(1) After the labor month, I am worried that the water will break. Is it necessary to wear sanitary napkins at all times?

This is not necessary. However, in order to prevent the sudden break of water, it is better to keep it with you. In other words, it s best to take it with you when you go out to stay calm.

(2) Should I go to the hospital immediately after breaking the water? Can I go to the toilet?

Childbirth may occur at any time after the water is broken, so you should go to the hospital. But there is no need to worry about anything. You can change to clean clothes. If there is a slight movement of liquid, you can use a sanitary napkin or a clean towel. Generally, urination is no problem. However, the feeling of having a bowel movement may be a precursor to childbirth, so you should go to the hospital right away.

(3) The pain began, and I suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom. What should I do?

When you want to go to the toilet during the pain, you must first say hello to the doctor. Because the feeling of wanting to give birth forcefully is very similar to the feeling of wanting to poop. If your doctor finds that your uterine opening has begun to open, you will not be allowed to go to the bathroom.

(4) Is it not possible to drink a lot of water during the pain?

Symptoms are easier to sweat than usual, and breathing can cause the mouth to dry out. If you are thirsty, there is no need to bear it, you can add some water while waiting for the time of childbirth.

(5) When I see the red, I want to go to the hospital immediately, but there is no one at home, what should I do?

At this time, even if you are the best, go immediately. If you wait patiently for your husband or family, it is very dangerous once you start giving birth. Therefore, after entering the due date, you should be prepared to deal with sudden pains, such as sticking the phone of a taxi company or a neighbor next to the phone. ^[1]

(1) It feels like the fetus is going to fall out of your lower part. This is because the fetus's head has fallen to the pelvis. This usually happens 1 week or several hours before delivery.

(2) Increased vaginal discharge. This is the viscous secretion that you accumulated in the cervix during pregnancy. When the labor is in labor, the cervix swells. These viscous substances like plugs reach the vagina, making the vaginal secretion more. . This phenomenon usually occurs a few days before or just before delivery.

(3) Watery but yellowish liquid trickles out from the vagina, and may flow out like a spray, so that your panties and even outer pants are soaked. This is a burst of amniotic membrane, which is called water breakage. This phenomenon occurs mostly hours before or near delivery.

(4) Water rupture occurs before the baby is born, but some water rupture is not real, but the anterior membrane sac is broken, and the fetal membrane surrounding the fetus is not broken, so it disappears after a stream of amniotic fluid flows out.

(5) Regular abdominal cramps, pain, or soreness in the back, waist, stomach, tail (tail bone) or pubic bone (bone under the abdomen). This is caused by alternating contractions and relaxation of the uterus, which will increase as labor approaches.

(6) When the fetus comes out, the cervix will be opened, the vagina will be expanded, and the entrance and exit of the pelvis should also be expanded enough to let the fetal head come out. Pain is inevitable. If you are a primiparous, don't worry, only when your baby really comes out, that is, when the baby is moving, the real labor pain will start. Your abdominal pain has just happened, it's just a preview, it's still early before the baby is born, and you won't have your baby at home or on the road. ^[3]

Although childbirth is a physiological phenomenon, childbirth is a great challenge to expectant mothers' physiology and psychology. In particular, the psychological and psychological factors of pregnant mothers can affect the internal balance, fitness and health of the body.

A considerable number of expectant mothers heard negative reports about childbirth from relatives and friends. They were afraid and afraid of childbirth, fear of pain, bleeding, dystocia, fetus deformity, and danger of life, resulting in emotional tension during labor. Often in a state of anxiety, restlessness and fear.

This emotional change of expectant mothers will cause a series of changes in the body, such as increased heart rate, shortness of breath, and insufficient gas exchange in the lungs, resulting in excessive physical exertion of expectant mothers, and also changed expectant mothers' neuroendocrine changes and sympathetic nerve excitement. High blood pressure leads to ischemia and hypoxia in fetal babies, reduced fetal movement, slowed fetal heart rate, and fetal distress.

In fact, childbirth is a natural physiological process. As long as the baby is not too big, expectant mothers check everything before birth, and most expectant mothers can give birth naturally. Through the studies in the pregnant women's school, expectant mothers learned about the three labor processes of childbirth. Don't be nervous when you find contractions, eat on time and have a good rest.

You can do deep breathing during contractions, or use your hands to gently lower your abdomen. Expectant mothers have the confidence to give birth naturally, and with the help of doctors and nurses and prospective fathers, they will work well in close cooperation. ^[4]

How to relieve tension before giving birth:

1. Pregnant women are required to understand the labor process, labor signs, and other knowledge related to childbirth, and believe that modern science is advanced.

2.You can relieve tension by reading, listening to music, walking, etc.

3. Disperse energy by preparing various items and supplies for the baby to be born, and wait for the moment to meet the baby with the most positive and optimistic attitude.

4, the family encourages pregnant mothers, pregnant mothers must be full of confidence and believe in themselves. ^[5]
