The anesthesiologist performs labor analgesia for the mother.
The mother and son are safe, and the midwife takes good care of the mother who gave birth.
Red Net Time News October 18 (Correspondent Huang Ying) Forceps midwifery is one of the fast ways to terminate pregnancy when fetal intrauterine distress occurs. It is also an important obstetric surgery to solve difficult labor. It can effectively shorten the second labor process and quickly deliver the fetus. Against the background of the country's advocacy of natural childbirth and reducing the rate of cesarean section, forceps midwifery is increasingly valued and promoted. Implementing this technology to protect the safety of mother and baby in critical moments is no less difficult for doctors than a caesarean section.
"Thank you so much, let us mother and son be safe." Ms. Huang held Director Wu Maihua's hand and kept saying thank you, shed tears of excitement. Recently, Ms. Huang, a 39-week-old mother, suddenly broke the water. She went to Changsha Baijia Maria Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital for delivery. Ms. Huang and her family planned to give birth naturally. Director Wu Maihua respected Ms. Huang and her family's decision and immediately formulated diagnostic and treatment measures for her: intravenous oxytocin induction of labor and antibiotics to prevent intrauterine infection.
As contraction starts, when the cervix is opened to 4cm, cervical edema is found. Ms. Huang has not eaten after signs of labor, and has become exhausted and has stagnant labor, which has caused secondary uterine contraction and fatigue. Considering the mother and her family's intention to give birth naturally, Director Wu Maihua immediately arranged for anesthesia department to undergo a series of treatments such as childbirth analgesia, etc. Soon after, the uterine mouth was completely opened, and the amniotic fluid was turbid (II degree pollution), and the contraction continued. The fetal heart monitor showed that the fetal heart dropped to 70-100 times/min, and it could not recover. The fetus must be removed from the hypoxic environment as soon as possible, otherwise it would be in danger of life. Because Ms. Huang lacks proficiency and relying solely on her own efforts, it is difficult to give birth and her condition is critical.
After a comprehensive evaluation, Wu Maihua communicated with the pregnant woman and her family and decided to immediately perform perineal lateral incision and maternity surgery to terminate the pregnancy. This is not only more beneficial to the fetus, but also avoids the risks of severe lacerations, major bleeding and postoperative infection in the lower part of the pregnant woman due to cesarean section. Director Wu Maihua patiently explained the condition to Ms. Huang to relieve her nervousness and anxiety. On the other hand, she asked the neonatologist to go to the delivery room to prepare for the newborn's resuscitation. During the operation, the doctors and midwives performed their duties, cooperated tacitly, and carried out various tasks skillfully. Five minutes later, a baby boy of 6 pounds and 8 ounces was successfully delivered. After the operation, the mother and baby were checked without complications, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
[Scientific prevention of difficult labor, pregnant mothers see here]
First, regularly check in, know your health status, and know in advance whether you are suitable for vaginal delivery. Some situations such as huge fetus and severe pelvic inconsistency are not suitable for vaginal delivery.
Secondly, you should pay attention to controlling your weight during pregnancy and not let your baby be too heavy, otherwise it will increase the chance of dysfunction.
Third, in the late stage of pregnancy, pay attention to exercise to enhance physical fitness, take a walk every day, and don’t be a “lazy mother”. After all, when the second labor process requires a lot of effort to give birth, physical fitness is the accelerator for "unloading".
