Such a natural thing: the baby was born, his mother show, all smiles, and concentrated nurse immediately imposes on the cord two pairs of forceps, and then cuts it and presses the part of the infant clothespin. Voila - the process is finished. It remains to wait for the third stage of labor, while the "born" placenta - and we can say "thank you all".
But we still run it through the "video" and return to the frame cut the umbilical cord. If earlier (in Soviet times), its cut in the first seconds after birth, but tonight It accepted (and according to protocols) pinch the cord when it is fully otpulsiruet and "Calm down." Why and who needs it? We will analyze a baby's point of view.
What happens to the baby?
You probably did not know: moving through the narrow birth canal nascent crumb "loses" reverse blood flow through the umbilical cord to 20% of blood. Simply put, this blood out of him like a "squeezed".
Nature came up with the optimal mechanism, when, after the birth of the child restores blood loss - for the umbilical cord, he receives the necessary blood from the mother. Until the umbilical cord is pulsating - and the nature of it allotted to it about 5-10 minutes, the blood goes to the baby.
Why wait for the "stop"?
The time that is given to the pulse, - a period of some kind of insurance for the baby. If there were complications in childbirth or light baby did not open on time and the baby does not start breathing normally, then entering the blood from the umbilical cord It provides the brain child of oxygen - the nerve cells do not suffer from hypoxia, which, as a rule, can have a negative impact on the development of child.
And what now?
To date, according to obstetric protocol, the umbilical cord is clamped newborn kiddies after it ripple. It would seem - bingo! - work on the mistakes made. But not so rosy as we would like.
According to the same protocol midwifery, women at the time the baby (ie, when the control activities of physicians can not neither the mother nor the partner in childbirth) administered 2 dice oxytocin, which leads to a rapid deceleration of uteroplacental circulation. Simply put, we treat here, and here... Sami can continue.
We hope that this conflict in childbirth in the near future will decide in favor of the mother and baby. And what to do now? Stipulate a nuance with an injection of a doctor and ask for a partner in the delivery to be very careful at the time of "X".
