However, in real life, I have never heard of a woman passing out in pain during childbirth. As netizens said, even if you can faint in pain, you can wake up in pain. So does it really hurt? Let's find out.
What is the process of natural childbirth? Natural childbirth is generally divided into four stages:
The first stage of labor is cervical dilatation, which is the process of opening the cervix from 1cm to 10cm, which takes about ten hours.
The second stage of labor is the delivery period of the fetus, that is to say, after the cervix is fully opened, the delivery process of the fetus from the uterus is generally 1-2 hours, during which it may naturally tear or cut sideways;
The third stage of labor is the period of placental delivery, that is, the process of placental expulsion after fetal delivery. Placenta is usually discharged within 15-30 minutes after fetal delivery. If the placenta cannot be discharged normally, the doctor needs to peel it off manually and then sew up the side wound.
The fourth stage of labor is the observation period. Observe the situation within two hours after delivery, mainly to observe whether there is massive bleeding and blood pressure after delivery. If everything is all right, you can go back to the general ward.
What pains will you encounter in the production process? 1. Contraction pain. When the fetus matures, it will start and enter the first stage of labor. The first stage of labor is also divided into two periods. Opening the cervix to 3cm is called incubation period, which is not very painful and takes about 8 hours. The process from cervical opening to cervical opening is an active period, which is very painful, and the more intense the pain, the shorter the interval and the longer the duration. When the uterus contracts strongly, it is actually just what netizens call grade eight pain.
2. Labor pain. When the fetus is delivered in the second stage of labor, the degree of pain will reach 10, which is what we usually call the highest level of pain. Every time the uterus contracts, the mother will feel very painful.
Even if it may lead to natural tearing or the doctor's conscious lateral incision during childbirth, it will be covered up by the pain of uterine contraction and not felt.
3. It hurts to peel the placenta by hand. If you are really unlucky, placenta adhesion or other reasons lead to the placenta not being discharged as scheduled, the doctor can only carry out artificial placenta stripping, that is, put his hand into the uterus to artificially strip the placenta, which is terrible to think about.
4. Suture pain. Just because you can't feel pain when tearing or cutting sideways doesn't mean you can't feel pain when sewing. Suture is also very painful, so painful that I can feel how long the nurse's thread has been pulled.
Since it hurts so much, does fainting really not hurt? Generally, it won't hurt, because even if it really hurts during childbirth, there is a gap in uterine contraction. Because it won't last forever, it won't reach the height of pain and dizziness. Even if pregnant women do faint during childbirth, they are tired, because childbirth is really hard and tiring, and it requires a lot of physical strength. However, if this happens, the doctor is very experienced in handling it, so don't worry.
How to relieve the pain during childbirth? 1. Face delivery. Giving birth to a child is inherently painful. Since I plan to have a baby, I decided to bear the pain. How can you touch the baby's face without experiencing this pain? Be mentally prepared and treat it with a relaxed attitude when the pain strikes. If the pain is unbearable, you can try painless delivery. You should make an appointment in advance.
2. Walk around properly. A proper walk can relieve the pain. When the pain is not so intense, you can walk on the flat ground properly. If it hurts too much to move, just rest in place.
3. Distract. Maternal or family members can chat with each other, talk about topics of interest, and distract maternal attention. Family members should give support and encouragement.
4. Practice breathing. You can practice some breathing methods to help delivery.
Many parturients will croak with pain when they are in labor pains. In fact, this is very irrational behavior, because it will consume physical strength. In fact, women should conserve their physical strength. Otherwise, where did they get the strength when they gave birth? During the intermission of uterine contraction, the parturient can eat something to supplement her physical strength, and then cooperate with the doctor to forcibly deliver the fetus. For example, drink milk, eat cake, red bull and chocolate. Many mothers say that drinking honey water can shorten the labor process, so try it.
