"Born in the shirt" - not just lucky and happy people have heard this phrase, directed to his address.And where did this expression of what it means?Let's face it.To be born in a shirt, then, was born in unruptured, whole amniotic membrane.It envelops the newborn as a shirt.Usually it is difficult birth: the baby can suffocate.In the old days with almost no medicine to survive under such labor - is happiness.Here and there was a belief that to be born in a shirt, so be happy for life.Sometimes a newborn baby is born not in a shirt and in a so-called cap when the shell is covered only his head.These children attributed to the ability of clairvoyance, magic, mystical other features.
be born under a lucky star - it's good or bad?
At the beginning of the last century, it was deadly.Children born in the periconceptional bladder is often suffocated or died from exposure to amniotic fluid.Today, this danger does not exist practically.Modern medicine has invented a method (amniotomy), allowing the baby in time to leave their protective fetal membranes.Those who are born under a lucky star, is getting smaller.
Why is this happening?
some women is not enough amniotic fluid or too dense and flexible amniotic bubble.This may be due to genetically or drug influence certain diseases.In this case, even if the cervix is fully disclosed to release a newborn, not the bubble burst (as in normal birth).He remains intact.This is where doctors and use amniotomy, or artificial bladder puncture.The word "Amniotomy" consists of two "shell" + "dissection".The operation was carried out almost every woman giving birth plan.The doctor takes a special hook and pierce them amniotic bubble so that the water which is before the baby's head begin to flow.Those that are behind, remain in the bladder and help the newborn gradually overcome the way out.To be born in a shirt today, it is practically impossible.It should be noted that the procedure is absolutely painless and even imperceptible: in the membranes of nerve endings there.
This shows amniotomy?
Doctors do not believe that to be born in a shirt - a great happiness, and, therefore, every woman in childbirth, was admitted to the hospital carefully examined.Avoid pre-puncture the bubble, not all expectant mothers.That evidence, which is obligatory amniotomy:
- perenashivanie pregnancy.If the fetus is over 41 weeks, the shell bubble becomes very dense.It almost does not pass oxygen and nutrients.The fruit can be lost.
- Protracted fighting.They tire the woman, that she does not remain forces in attempts.At long labor asphyxia threatens the fetus.
- Preeclampsia.This particular pathological condition of pregnancy that is accompanied by very high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and vascular disorders of the autonomic system, edema.
- time did not reveal the cervix.
Those who are born under a lucky star, is now almost no different from other people.However, the observation of doctors for such lucky in the first years of life is necessary.
