Signs of labor

Signs of labor. Female companions this time the author would like try to explain about the signs of labor. Now this writer is facing an accidental pregnancy to two pregnancies, what want to give birth..? Simultaneously, the muscles of the uterus begin to shrink and stretching movements alternately, constantly regularly. Muscle movements such as the uterus are called the contraction.

What it is like a contraction? Some say pain such as pressing, stiff and tense in the stomach, especially the lower, or heartburn as if to defecate.

To be sure, the frequency of contractions progressively increase, so does the strength. Initially, the distance of time between contractions and the next one is quite long, usually every other hour. Then, increasingly shortened, can be every 30 minutes, 15 minutes, and by the time the baby is born, a distance of contraction can be 2 or 1 minute.

When the distance between the contractions are still far away, may feel pain only in the upper abdomen. But along with this initial progress, the more pain radiating to the lower abdomen, even toward the lower back and the back waist. When the cervix has opened perfectly, great pain in the area was going to be very strong.

Birth signs II: Street of birth to open

When the muscles of the uterus to shrink, the size of the uterus will shrink, so that the head of the fetus increasingly pushed toward the bottom (the birth canal). Simultaneously, the cervix gradually opens.

You need to know, since the occurrence of pregnancy, the cervix is ​​naturally covered by a sort of thick mucus plugs. Mucus plug is in charge of keeping the pregnancy can continue running while protecting the fetus from germs. Well, early in the opening stages of cervical mucus plug is open and mucus (pink) out through the vagina.

Cervix which was originally only open slightly, along with the advent of an increasingly strong contractions, will continue to soften and open more broadly. Over time, the cervix will look more flat and blend with the bottom of the uterus. When this is complete the opening occurs.

The opening of the cervix is ​​usually calculated with units of centimeters (cm). If the doctor says your cervix is ​​the opening 8, which means the birth canal was opened along the 8 cm. The opening of the cervix is ​​said to complete when it reaches the opening 10, or 10 cm.

The duration of the opening stage of the birth canal from the beginning to the perfect, vary in each pregnancy. However, clearly divided into stages of labor:

• Kala / latent phase I: at the beginning of opening up without opening 2, which can last 24-48 hours,
• When I active: starting from the opening of 3-10, which lasted about 7 hours on the first child labor, 3 1 / 2 hour of labor is not the first.
• Kala II: so-called phase pushing, at the opening 10/lengkap that can last a maximum of 1 hour.
• Kala III: is the phase of delivery of the placenta, only lasted about 15 minutes.

It is important to remember, towards the end of the first stage, even if you feel heartburn incredible, you are still not allowed to push. Because, at this time the cervix has not opened completely. When you push this time, could result in the birth canal swollen and tearing occurs.

Breathe in deeply and exhale slowly. When the cervix is ​​completely open, it means you've passed the first stage of labor, and ready to go to the second stage, namely the birth of a baby.

Birth signs III: Ready birth

When there are no obstacles, such as the umbilical cord is wrapped around the fetal limbs, then the stage known as the second stage takes place much faster than the previous stage. Along with that, naturally, uterus and vagina will form a sort of basin which becomes the path to pass the baby. Today, you will feel a very strong pressure on the perineum (area between vagina and anus).

When the fetal head was at the door and ready to go out, mucus and blood coming out of the vagina increase. In addition, the strong pressure of the fetal head will cause the wrapper fetal amniotic sac rupture early or at full opening, making amniotic fluid wetting out the vaginal area. This fluid and make the birth more slippery that it allows the baby slid out smoothly. After the opening is really complete and the baby's head is visible at the door of birth, when this is you are allowed to push.

Just follow the guide carefully you labor helpers. Follow-abanya aba, when you inhale and when to exhale while pushing, Why should they? Because, when straining should be done simultaneously with the contractions came, so that the baby will be easier to slide on the road of birth.

When the baby's head made it out of the mouth of the vagina, the baby's body is still inside will naturally rotate by itself. This condition allows the shoulder and the whole body of the baby out.

After that welcome your baby's presence in the world with love and gratitude. You can ask the helper to bring your baby's birth moment in your arms. And do not forget to call to prayer beside his right ear and left ear iqamah dis ebelah your child.

Signs of birth IV: The placenta off duty

With the birth of the baby, placenta job well done or the placenta that had accompanied him in the womb. The placenta is responsible for 9 months supply of nutrients and oxygen, remove metabolic waste as well as organs that supply the body's antibodies to the fetus, also should be born. Processes that occur in this third stage usually lasts no more than 15 minutes.

Nature has set, after the baby came out, the contractions are still ongoing, though not as powerful as before. The goal is to help release the attachment of the placenta from the uterine wall. Almost the same as the birth of a baby, you will be asked to push along with the arrival of contraction.

To check whether the whole placenta is detached from the uterine wall or not, helper labor will push your stomach. After that, he would slowly pull the cord to the placenta to come out. After the placenta and umbilical cord out, then your body is cleansed.
