The onset of labor and its course is hormonally controlled.
The first sign of labor may be the rupture of the membranes and the departure of water; regular uterine contractions are also usually felt. The first stage of labor is usually the most difficult and the longest one. Strong contractions then cause gradual stretching of the cervix so that the part of the body of the child with the largest cross section - the head - fits in. When the neck reaches the state of the largest dilation, about 10 cm, after a short transitional stage, the second stage of delivery takes place, i.e. the child's head is pushed gradually downward through the cervix. The child is born face down, but soon after the head appears the child turns it aside. After one or two more cramps, the rest of the body comes out. The newborn is still connected to the mother's umbilical cord. It is cut off after the ripple ceases. The last and third period of delivery is removal of the placenta. This usually takes a short time, but to reduce the risk of haemorrhage, its removal is accelerated by providing appropriate hormonal injections, e.g. oxytocin.
Childbirth by the so-called Caesarean section
In some cases, a woman can not give birth to a child in a natural way and then the doctor can decide to have a caesarean section. This treatment is recommended, among others when:
♦ the fetus is large, larger than the uterine cavity or set in the so-called gluteal position (in the last case attempts to carry out natural labor)
♦ there is a risk to the health of the child (for example, his or her heart rate is stopped or released) or the mother (for example, if the childbirth has been started too naturally)
♦ there has been a vaginal or uterus infection
♦ the child is ill with hemophilia
♦ the mother is suffering from heart disease or is suffering from hypertension
♦ previous deliveries were also carried out by Caesarean section, although in this case a lot depends on the reasons for the first delivery and the doctor's opinion.
Currently, caesarean section is performed under epidural and not general as before.
This allows the mother to be aware during the delivery and contact with the child immediately after birth. Delivery by cesarean route is fast - it usually takes 15-20 minutes. After the incision is made over the pubic hairline, the amniotic fluid is sucked out and then the doctor removes the child from the uterus. As in the course of natural delivery, birth is accelerated by hormonal injection. The longest stage of such a delivery is usually suturing, because the walls of the uterus and the abdominal wall should be stitched separately.
Childbirth in water
Childbirth in water is one of the ways of so-called natural birth. Introduced him in the early 80s in his clinic in Pithiviers by Dr. Michel Odent. On the basis of his many years of observations, he stated that the natural and friendly environment around the woman who is giving birth creates the most optimal conditions for childbirth. He allowed free and unrestricted behavior of women during childbirth and discovered that many of them during the first, most difficult stage of labor experience a strong need for bathing, contact with water. So he built a small pool with a length of 2 m and a depth of 80 cm in his clinic. He stated that contact with water causes relief and pain relief of spasms that open the cervix. Some women leave the swimming pool after a short stay in the water and then exit to a cooler atmosphere, which triggers many of them. the pushing reflex, and after 2-3 quick contractions a child is born. It is also possible to remain a woman in the water. In the presence of a midwife, often also father and doctor, it is completely safe for both mother and child.After all, it has been in a friendly environment of fetal waters for the previous nine months. The child therefore comes into the world in conditions well known to him. Within a few seconds after birth, the midwife or mother gently lifts the child to the surface. There, contact with a colder air than water causes the child to cry - a sign of starting to breathe independently.
