Here's a Good Way of Straining when Giving Birth

Straining or the process of pushing a baby out into the birth canal can be daunting or difficult for women who want to give birth normally. Especially if this is the first birth experience. But no need to worry too much, there are some good ways to push so that labor is easier. The process of giving birth normally consists of three stages. The first stage is when the uterus undergoes contraction and there is an opening in the birth canal, this opening occurs in the cervix or cervix. The second stage is the process in which the baby's head has started to get out of the birth canal, and you have to struggle to give birth to your baby. Finally, the stage of discharge of the placenta after the baby is born. Well, the process of pushing occurs when you enter the second stage.

When Should You Start Straining?

The sign of your body ready to start pushing is when the cervix has fully widened to 10 cm. At this time, the contractions that you feel occur every 2 to 3 minutes with a duration of about 1 minute. You will also feel a strong pressure on the anus, severe back pain, and a strong desire to push. In order to push well and correctly, let's follow the following tips:
  1. If possible, try to find the most comfortable position when you push. For example, you can squat or lie on your side.
  2. Position the chin above your chest and pull your legs toward your chest. This position will help all your muscles work properly.
  3. Take a deep breath when the contractions come, then hold.
  4. Tighten your abdominal muscles and begin to push until you count to 10.
  5. Then take a quick breath and push back until you count to 10. Repeat one more time.
  6. Try to push three times each time the contraction.
  7. Use all your strength when straining. However, at certain times, you may be asked to push gently, to avoid tearing the perineum and vaginal wall.
  8. Don't tense your face when straining.
  9. Don't forget to rest between contractions to increase your energy.
  10. When straining, you can also use the muscles that you use when you defecate. These muscles are very strong and effective for pushing babies out. You don't need to be afraid of expelling feces when using these muscles, because this is common in labor.
  11. Use the glass to see your baby's head. This can give you motivation and enthusiasm when you feel tired during the labor process. However, do not be discouraged when you see your baby's head is already visible but it is still difficult to be born.
If you use pain medications, such as epidural anesthesia, the urge to push may not be so strong. You might not even feel the urge to push. But if the desire to push appears, ask for help from a doctor or midwife to guide you push well. The length of the delivery process varies for each pregnant woman, depending on the condition of the pregnant woman herself and her baby. Some only take a few minutes, but some are up to hours. If the baby doesn't come out even though he has been pushing well, doctors and midwives will usually help with various medical measures. The most common action is forcep or vacuum.

Saving a baby with diarrhea from dangerous risks

Diarrhea babies tend to be more at risk of complications than adults who are experiencing diarrhea. Diarrhea infants can become dehydrated quickly, even within two hours after diarrhea begins. This condition can be very dangerous, especially in newborns. Newborns, especially those who consume breast milk, do release feces that are thinner and frothier than babies who consume formula milk. This makes the mother sometimes confused to determine whether the stools are normal or not. Normal stools in infants who consume breast milk are generally yellowish, soft-textured, and runny. Although not always the case, newborns who are breastfed can breastfeed up to five times a day. Sometimes because the stomach is full, breast milk stimulates the digestive tract so the baby will defecate right after breastfeeding. When the age is over one month, babies can defecate as much as one to two times per day. Meanwhile, babies who consume formula milk only defecate once a day with stool that is hard...
