Is the third child born quickly?

With the opening of the two-child policy, many families have begun to think about having another child. Some families are even preparing to have a third child for individual reasons. Logically speaking, after two normal births and having gained certain experience, one would definitely not be as helpless and panicked as the first time, and would also make some prenatal preparations for a better birth. So, if it is the third natural birth, will it be safer and faster?

1. Will a pregnant woman give birth to her third child quickly?

The delivery process is uncertain and is sometimes affected by multiple factors, such as the fetus, labor force, and birth canal conditions. There are also variabilities in the delivery process, such as head presentation, uterine atony, and complications, which need to be considered comprehensively. Generally, the third baby is born faster than the first baby. If there is an increase in leucorrhea, purulent discharge, and vaginal itching, vaginitis may be a possibility. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to check your vaginal discharge and receive timely treatment after a confirmed diagnosis.

2. Conditions for natural childbirth

1. The fetus should not be too large. The most standard weight control for pregnant women is between 25 and 30 kilograms throughout pregnancy. During pregnancy, your weight should not exceed 500 grams per week. Eat small meals frequently to control your weight.

2. The size of the pelvis should be adapted.

3. Exercise can promote natural childbirth. Exercise for one hour every day, 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon. It is not advisable to exercise at night. If you choose to take a walk, it is best to do it in the morning when there is sunshine to help calcium absorption. Sitting for a long time without exercise can cause local ischemia, and the pain can cause "false labor".

3. Notes

Dystocia: The normal fetal position is with the head facing downwards, and the head is hard pressing against the cervix to open the birth canal. After the head comes out, the body will be fine. If the buttocks are at the bottom, normal delivery will not be possible.

The placenta is underneath: after separation, the fetus has no blood supply and is prone to suffocation.

Natural childbirth avoids some unnecessary interventions: artificial rupture of membranes, oxytocin, and reduced episiotomy. It is recommended to have a doula accompany you during delivery, use Lamaze breathing, and strengthen perineal massage before delivery to increase elasticity and reduce strain during delivery. Control your weight during pregnancy, as being too fat can cause edema.

Through the introduction in this article, we can know that generally speaking, the third child will be born faster than the first child. However, whether the natural birth process is smooth will be affected by many factors, and the third birth may not be so smooth. As a pregnant woman, you must know the precautions for natural childbirth so that you can have a better natural childbirth.
