Delivery is usually divided into three consecutive processes.
Also called dilatation of uterine orifice. It is intermittent for 5-6 minutes from the beginning Regular contractions From to when the cervical opening is completely expanded to 10 cm. This process takes 11 to 12 hours for primipara, Menopause It takes 6-8 hours.
Cooperation in the first stage of labor:
(1) Eliminate fear and keep calm and optimistic;
(2) Eat on time and supplement adequate nutrition;
(3) Urine regularly every 2-4 hours to make the bladder empty so as not to hinder the descent of the fetal head;
(4) If Fetal membrane If not broken, you can walk in the waiting room with the doctor's consent;
(5) Some auxiliary pain reducing actions can also be performed during uterine contraction.
2. Second stage of labor
It is also called the fetal delivery period. It is from the complete expansion of the cervical opening to the delivery of the fetus. It takes 1~2 hours for the primipara, and it can be completed in a constant minute for the parturient, but it can also take up to 1 hour.
The baby is about to be born when the peak of childbirth comes. Tire head moves close orificium vaginae , vulva and anus due to fetal head compression Pelvic floor It looks puffy. Soon you will see the fetal head, which moves forward with each contraction. When the contraction disappears, it may slide back a little.
When the top of the tire head is visible, midwife Regular meetings Tell pregnant women not to exert too much force, because if the fetal head is delivered too fast, the perineum skin of pregnant women may be torn, so pregnant women should relax and take a few seconds to breathe. If there is a danger of serious tearing or the fetus is in danger, the pregnant woman will accept Episiotomy When the fetal head expands the vaginal orifice, the pregnant woman will feel tingling, followed by numbness, which is caused by the blocking of nerve conduction when the vaginal tissue expands very thin.
When the head is delivered, the baby's face is downward. The midwife may want to check umbilical cord To ensure that the baby's neck is not entangled by the umbilical cord (when the fetal head is delivered, the umbilical cord often covers the head). The baby's head is then turned to one side so that the head is in line with the shoulders. The midwife should clean the baby's nose and mouth. If necessary respiratory tract Liquid in Aspirate
During the following two contractions, the baby's body will slide out of the mother's body, and the baby is still connected to the umbilical cord. The midwife will cut the umbilical cord. In addition, the midwife will clean the baby's respiratory tract again and give oxygen if necessary.
Also called placental delivery period. It takes 5 to 15 minutes from the delivery of the fetus to the delivery of the placenta, and should not exceed 30 minutes.
After the delivery of the fetus, there will still be uterine contractions to promote the delivery of the placenta, but at this time the uterine contractions are relatively painless. Later, the doctor will clean up the pregnant woman. If there is a crack in the vulva, local sutures will be made.

1. Natural vaginal delivery
Natural vaginal delivery refers to Fetal development Normally, the pelvic development of the pregnant woman is also normal, and the pregnant woman is in good physical condition. At the same time, under the premise of safety guarantee, it is usually a delivery mode that the fetus is delivered by vagina without manual intervention. Pregnant women are deciding Natural childbirth The whole production process should be understood first. Natural vaginal delivery is the most ideal mode of delivery, without much damage to the mother and fetus, and postpartum recovery It's also fast, complication Less, you can get out of bed and walk on the day of production. And for babies, from birth canal When coming out Pulmonary function Get exercise, skin Nerve endings Get massage through stimulation, and its nerves and senses Phylogeny Better, with stronger Resistance The squeezing of the baby's head when passing through the birth canal is also conducive to the rapid establishment of normal breathing after birth.
(1) Advantages and disadvantages of natural childbirth
1. Advantages ① The fetus is squeezed naturally through the birth canal and can be excreted Pulmonary interstitium In amniotic fluid , to avoid neonatal disease“ Wet lung ”Symptoms, etc. ② Can reduce maternity Surgical complications It can also reduce trauma. ③ Naturally born babies are physically active Coordination capacity It is better than other delivery methods. ④ It can enhance the communication and cooperation between mother and son, and strengthen women's ability to be mothers Happiness And sense of responsibility. ⑤ It also helps Postpartum lochia Exclusion: the uterus recovers quickly after delivery, and it will not affect the future fertility. In addition, milk production is also faster.
2. Disadvantages ① There is some damage to the vagina. ② Uterine contraction pain is severe. ③ encounter dystocia May need to be converted into caesarean birth , causing double damage.
(2) Conditions for natural childbirth
The age of the first parturient is 25~ 29 years old It is more likely to give birth naturally. The older you are, the more hypertension diabetes heart disease And other complications, so Cesarean section The probability of.
The second is whether the maternal nutrition is reasonable and the weight is qualified. The ideal pregnancy weight is: increase 2 kg in the early pregnancy (within 3 months), Second trimester Pregnancy (3-6 months) and Late pregnancy (7 to 9 months of pregnancy). That is, it is appropriate to add about 12kg in total. If the whole pregnancy period increases by more than 20 kg. It is possible to make the baby grow too big, so it is not appropriate to choose natural birth at this time.
In addition, it also depends on whether the puerpera have the strength to deliver. Generally, the labor process is about 14 hours, which requires enough physical strength to complete. Systematic exercise will be very helpful to ensure the physical strength during delivery. Finally, it depends on whether the puerpera have the psychological preparation to bear the pain of childbirth. Not enough psychological preparation is bad for the smooth delivery.
2. Cesarean delivery
Often called cesarean section, it is to open the abdominal wall and uterus and take out the fetus. yes Narrow pelvis Placental abnormality Abnormal birth canal Or the pregnant women who break water prematurely and have abnormal fetus need to end the delivery as soon as possible. If the case is properly selected and the operation is performed in time, the mother and child can be saved. Cesarean section can avoid the pain of the mother. If there are other diseases in the abdomen, it can also be dealt with at the same time. However, the caesarean section has a greater damage to the mother, and the recovery after childbirth is relatively slow, and there may also be operations sequela happen.
Post caesarean section nursing:
(1) You should turn over more after surgery
anaesthesia Drugs can inhibit Intestinal peristalsis , causing different degrees of Flatulence , thus abdominal distention Therefore, it is advisable to do more turning movements after delivery to promote the early recovery of paralyzed intestinal muscle peristalsis function, so that the gas in the intestinal tract can be discharged as soon as possible, and some can be soaked 12 hours after the operation Senna leaf Drink water to help relieve abdominal distension.
(2) Pay attention to exercise
About 10 days after the caesarean section, if the body recovers well, you can start exercising. The method is: lie on your back, lift your legs alternately, first perpendicular to the body, then slowly put them down, and do 5 times on both legs respectively; Lie on your back, place your arms on both sides of your body naturally, flex and lift your right leg, and make its thigh close to the abdomen as much as possible, and its heel close to the hip as much as possible. Do it alternately with the left and right legs, 5 times each; Lie on your back with knees bent, arms folded in front of your chest, and slowly sit in half Seating , then restore Supine position Supine, knees flexion, Two arms up Straighten, do abdominal curl In the prone position, bend your legs to your chest, keep your thighs perpendicular to the bed and lift your hips, keep your chest close to the bed, do it once in the morning and once in the evening, and gradually extend it from 2 to 3 minutes to 10 minutes each time.
(3) Suitable for bed rest Semi recumbent position
The recovery of the parturient after caesarean section is slow and cannot be the same as that of the natural vaginal delivery 24 hours Then you can get up and exercise. Therefore, caesarean section is easy to occur Lochia It is not easy to expel, but if you take the semi recumbent position and turn over more, it will promote the discharge of lochia, prevent lochia from accumulating in the uterine cavity, causing infection and affecting uterine restoration, which is also conducive to the healing of uterine incision.
(4) Try to get out of bed early
As long as physical strength allows, you should get out of bed as early as possible after delivery and gradually increase the amount of activity. In this way, it can not only increase the function of intestinal peristalsis, promote uterine reset, but also avoid the occurrence of Intestinal adhesion Thrombophlebitis
(5) Pay attention to urination after delivery
For the convenience of surgery Cesarean section Place before catheter 24-48 hours after the operation, the influence of narcotic drugs disappears, and the bladder muscle regains urination function. At this time, the catheter can be pulled out, as long as there is Urination intention , we should try to urinate by ourselves and lower the catheter retention time Too long Urinary tract bacterial infection Risk.
(6) Keep vaginal and abdominal incisions clean
Within 2 weeks after the operation, avoid wetting the abdominal incision, and clean the whole body with Scrub bath After that, you can take a shower, but you must not take a bath until the lochia is drained; Flush the vulva 1~2 times a day, and be careful not to let dirty water enter the vagina; If the wound is red, swollen, hot, or painful, do not apply it by squeezing yourself. You should seek medical advice in time to avoid wound infection Procrastination does not heal.
(7) Don't eat Flatulence food
The gastrointestinal function can be recovered about 24 hours after the caesarean section functional recovery After, give liquid diet 1 day, such as Egg soup the rice soup , avoid milk Soybean Milk , a large number of sucrose Wait for flatulence food. After the intestinal gas is discharged, use it instead Semiliquid food 1-2 days, such as Gruel noodles in soup Wonton Wait, and then switch to normal diet.
(8) Use less pain killers
After caesarean section narcotic The effect of sense of pain It starts to recover. Generally, the wound begins to ache violently within a few hours after the operation. In order to have a good rest and recover as soon as possible, the doctor can be asked to give some pain relief drugs on the day or night of the operation. After that, it is better not to use too much medicine to relieve pain, so as not to affect the recovery of intestinal peristalsis. Generally speaking, the pain of the wound will disappear after 3 days.
(9) puerperium No sex
6 weeks after cesarean section, if the vagina no longer bleeds, the doctor should check wound healing It is in good condition and can be recovered sex life However, we must adopt strict contraception measures Avoid pregnancy. Otherwise, there are scar Your uterus is easy to do Curettage Sometimes perforation or even rupture occurs.

If there is no natural flow of amniotic fluid at child birth , medical staff will do artificial water breaking before or during childbirth. This process does not make the mother feel pain.
four Fetal heart sound custody

Medical staff need to use this Continuity To learn the heartbeat of the fetus and baby during the whole delivery process (especially during uterine contraction).
Generally, intravenous injection will be carried out before entering the delivery room. Drop some glucose perhaps normal saline , replenish energy and moisture. This can keep the mother and the baby in good condition. In addition, the intravenous drip can also prevent the puerpera from dehydration, supply body heat, and facilitate the intravenous injection of pain relief and uterine contraction related drugs.
