Nine long months are running out, relatives are languishing in anticipation, the husband is on his nerves, well, you are in horror! The child is happiness, but what precedes it ... Do you remember from the school from the stories of aunts, grandmothers and just how it's from whence that they are all "worn out!" So many hours, in terrible pains, that God forbid! .. "And somehow he does not think at all about the forthcoming happiness of motherhood, but more and more about the cruel fate of an unhappy mother. And so every time, already taking fear for a given, the future mothers go to the hospital. It's insulting and stupid. After all, labor without pain is not a fairy tale, but a reality. And it's not out there, but here, next to, inside each of us. One has only to believe that everything can and should be different. And it will be so.
THE LEGEND OF LILIT.
It all started in paradise. Approximately 7000 years ago. Those who read the Bible know that, while driving our grandparents out of their garden, the Lord threatened Eve with his fist and said something like this: "From now on, in pain and torment, you will give birth to your children." Such terrible was the punishment for the theft of apples ... Adam "burned" less: he was only ordered to cultivate the land "in the sweat of his own" - and this duty, he also over time, threw on his wife.
However, the ancient Jewish legends (which, incidentally, were very fond of the writers of the Silver Age) mention a certain Lilith - the first wife of Adam. This wonderful woman did not want to recognize the primacy of the man, rightly believing that since the Lord created them at the same time, then their rights should be equal ... In general, they did not agree with the characters - and Lilith left. Adam then from the rib made another woman - an obedient and complaisant fruit lover. Further you know.
So, Lilith did not eat apples! And therefore I did not know the divine curse. Commandment "Be fruitful and multiply", she managed to get, but about pain and agony, sorry, was not aware of. She, leaving sometimes paradise booths, wandered on the ground and seduced Adam's children, not knowing the sin. And the daughter of Lilith, unlike Eve's daughters, gives birth without pain. They even say that they are able to experience orgasm during childbirth ...
EVERYONE - BY FAITH HIM.
- Indeed, - confirmed an anesthesiologist Vyacheslav Shchepatov, - about 10% of women do not experience pain during labor. But most still need anesthesia.
Unfortunately, we do not have enough prenatal training courses, where women would be prepared for the upcoming not only psychologically, but practically - they would learn to breathe properly, react correctly to the bout, and relax in time. The woman who is waiting for the "wild pain" (which should not be in normal sorts) falls into a vicious circle: fear - nervous spasm - pain - spasm - more pain ... As the wonderful Woland said: "Everyone will by his faith!" Believe that it will be painfully painful - it will hurt. Believe that you are the daughter of Lilith, - you will bear easily (even if it later turns out that your grandmother recorded in the metrics all the same Eva). Much would be much less if a woman, going to relatives, thought not about pain, but about the baby, who already now will be born ... And the doctor will think about anesthesia.
MEDICAL EFFECTS.
Anesthesia in childbirth is almost always used. Doctors have no sense in making you suffer in vain. Most often in Russian maternity homes a method is used, which we call "general anesthesia" in simplicity, - anesthetics are injected into a vein. To anesthetize the entire birth process entirely (12-14 hours) - there is no sense: firstly, the initial stage of childbirth (4-5 hours) by itself proceeds painlessly or almost painlessly, besides at certain times pain dictates the behavior of the mother, and the analgesic weakens labor activity; secondly, the excess of drugs "hits the brains" of a woman; thirdly, doctors must comply with the dosage in order not to harm the child. Therefore, only the culmination of labor is anesthetized. Anesthetics can be administered no more than 2 times throughout the delivery with an interval of 4-6 hours. But usually enough one time. Relieving the woman of pain, the drug relieves her and of spasms, thereby facilitating the opening of the cervix. For about 2 hours the woman "turns off", falls asleep, and the process in the meantime goes by itself. True, modern impatient women want the birth to go completely without pain. Willingly pecking at ads "Childbirth with anesthesia," agreeing to pay extra for this decent amount.
BEAUTY ANESTHESIA.
She is epidural. It is sold by merchants who promise absolutely painless childbirth. Do not miss everything that is sold. This does not suit everyone. Like any procedure, peredural anesthesia has indications and contraindications.
Indications: congenital and acquired heart defects, lung diseases with respiratory failure (asthma, operated lungs), myopia, high blood pressure, chronic renal failure.
Contraindications: intolerance to local anesthetic, pustular lesions of the skin at the puncture site, kyphoscoliosis, osteochondrosis, traumas of the skull and spine, neurological diseases (including epilepsy).
Peredural anesthesia is when an anesthetic is injected between the vertebrae, which blocks pain signals sent from the uterus to the brain. Gradually, the entire lower body loses sensitivity, grows dumb, becomes immovable. The birth in this case is not only absolutely pain-free, but also somewhat faster than usual, since there is no pain - there are no spasms, the process itself is easier. However, peredural anesthesia - the procedure is risky and fraught with complications: it is possible to lower blood pressure and severe headaches. Therefore, peredural anesthesia can be carried out only by an anesthesiologist, who has received special training. Therefore, do not take the risk and buy this service in "commercial clinics". Agree to pereduralnuyu only in maternity homes, where it has long been successfully practiced and experts checked. And only if there is evidence for this.
