Water birth is a long-established method of childbirth that has been practiced for the last thirty years. At this stage, it is practiced in some countries. Many Chinese feel that the lack of water births in China is undoubtedly due to the physical condition of the country or to traditional elements, but the truth is that this type of water birth has not gained enough credibility with doctors. water births were officially recognized in the United States in 1993, with about 1% of the population using this type of birth. However, even though there are a number of maternity centers abroad that offer water births, the Foreign Pediatric Nursing Association has issued a statement stating that it is not compatible with water births. Therefore, it is self-evident that the method of water birth is not so fashionable, so what is the reason?
First, the benefits of water birth, such as improving the endocrine system of pregnant women, reduce swelling; ease the pain of childbirth, etc. In 2009, an authoritative literature documented a survey on water birth, analyzing the benefits of water birth only occurs in the first stage of labor, and only reduces the application of epidural anesthesia labor analgesia percentage. However, there were no strong elements for the fetal baby's and perineum. In recent years, it has been found that there are many disadvantages of water birth, such as increased risk of bacterial infections in the newborn baby and the mother, increased risk of rupture of the newborn baby, and even causing the newborn baby to fall into the water. Statistical analysis of the literature shows that 12% of newborn babies delivered in water have to be moved to ICU after delivery, and there are even reports of newborn deaths. Therefore, the practical significance of water birth must be further certified.
Secondly, although the benefits of water birth are being publicized, the quality of the available references is not satisfactory, and the benefits of water birth, other than pain relief before the opening of the uterus, need to be further investigated. For water birth, medical equipment and utensils need to be sterilized. The water after delivery contains a lot of your blood. The treatment of such a large amount of sewage will completely increase the amount of work. China's basic national conditions do not allow such a wasteful expenditure of hospital outpatient labor and material resources. Doctors and nurses have long been busy hands and feet, unlikely to go back to let you prepare hot water in advance.
Some people may be concerned that if a baby is born in the water, will it not be easy to choke on the water? We all adults in the water if you do not hold your breath are choking, and can also be dangerous, is that the newborn baby does not have this concern? It's as if a newborn baby stayed in its mother's amniotic fluid for 10 months and didn't choke on it, right? So it's really doubtful that a pregnant mother can deliver her baby in water without the risk of choking. I feel that all a kind of delivery method for pregnant mothers are not painless, only to reduce the pain, including nowadays by a lot of people agree with the labor analgesia, are in the uterus contraction gradually after the opening of a few fingers to be able to play painless, not at the beginning can be used, and the cesarean section in the birth of a child in the process of the most likely not much pain, but after the birth of a child, the anesthesia of anesthesia medicine medicine a pass, is very painful.
These are all very painful, so it's a tough thing for a woman to do, and it comes with risks.
This is the first time I've ever seen a woman with a baby in her arms.
