time estimate - have time or not?
In most cases, pregnant women tend to panic and tell others that the process has begun, and the baby will be born soon.However, this is not always the case.At this point, it is important to understand at what stage is the process of childbirth.
1. contractions.
If a pregnant woman feels a contraction of the uterus after a certain, the same amount of time that is not less than 3 minutes, this bout.Then you left there for approximately two hours.Your actions in this case should be to as quickly as possible to get to the maternity hospital.Of course, each case is different, and if you really know that this time do not have time to get there, it is better not to take risks, and to use during labor to prepare for childbirth to take home.At home, do it better than being in the car.
2. Attempts.
pregnant woman feels unbearable desire to go to the bathroom "in the large", uterine contractions occur every 1-2 minutes.This process is called vain attempts at it have virtually no spare time and it's time to take delivery.
Unfortunately, there are situations where a pregnant woman has to give birth on their own without any help.And this, despite the fact that the birth abortion is not recommended for a long time to be alone.Independent labor - the situation is unpleasant, but not fatal.Main follow a certain plan of action and to possess at least some information on how to deliver babies at home.
actions that must be followed maternity
First, prepare all that could theoretically be necessary during childbirth.Warm boiled water solution to disinfect - alcohol, cologne, iodine, a solution of potassium permanganate, clean sheets (cloth, T-shirts), rubber bulb suction mucus from the mouth and nose of the newborn, sharp scissors or a knife (if time permits, soak the unit in a disinfectant solutionfor a few minutes).
Second, find a place where you will be most comfortable.Place the necessary things at hand.Take off your clothes completely or only the lower part, as you prefer.If possible, place in front of your lower body mirror.So it will be easier to make independent families of the house.Home birth must be constantly monitored.
Third, take a comfortable correct body position: Ideally, half-sitting or lying down.Under the back need to put something solid to be able to stretch.The legs bend at the knees.
Fourth, try as little as possible to get nervous and focus on proper breathing.Start push.
in antenatal all future mums tell and show how to make an effort.Most often during childbirth, this information disappears from the head of mothers, and then come to the aid of a midwife.In this case, you give birth on their own, without any help, suggest how and what - no one, so as soon as possible to remember everything you need.
correct approach to the vain attempts
So, a woman in labor during attempts should press chin to your chest, bend your knees as much as possible and keep them with both hands.Take a deep breath and hold it, while these actions must be tighter, ie direct action in ejecting the crotch area.Then slowly exhale and then take a deep breath and tighter.During a bout a woman in labor should be tighter at least three times.
So keep families of the house without assistants.As soon as the new mother feels that the baby's head emerged from the birth canal, it is necessary to put a hand under the buttocks and thereby hold the head of the newborn.We continue to push the kid're clothes hangers, and the body and legs pop up instantly.All the baby was born.But we continue the process of labor.
What to do after the appearance of the baby
Newly mom should gently, slowly, put the baby to his stomach or, if the length of the cord on the chest.Next - to clear the nose and mouth of mucus from the baby so that he was able to take the first breath.Wipe the baby's face with a damp clean cloth.Women giving birth is important to remember that you need to give birth to "baby house" - the placenta.Then go to the circumcision of the umbilical cord.
How to cut the umbilical cord and handle
After the birth of your baby is very important to cut the umbilical cord linking it with the mother throughout the pregnancy.This process is much easier than a separate home births . is enough to have information.So, you need 10-12 inches from the navel of the newborn to tie the umbilical cord thread soaked in disinfectant solution.After 10 centimeters tie again.Sharp scissors to cut the umbilical cord and to treat it with iodine, alcohol, or, in extreme cases, brilliant green.Make a gauze bandage.
After processing the umbilical cord of the newborn must be wrapped in a warm clean clothes.Women in childbirth should squeeze the baby to her breast, and remain in that position until the arrival of the ambulance, which will take the mother and the baby to the hospital for a detailed assessment of the health of both.
Action for home birth with the assistant virtually indistinguishable from running in separate genera.Only the position of women in labor is simplified, since the process is controlled by another person who will perform certain actions, including carry out the first baby care.
Practice shows that it is possible to carry out home deliveries.Reviews are very diverse: some advises to try to avoid this, someone on the contrary, is recommended.In theory, all usually passes without complications, but in fact may have some trouble.
In order not to fall into such a situation, when you have to deliver babies at home, do not forget to immediately once felt contractions, contact the ambulance!
