Childbirth is a relatively painful process for women, and many pregnant women still have lingering fears about their childbirth many years later. Natural birth is good for the fetus and the mother, but how long does it take to give birth naturally? This question depends on individual differences. Some women may give birth in a few hours, while others may not give birth even after a whole day. There are many things related to this, and you should understand it in detail. 1. How long does it take to give birth naturally? The average time it takes a woman to give birth to her first baby is about 12-14 hours. Of course, everyone’s situation is different. Some expectant mothers experience shorter labor pains, but the pain is more intense; while other expectant mothers experience milder pains, but need more time to complete the labor period. Exactly how long labor takes varies from person to person, and there may be some genetic factors. 2. Precautions for childbirth preparation 1. Avoid having sex. If you have sex after the fetus enters the pelvis, uterine contractions will occur and induce premature birth of the baby. 2. Pay attention to your diet after the fetus enters the pelvis. The pregnant woman's appetite will be better than before. In order to prevent the fetus from becoming too fat, you can eat more meals, but pay attention to the amount control and listen to the doctor's advice. 3. Observe the baby's fetal movement. Calculated by hour, the normal fetal movement of the baby is between 3 and 5 times. If the fetal movement decreases, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. 4. Pay attention to measuring the fetal heart rate after the fetus enters the pelvis. Under normal circumstances, the baby's fetal heart rate is between 120 and 160. 5. If the baby has not been born 5 to 7 days after the due date, you should go to the hospital to wait for delivery to prevent the possibility of placental aging. 3. Wound care after normal delivery Generally speaking, lacerations from natural childbirth and episiotomy wounds from vaginal delivery heal faster than wounds from cesarean section. However, the wound care for vaginal laceration and episiotomy during normal delivery is different. Generally speaking, it is relatively simple to care for the tear wounds caused by natural childbirth, because there are fewer complications during natural childbirth. Therefore, natural tear wounds will generally heal within 3 to 5 days after delivery, and the pain will recover in one or two weeks. At this time, wound care is mainly aimed at preventing infection. The wound should be rinsed with warm water twice a day; to prevent wound contamination, wipe from front to back after defecation and rinse again. Sanitary pads should be changed frequently to avoid getting them wet and soaking the wound. It is best to use the "warm water sitting bath method" when bathing, because this can effectively prevent bacteria from entering the uterus with water and causing infection. |
