Childbirth is the physiological process of the birth of children. This process gives us a new life, a new little man. One day a woman realizes that she is pregnant, whether it's two red stripes, an analysis of hCG or just a premonition, the certainty of the birth of a new life inside herself. The woman carries the child to the whole pregnancy, getting used to all pleasant and unpleasant sensations. And only she knows what it's like to be aware of the fact that someone started to live in you, someone started, then someone inside starts tickling the abdominal cavity, like small insects fly inside. Then someone already knocks and stretches the abdomen in all sorts of ways, and, finally, the time comes to get to know Mom with the baby and the baby with Mom. How many hours pass the first birth?
We can not give an exact answer to this question, tk. it is individual. We will consider childbirth step by step.
First step
A woman can feel weak contractions, expressed in pain in the back, in the lower abdomen, diarrhea may start under the influence of certain hormones, so to say natural cleansing of the intestine. If you did not have such a natural cleaning, at your desire you can make an enema in the hospital, or, if you can do it yourself - do it yourself at home. At the first pregnancy, of course, if the first contractions are tolerable, stay home better most of the time, at home the situation is still more familiar and relaxed. Occupy that position that will be comfortable for you. Because there are a lot of sources, and in every hundred tips on how to lie, how to sit, how to stand and many women, despite the fact that they are very hurt, uncomfortable occupy the posture that used by her mother or girlfriend, and even simply familiar. There are no universal positions of the maternity body, under which everyone is equally comfortable, less pain and for the baby is safe. Follow your feelings: you want to walk - go, even better, not able to be upright, lie down or sit down and breathe, breathe, breathe. Do not forget about breathing, it will help you throughout the period of birth.
According to unofficial statistics, the majority of women admitted that the most difficult period for childbirth is the first. In the first period, the main opening of the uterus occurs, and the larger the opening of the uterus, the more pain the woman feels. To make this period easier for a woman to prepare, choose the approach that she will follow at this stage. For example, on the peak of a fight, imagine that you see a beautiful flower, which farther, the more it dissolves, dew drops sparkle on the petals and in the very center of this beauty there is a baby. Do not strain strongly, learn to relax, as it is at the peak of the struggle that you want to shrink, shrink, and thereby you prevent the natural opening of the uterus, try to relax a little, breathe and think that by such actions you are approaching the time of meeting with your unearthly miracle.
Second phase
The onset of the second stage of the woman will feel for sure. Since there is great relief, strong bouts are replaced by attempts, whose frequency can be infrequent, so the mother can even rest a little. But, even if the attempts began with short intervals between them, the woman is still experiencing great relief, moreover, the moment of meeting the mother and the baby is coming closer. During attempts, the panic goes a little, a woman can already fully control, moreover, "lead the further process."
In the second stage, in addition to one's feelings, one must also obey the advice of a midwife, a doctor, since they listen to the baby's heartbeat and can be guided by time, whether it is necessary to accelerate attempts or you can not rush, and also they naturally see already on what "marathon" segment of the birth canal is the child. Because a woman at that time feels irresistible urge to go to the toilet and feels the stretching of the vagina, but she does not know what the real state of things is. Whether it is necessary to intensify the contractions with oxytocin injections or else the pushing contractile movements of the uterus will intensify independently, or an episiotomy (a vaginal incision) is needed. As a rule, at this stage the woman assumes a position of reclining, at an angle of about 45 degrees. The midwife or doctor with directly pushing out movements will help to bend a little more for the woman at the peak of the attempt. As soon as the head appears and then the shoulders, the woman is asked not to press and breathe superficially so that the birth does not accelerate and is under control, it can also prevent the appearance of ruptures. After the birth of the head, the baby's body already passes with ease, and the woman experiences an unprecedented relief, joy, pride, tenderness.
The third stage
This period is indicated by the expulsion of the placenta. The woman is asked to strain, and at this time the midwife pulls the remaining placenta over the umbilical cord, can also use oxytocin again for contractile movements of the uterus. They can massage the mother's belly a little. After the release of the placenta, the midwife carefully examines it, whether the entire placenta has left, or some parts have remained inside.
This stage is not characterized by the presence of pain. The pain can be in the case of sutures, if there were tears. Sutures are applied immediately, until numbness of the perineum has occurred, there will be less discomfort and anesthesia will not be needed. Yes, and the woman at that time is directed to the table where her baby lies, screams, so helpless, so tender and long-awaited. All thoughts are directed to this little bundle, so much demanding mom and milk. Therefore, this psychological factor is no less important when applying sutures. A happy mother lies, admires her children, full of euphoria of anticipation to embrace her baby, put it to her breast. Waiting will not wait, when you can already be alone and enjoy your masterpiece, your small but significant feat. And all because in life there is no more perfect, well-functioning mechanism, without which the whole life system could collapse - this is the miracle of birth, the birth of a new life.
Now you know that it is very difficult to give an unambiguous answer to the question "How many hours are the first birth?" and you have a representation of the gradual course of childbirth.
