Before the time of delivery arrived, pregnant women would have prepared everything related to the process. But in reality, childbirth may not be in accordance with what pregnant women have prepared.
Childbirth can be a process that makes women feel raging. Feelings that arise vary, ranging from fear of childbirth to pleasure, because the wait after nine months containing the baby will be over. However, unexpected things might happen during labor.
Unexpected Things That Can Happen During Labor
The following are unexpected things that might occur during childbirth:
1. Defecate when pushing
When pushing, pregnant women will use the muscles used to remove feces during bowel movements. These muscles are very strong and effective for pushing the baby through the birth canal.
Because using the same muscle, pregnant women may pass stool during labor. No need to be embarrassed or feel bad, because it normally happens. Doctors and midwives are also used to dealing with it. They will immediately clean the stool that comes out and continue the delivery process.
2. Rupture of membranes without being felt
Maybe Bumil thinks the rupture of membranes is always like the scene in a movie, that is, the amniotic fluid runs down the thighs to the feet. However, rupture of membranes is not always like that. Pregnant amniotic fluid can flow slowly, even until it is not felt at all. This unexpected thing can make you think that your membranes haven't broken.
3. The baby does not come out after straining
The next unexpected thing is the length of the baby's discharge after straining. When starting to push, the time needed to push the baby into the birth canal varies, depending on the condition of the mother and baby. During labor, the doctor will monitor the duration of this process.
If the baby is indeed difficult to be removed, while pregnant women do not have the energy to push, labor will be assisted with tools, such as vacuum or forceps.
4. Complications during labor
Although the mother and fetus are monitored healthy and normal during pregnancy, complications can occur during delivery. Some complications that may occur are infection due to prolonged labor, the baby's neck is wrapped around the umbilical cord during labor, the umbilical cord is born before the baby's head, the placenta covers the birth canal (placenta previa) which is only known when labor begins, or the baby does not cry immediately after birth.
5. Need an episiotomy to remove the baby
An episiotomy is a cut in the skin tissue in the perineum, the area between the birth canal and the anus. This action is done so that the space for the baby to come out is bigger. Episiotomy is an unexpected thing that needs to be done to help the labor process.
Even so, there are a number of things you can do to reduce the possibility of an episiotomy procedure, such as breathing exercises and vaginal stretching before the time of delivery.
There are various unexpected things that can happen during labor. This will be different for each expectant mother. Even so, don't worry too much, Bumil. The most important thing that pregnant women need to do is to prepare themselves as well as possible and conduct routine checks to the obstetrician.
