not always births occur naturally.Sometimes hormone levels may not be sufficient.In this case, it goes to the course of induction of labor.
Risks
women agree to stimulation is not very willingly.The reason for this is the fear for her baby.Although encouraging, in most cases, on the contrary, to prevent the possible threat to the health of mother and child.But there are a number of dangers:
- severe pain when using drugs (natural labor induction such shortage has not), the use of epidural anesthesia and drugs for its relief and, therefore, the risks that are associated with their use;
- loop of umbilical cord prolapse;
- the risk of placental abruption;
- if carried out an operation on the womb or the previous method of delivery was cesarean section, the incentives can be quite dangerous;
- unsuccessful stimulation can cause fetal hypoxia;
- when prolonged labor process increases the probability of rupture of the amniotic bubble.
Contraindications
stimulation is not recommended in the following cases:
- was prolapsed cord;
- water broke: the risk of intrauterine infection is triggered at rupture of the membrane, which contains amniotic bag surrounding the child;
- decreases the power of the fetus through the umbilical cord because perenashivanie pregnancy;
- a child is diagnosed deviation of the heart;
- the fetus is in a lateral (transverse) position;
- high risk of blocking the respiratory tract if inhaled meconium child (the contents of the intestine), which can get into the amniotic fluid;
- diagnosed placenta previa: it partially or completely covers the cervical canal;
- established the presence of an infectious disease;
- did not fit the due date of birth of the child;
- high blood pressure in pregnant women;
- began uterine bleeding;
- diabetes.
induction of labor: the basic ways
- Amniotomy - this attack membranes by making holes in the amniotic bag with a plastic needle.After this fight should begin during the day, otherwise the risk of infection increases.
- Stimulation of the maturation of the cervix using gel (suppositories), vaginally administered techniques containing prostaglandins, which are used as analogues of hormones that reduce the uterus.
- enhancing or stimulating contractions by intravenous oxytocin artificial substitute - the drug "Pitocin," gradually increasing the dose.
Professional induction of labor
without prior diagnosis of cervical cancer, as well as determining the position of the baby any interference impossible.For the fruit of the onset of labor should take the correct location, and the cervical canal to become more subtle and open.If you use drugs often require the introduction of antispasmodics, analgesics or epidural anesthesia, as induction of labor can cause quite severe pain.If everything remains unchanged over a sufficient period of time, it is assigned a cesarean section.
