How to start a baby? This question is particularly relevant to primipara. First of all, there are their precursors. Let's face it, when you can relax, and when you need to start to gather in the hospital?
In just a few weeks before the baby, there are changes that cause unusual sensations in the expectant mom. Since before the due date of delivery is still a lot of time pregnant she is experiencing preterm labor if she starts. Harbingers of births are many women and appear 2-4 weeks until the crumbs into the light. Therefore, if you feel that some of the below-described means not later than 4 weeks, you become a mother.
1. abdominal ptosis. Tummy starts to change shape, falling down, and the future mom suddenly becomes easier to breathe.
2. Urgency "on the bottom." It may often want the toilet "at-large". It's not indigestion, a body is cleaned before delivery.
3. For a week, and even a couple of days before the birth crumb starts to move less. Do not worry! He is OK! Just his head sank lower and already fixed in the pelvis. In addition, it is necessary to protect power before the birth.
4. Changing reaction to external stimuli. And a woman can be as excitable as well as several "inhibited" if facing inward.
5. The cervix prepares for the birth and during the last month of the vaginal mucus can go. If you begin to notice it pink or red streaks, probably before birth only a few days.
6. Training bout. Even before the onset of labor pregnant may feel painless recurrent uterine contractions. If they are not amplified, not becoming a regular, do not rush to meet the hospital. Childbirth may start as a couple of days or a couple of weeks.
How to understand that the real battle begins?For most women, labor begins with the contractions. What a pain during labor? First, there are aching feeling in the lower abdomen and then the uterus begins to contract regularly. The strength of these rate increases, and the frequency of contractions quickened. It may be back pain, the desire to change the position of the body.
The very first fight held from 10-20 minutes intervals, and they are not too strong. Immediately before the birth contractions are at intervals of 1-2 minutes.
In the beginning, do not rush to the hospital. It is better to lie down and relax at home or become a warm shower, massaged them to those areas of the body where there is pain and tension. At home, you will be calmer than in the hospital. The main thing to feel peace and security.
Usually during labor in nulliparous mothers lasts 7-12 hours, so you need to go to the hospital when the contractions become stronger, and their frequency - once in 5-7 minutes.
The main symptoms of the onset of labor - contractions that occur at regular intervals if they go after 5 minutes, then 15, most likely, this is still a preparation period.
Sometimes labor begins not with labor, but with rupture of membranes. It is usually shown as onset of labor in the movie, although in reality it happens not so often. This means that the bag of waters broke and water, which are in front of the head of the baby, moved out of the uterus. This is perfectly normal onset of labor, followed by contractions and normal birth process.
And most importantly: do not worry and do not be nervous, because the adrenaline - a stress hormone - inhibits the process of childbirth. Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
