There are often scenes in film and television dramas where the father of the child is pacing back and forth in the delivery room with an anxious face. When the child's first cry came from inside, he cried with joy.
Although there are artistic elements in film and television dramas, the situation in real life is probably more exciting.
Because it is a life connected with one's own blood, carrying countless hopes. After the excitement, you have to worry about the health of the newborn.
Although 10 can know the baby's development through B-ultrasound and fetal heart monitoring, it is impossible to see the baby directly through a layer of belly.
Therefore, after the baby is born, prospective parents are eager to know whether the baby's development meets the standards and whether the body is healthy.
If the following three criteria are met, the newborn is in good health. Come and see how many babies you have!
First, cry loudly.
Why do newborn babies cry? That's because he has been in his mother's stomach for nearly ten months, and all the oxygen his body needs is transported through the umbilical cord, and his lungs haven't started working yet.
With the birth of the baby, he can no longer stay in the amniotic fluid, and he needs to breathe oxygen by himself at this time.
The baby's lungs open and take the first breath of air. The impact of gas will stimulate the baby's vocal cords and make him cry.
And suddenly leave the familiar environment and come to a strange place, still sticky. He will feel uncomfortable, strange and at a loss, and he will vent his anger by crying.
The louder the baby cries, the healthier he is. If the baby can't cry, the doctor will stimulate him to cry by tapping his feet or pinching his meat.
Newborns who seldom cry need special attention, because they are likely to have brain development defects, hypoxia or foreign bodies in the respiratory tract.
Second, the weight is up to standard
The standard weight of a newborn is between 2.5 and 4 kilograms. If the child's weight falls within this range after birth, it is normal weight.
Overweight is usually premature, they are born into this world ahead of time for some reasons, and then they develop well. Therefore, premature babies are generally weak and prone to illness.
Overweight doesn't mean good development, it means overnutrition. After all, the mother's uterus space is limited, and the baby will be wronged if it is too big.
Moreover, you can only choose caesarean section when giving birth, because if you give birth naturally, it is likely to be difficult to deliver, which will tear the parturient's birth canal.
Therefore, there is no need for pregnant women to make their babies fat in vain and blindly supplement nutrition.
Third, the date of birth is very close to the expected date of delivery.
The expected date of delivery is the date calculated by the doctor through ovulation time and pregnancy cycle. However, it is not an exact date, because various factors may lead to the early or late birth of the child.
However, if it is advanced or delayed within one week, it means that the child is well developed in all aspects and belongs to a full-term baby.
If the difference is too big, like those born in eight or nine months, they belong to premature babies. Premature infants are weak at birth, and their physical development in all aspects is not as good as that of full-term infants.
If the newborn baby meets the above three requirements, congratulations, he is healthy. It doesn't matter if it doesn't meet the requirements. The baby is still in the development stage after birth, and mom and dad can still make up for the lack of birth through the efforts of the day after tomorrow.
