After months of waiting, mom is counting the days to see her baby, while daddy supports her.
And this little boy can't wait to see her mom.
But what he doesn't know is that her
mom has to
go through a lot of situatio
ns in this
childbirth.
Lets teach him how he will be born.
First, mom can notice that her baby is moving lower in the pelvis.
This means that the baby
is moving in the position for his birth.
This pressions in the baby's body are soft and it just interrupt his dream.
But when the contractions are more intense and
followed, it keeps the baby awake.
Now, the uterine cavity is more large and thin. There's no possibility for the baby to move
The membranes that
are around
him break and it losses
the liquid
that wrap him.
The contractions for the mom
start with pain on the
back and stomach. This pain
doesn’t go away when
the mom moves or
changes the position.
The average labor for a first time mom is about 12-18 hours.
-Mom has strong and regular contractions between 30-60 seconds every 5 minutes.-The cervix efface and dilate. -The baby moves down.-The water breaks.-Bloody show (pink, brown or red tinged mucous).
The Labor stars when:
The mom is
continually moving,
because the pain is really strong.
She also moves for the baby
to fits into
place.
Time toget out from the uterinecavity!
-The mom will feel desires to push.-The baby's head will show up.-The baby is born and the umbilical cord that connects the mother with her baby, is cut. -This might take 20 minutes or hours.
Before the baby's born, he was in touch just with liquid, all his airways are full of liquid that he must expelled to allow his first breathe. Her lungs expand, her heart starts sending him blood and the placenta stops working. The lung vessels dilate and suddenly a big amount of blood gets in.
The placenta
which provided food and oxygen
the baby through
the umbilical
cord, is expelled.
CesarianSection
This surgical birth is
done by making an incision in
the abdomen
to allow the baby to
be born through
the abdomen.
Moms do cesarian section because: They have health problems, for bad position of the baby, they don’t like the idea of natural birth, etc.
Postpartum Recovery:
-It begins as soon as the placenta is born. -In the following six weeks, the mom will slowly heal and feel better. (Body will adjust and change).
-Period: After 6-8 weeks (no breasting), after several months (breasting)-Grooves.-Lost of hair.-Swelling.-Feeling tired.-Hemorrhoids.-Constipation. -Sweating.
Babies can become too
warm, or overheated (or even too cold).
For example, NEVER leave
your baby in a parked car. The temperature in
cars can increase up to
60° within 5 minutes. Babies have died from
this.
Risks
-Breastfeed: 8 to 12 times a day, every 2 to 3 hours.-Formula milk (ready to serve, liquid or powder to mix with water): 2 to 3 ounces a day, every 3 to 4 hours.
