Fortunately, hospitals are paying more and more attention to creating a relaxed production environment for pregnant women, but this refers to more than the completeness of medical hardware. The doctor said that when people are psychologically nervous, their muscles are also tense, and the cervix is also a muscle, so the more tense it is, the more difficult it is to open it. Therefore, a warm production environment can make mothers relax, shorten the labor process, get through this stage smoothly and increase the chances of natural delivery.
Warm and comfortable delivery room
Imagine an ideal production environment: an independent room that is not influenced by others; The environment is clean and tidy, and the light and shade can be adjusted; Comfortable products with adjustable height, next to a soft sofa chair; A separate bathroom with a bathtub can take a warm bath to relieve pain; Prepare yoga balls, televisions, stereos, etc. Distract the mother's attention and speed up the delivery process. As a whole, it is as warm as home, and it feels relaxed and comfortable, which is very conducive to natural production. Of course, medical equipment should also be available, and it should not be abrupt.
The best person to accompany the baby.
If there are no special circumstances, of course, it is the baby ta dad. This is the birth of their love crystallization, and it is one of the most important moments for a small family. Dad passed on the care to his mother, so that giving birth to a child was not just a matter for her, but a family experience. The posture of "ballroom dancing" is also a good way to relieve pain. Dad's hand is placed on his mother's waist (often the most uncomfortable part), which can relieve the pain through the heat and * * * of his palm. More importantly, the sense of security entrusted by him completely relaxes his mother's mind and makes her feel comfortable.
However, after all, the person accompanying the baby has to face the pain of the parturient, accompany the parturient for more than ten hours, and cope with possible emergencies. So this person needs to know the production process and have good psychological and physical qualities. Mothers, mother-in-law, sisters and close friends are also considered.
Other methods
Dr. Yang mentioned that one of her mothers was a member of the choir. She recorded a CD and played it during childbirth. Music has magical power in many cases, which makes people quiet and calm down. If mom has other ways to relax, she can also take it to the delivery room, such as reading, drawing, watching movies and so on.
Nowadays, many hospitals also provide music guidance services. The biggest difference between music guidance and ordinary medical staff is that music guidance pays more attention to psychological care. Doula is experienced, amiable, gentle in speech and provides one-on-one service. In the whole production process, Doula patiently takes care of the maternal feelings and guides the maternal to adjust the way of breathing and exertion. Trust built in a short time may sometimes be more helpful than inexperienced and nervous family members.
A good productive atmosphere is like meditation.
