How to behave during childbirth?
With the onset of regular bouts, you must be under the supervision of a doctor who will monitor your state of health and the changes in your child's condition, determine his progress and listen to his heartbeat. Before the birth, if the contractions are not regular, do not starve yourself, you can eat easily digestible food, eat low-fat soups, rub your mashed or soup-puree, milk porridge, drink kissels, sweet tea or compote. Exclude chocolate and citrus fruits, they can cause an allergy in a newborn or you have on medications that are administered during labor.
The first period. Follow the emptying of the bladder every 2-3 hours, since it is crowded, it will prevent the contracting of the uterus and the subjugate abnormal activity. To reduce the pain in the lumbar region, do a few circular movements with the pelvis, rub the lower back, ask the doctor to show you the points corresponding to the outer corners of the Michaelis rhombus and press them with their fists, they are located above the pelvis, along the sides of the spine. You will also be helped by a dimple massage at the base of your thumb. Sit on your haunches, if it's not hard for you, listen to pleasant music, the main thing - do not be bored and think about the pleasant, happy moments in your life. Do some tricks from breathing exercises. During the bout, make a long exhalation, imagine that you blow out the candle, relax, the exhalation should be long enough and deep, without interruptions. Adjust your breathing, depending on the intensity of the fights, the stronger they are, the deeper the breath. At the end of the exposure, pressure on the rectum is possible, but if you have previously cleared the intestines with an enema, then you do not need to visit the toilet.
In the second period. When amniotic fluid has passed, it is necessary to adopt a position convenient for delivery. On the medical bed it is better to raise the head end, and on the usual place the pillow, not so soft, so as not to fall through. Take the handles that are on either side of the bed, and see if it will be convenient for you to use them. Replacement, in their absence, can be a diaper, passed through the edge of the bed.
With tensions, redistribute muscle tension to the lower abdomen, without straining your face, so that small facial vessels do not splinter. At that moment, all your energy will be needed. Do not spend it on screaming and throwing. Contractions last up to 50 seconds, and during this time, you must make maximum efforts during attempts to help the child to go his way. When the head of the fetus leaves, it is necessary to breathe through the nose, so as to minimize the crotch as little as possible.
In the third period, after the birth of the child after a while, leaves the latter. For this, during the new attempts, lift the hips, and the latter will fully exit by itself. After that, you will put a bubble with ice on your stomach, so that the uterus quickly contracted, and the vessels ceased to bleed.
