For centuries women have babies. It would seem that the new can be learned about childbirth? Nevertheless, there are many misconceptions associated with this important moment for women and interesting facts about which few people know.
1. Only 5% of women give birth on the day, which is defined as the estimated date of delivery (EDD). Usually occurs between the birth of the baby a week before the PRD and two weeks after. It is noteworthy that most of the first-born are born 4 days after the date set by doctors.
2. The woman's water broke unexpectedly, suddenly went into labor, all panicked and took her immediately to the hospital. So usually look childbirth in the movie. But in reality, labor usually starts with contractions, the intensity of which increases gradually. A water breaks just before the start of attempts, when the cervix is fully open. Although 10% of births, and the truth, begin with the discharge of water.
3. How to determine whether it is time to go to the hospital? Help method 4-1-1. At first contractions occur randomly and the break can be up to 15 minutes between them. But gradually the time will be shortened. So if the time between contractions is 4 minutes, and the battle itself - one minute, it's time to gather in the hospital.
4. The first active phase of delivery starts with cervical dilatation of 4 cm. This step in the normal course of delivery can take up to 12 hours. Disclosure of 10 cm - the second phase, which lasts vain attempts and terminates the birth the baby. It lasts from several minutes to several hours. Third - usually the most discreet phase - the birth of the placenta.

After she otpulsiruet child (provided deferred intersection) will receive an additional 100 grams of weight.
6. Pain during childbirth is a helper, not a signal that the body is something went wrong, broken and in need of repair. Therefore, the question of whether anesthesia is achieved in each case individually. Sometimes, it can only slow down the process and interfere with the natural flow of birth, and sometimes, for example, if a woman is too low pain at times - is a must.
7. As shown by a public opinion poll, women impression of childbirth in most cases does not depend on how painful are labor, but on what attitude to themselves they encounter in the hospital. If the staff was friendly and helped to understand what is happening, childbirth were easily and remembered as a positive development. Also the attitude to what is happening affects the awareness of the woman that was going on. If the expectant mother attended courses in preparation for childbirth, read books and do not experiencing illusions about ideal during childbirth - everything is easier and more perceived as a positive experience.
8. 90% of women worry that during childbirth can empty the bowel (if the woman has not delivered an enema, then most likely, it will happen). And because this can interfere with labor, wrong and not at full strength straining. The fact that doctors and midwives this is not surprising - it's a natural process that they see every day. So do not bother with this nonsense and concentrate on the main thing - to the long-awaited birth of his remains.
9. Before the birth, many believe that the most difficult - is the moment of childbirth. But many admit that attempts were perceived by them as a relief, after hours of grueling and painful contractions.
