the abdominal wall, the doctor will remove the original surgical scar. The mother does not need to be nervous during this process and should make sure to cooperate with the doctor.

keep Calm. When a second child is delivered by caesarean section, there are also risks such as anesthesia accidents, uterine atony, excessive bleeding during surgery, damage to surrounding tissues and organs during surgery, amniotic fluid embolism, and neonatal asphyxia. Although the chances are very small, you must be mentally prepared for unexpected events. During the operation, the mother should remain calm and trust the doctor. If she feels unwell, she should inform the doctor in time.
