The moment of delivery that I had been waiting for for 10 months finally came. When the pregnant mother tried her best to give birth to the baby, the nurse brought the baby to the mother to see it. Many mothers were disappointed when they saw the baby for the first time because it was completely different from the "baby appearance" they had imagined for 10 months, and it was also "huge ugly"!
Before Jiang Chao and Medina participated in the " New Birth Diary " program. Jiang Chao saw his newborn son, and despised his son's eye bubbles on the one hand. The doctor who delivered the baby next to him immediately said: Don't think he is ugly, it's pretty, it looks good at first glance!
In fact, many new parents think that the baby is ugly when they first see him!
The newborn baby is "ugly" and there is a reason why it is "ugly". 8 newborn physiological phenomena are the "master of the scenes" .
However, new mothers don’t have to worry too much. The baby will not always be so "ugly". It will become better after one or two months, and the longer it will be!
Next, let’s follow the Beijing mother to see these physiological phenomena that make newborn babies look ugly. After reading it, you will know what’s going on!
Phenomenon 1: A newborn baby has a big head and a small body
Since the baby grows and develops in the mother's body, he first develops the nervous system and then develops the limbs. Therefore, every time we do a B-ultrasound examination, we always see that the baby has a big head. Relatively speaking, the body is small, but this is a normal situation.
When the baby is born and a period of time after birth, the head is still bigger than the body. Maybe the careful mother has discovered that the doctor will judge whether the baby can give birth to naturally , and The "double-pinal diameter" of the fetus is an important indicator . As long as the head can come out, the body can come out.
After the baby is born, the ratio of head to the whole body is 1:4 (1:8 for adults), and 1/3 of the body weight is also occupied by the head. Therefore, new mothers should not feel strange when they see their baby's head is big and their limbs are short.
Phenomenon 2: After a period of birth, the body curled up like only little frog
The baby develops in the mother's uterus, but as the baby gets bigger, the uterus is obviously not enough to live in. The baby is very smart. They will curl up their bodies and continue to live in the warm and comfortable big house of uterus .
This will cause the baby to maintain this state for a long time after birth, and the limbs are curled up like a little frog. But don’t worry, as the baby grows, the limbs will gradually stretch after a few months.
Some elderly people at home will gait their babies, and they also said that this will make the baby's legs straight and long when they grow up. Of course, there is no scientific basis for such practices as
. Instead, it will artificially affect the baby's natural development. It is not recommended!
Phenomenon III: Babies born with natural birth will deform their heads and have scalp hematoma
Maybe mothers have discovered that babies born with natural births are not as round as babies born with caesarean section.
babies born naturally, have mostly pointed heads, and even have strange shapes. This is because when birth, the baby's head is squeezed by the birth canal and deformed.
but it will not affect brain development. As the baby grows gradually, the shape of the baby's head will gradually return to normal. Novice parents don't have to worry too much.
In addition, if the baby experiences difficult labor during birth, the doctor sometimes uses inducible labor, that is, the fetal head attraction, to help the baby get out of the body smoothly, which can easily cause hematoma on the baby's scalp.
But most of them will also be absorbed and restored within a period of time after birth, so parents don’t have to worry too much.
Phenomenon 4: Newborn babies, fetal hair , and many fetal fat
Newborn babies are like little monkeys, with a dense layer of villi on their body, which is called "fetal hair".
Some babies also have a layer of dirty, greasy white substance on their bodies when they are born, which is called "fetal fat" by doctors.
After the baby is born, the doctor will perform a simple scrub, but it doesn’t matter if the fertilization fat is not processed cleanly. In the next few days, by taking a bath, putting on and taking off clothes, it will be gradually washed and rubbed off. Mothers should not forcefully wash off and remove . This fertilization fat can protect the baby’s skin.
There is no need to worry about the fetal hair on the baby's body that will affect its appearance. It will gradually fall off after birth. At that time, the baby will be a beautiful and cute baby with fair skin!
Phenomenon 5: Soaked in amniotic fluid for a long time before birth, and wrinkled skin after birth
The baby who just gave birth not only looks dirty, but also looks like a lot of wrinkles on the skin, wrinkles are like an elderly person. Many newborns are called "little old men" by their parents.
This is because when the baby is in the mother's body, he is soaked in a warm amniotic fluid environment. After is born, his skin will shrink immediately, and it looks wrinkled.
But don’t worry too much. In the few days after birth, the baby’s skin will shed because the world is too dry, and then it will gradually become smooth and elastic.
Phenomenon Six: Some babies also have Mongolian spots
Mongolian spots are what we commonly call birthmarks. Many babies will have Mongolian spots at the back of their waist or hips when they are born.
The reason is that the baby is affected by melanocyte sedimentation during the development stage. Parents should not think that the baby has Mongolian spots that look dirty or unhealthy.
Some Mongolian spots fade until they disappear as the baby continues to grow up, but some appear on the face, the color is darker, and even does not completely fade with age. This may also be related to genetics.
In short, these previous phenomena are normal neonatal phenomena, and parents should correctly understand . After the baby is born, correctly maintains to help the baby adapt to the world quickly, reduce pit loss, and grow better.
