What you can not do with childbirth - 10 bans

During pregnancy, every future mother is taught in special courses, how to behave during childbirth and during the bearing of the baby. We diligently learn to breathe properly and ask the spouse to massage the lower back. And what about those moments that should become taboo at birth? After all, if there are rules, there will always be prohibitions. Let's understand.

What can not be done at birth?

In fact, these rules-prohibitions are not so many. All of them are based on a simple common sense and the physiology of the process itself. Consider the basic prohibitions that you will have to memorize during pregnancy.

  1. The first and most important point is never to give way to fear and panic . Of course, if you give birth for the first time, everything seems dangerous and a lot of stories about the problem childbirth of that and look emerge in your mind. Why should this fear necessarily be resisted? The thing is that muscles do not relax during a panic. This leads to ruptures in the perineum.
  2. Be sure to take care of all documents in advance. You can not go on delivery without an exchange card, the results of tests and ultrasound. Also take the originals or copies of the insurance policy and passport with the TIN. If all this you leave at home, you risk being in an infectious box. If you are planning partner births, HIV tests, syphilis and bacterial crops of the husband must also be seized, without them the way in which he was given is ordered.
  3. Of course, it is difficult to predict the exact time of onset of labor, but according to their precursors it is possible to calculate the time of day quite realistically. Why is it important? You can not eat while giving birth. At what to adhere to this ban will be strictly. It is possible that the doctor decides to resort to a caesarean section, or there will be other indications for general anesthesia.
  4. You can not always be in suspense. If instead of the right breathing and making fights you will strain the muscles of the pelvic floor, the bouts will become even stronger. If this continues, the spasm of the cervix will begin and it will not have time to open at the right time. The more relaxed you are, the more active the specific hormones will be produced and the birth will pass painlessly.
  5. Never lie on your back. Even during pregnancy, doctors forbid sleeping upside down. In this situation, large vessels are clamped and as a result, blood flow to the brain, uterus and baby is significantly impaired. This will lead to oxygen starvation of the child, and the mother will have venous congestion in the uterus and internal organs.
  6. Do not sit at the time of delivery. In this position, you prevent the child from moving through the birth canal. If walking or standing is no longer sufficient, it is better to choose another position or use the fitball.
  7. A stereotype in our society is the need to shout. In fact, this also can not be done. During the scream, you lose your strength and deprive the necessary oxygen of the baby. In the period of labor, the child has so little air, and when you cry, you breathe out a lot. Thus, you simply increase the possibility of an oxygen starvation for your crumbs and spend the rest of your energy.
  8. Do not pass it on to specialists . If the doctor finds it necessary to do a caesarean section or rather to refuse it, it is better to agree. It can be assigned only in cases when natural childbirth is dangerous for the baby or mother. These indications include premature detachment of the placenta, improper fetal location, seizures or severe late toxicosis.
  9. Never start pushing without a doctor's team. Always closely follow the team of the obstetrician: you can not correctly determine the right moment yourself, since the threshold of sensitivity can be underestimated or overestimated. There is a high risk of harm to the baby and cervix.
  10. You can not strain the muscles of the face and eyes during attempts. Correctly tug, straining the lower anterior wall of the abdominal cavity.
