No time
Usually birth lasts 12-14 hours. Rapid at mums giving birth for the first time, make 6 hours, and repeated - from 2 till 4 o'clock. True, it also happens that the duration of high-speed delivery is a standard half-day. But some of their periods are shortened: attempts or fights go faster than necessary. Why does haste arise? Disruption of the uterus: it shrinks more often than necessary. There are several reasons for this.
• Genetic predisposition. If your mother gave birth to you very quickly, it is possible that you will repeat her "feat."
• Functional disruption of the endocrine system. Excessive production of hormones by the adrenal glands or thyroid gland.
• If your first childbirth proceeded quickly, most likely, the second will be even faster.
• Gynecological diseases, inflammation of the pelvic organs can provoke a rapid development of events.
Unfortunately, childbirth is a process that can be accelerated (if necessary). But it will not slow down. Droppers with no-shpoy and other spasmolytic drugs do not serve as a stop-cock. Much depends on you. The main thing is to relax as much as possible, to calm down. And help the baby to be born healthy.
Signal to action
For crumbs speed delivery is as unexpected as for you. He, as can, reports that he is ready to meet with Mom. Do not ignore his desire!
Heaviness in the lower abdomen
The child keeps his head down, so that it would be more convenient to go through the birth canal. Feeling pulling, but not painful. Therefore, you do not need to explain it by saying that "I ate a watermelon". This is the signal: "Mom, pack your bag and go to the hospital." By the way, obtrusive pain in the lower back is also a sure sign of an early birth.
Waste cork
Mucous plug - discharge from the vagina. They can be yellowish, reddish or brownish. In any case, their appearance indicates the beginning of the event.
Bubble gap
This can not be confused with anything: almost a bucket of warm water pours out of the body (according to sensations). However, not all of the bubble bursts itself. It happens that even frequent bouts do not contribute to its rupture. Then it pierces the doctor (do not be afraid, the procedure is painless).
Regular fights
With rapid delivery, the intensity of contractions increases dramatically. So at the first call to the doctor, and get ready to go to the hospital. It is better to sit an extra hour in the prenatal ward than to give birth in the car or on the street. Do you have a predisposition to give birth very quickly? A week before the proposed date, do not go far from home. If childbirth caught you in a store or in a transport, ask for help! The manager will call an ambulance. The wording "frequent contractions, rapid delivery" guarantees fast delivery of the machine. Call your husband. Let him bring things to the hospital and documents.
Do it!
High-speed deliveries are all the same genera, only pass swiftly. The baby has less time to prepare for the journey through the birth canal. You have a very short time for adaptation. You went to the courses, did notes in the notebook, trained ... But the situation is so extraordinary that you can forget about everything. However, there are moments that need to be remembered. Required! Panic and fear are your enemies. Because of them, a lot of adrenaline enters the bloodstream. And this hormone spasms the blood vessels, makes them narrow. The muscles become clamped, almost wooden. In such conditions, the baby can hardly breathe. He just does not have enough oxygen. He loses his strength ... Therefore, think about the baby - this is one of the proven means against panic. One more thing is cyclical actions. Count to yourself to ten, tap your hand on the bed, take a step in the room (if you can walk). Constantly repeating actions are delayed, distracted and help to calm down. Breathe, and do not scream. Contractions are painful - no one denies this. But on how you behave, it depends whether you reduce the pain or multiply. Scream makes the pain twice as strong. Deep breathing and frequent, on the contrary, facilitate childbirth. Because, breathing and exhaling, you work as a diaphragm. It, in turn, massages certain points. So the pain is removed. Scientifically proven. And many have been tested in practice.
Suspend
Slow down swift birth can not. But you can avoid them. At least that's what doctors say. Observe the safety precautions. No matter how active and active you are, slow down the pace. Do not climb the stairs - use the elevator. Do not take any heavy things, except books or knitting, in your hands! And do not overeat (yes, a full stomach is quite capable of becoming a trigger). Eat often and gradually. Do not deny yourself an afternoon rest. Go to bed early, do not snooze. And of course, do not object if the doctor recommends to go to the hospital shortly before the scheduled event. Under the supervision of specialists one of the days will be the happiest in your life.
