What is the process of obstetrics and gynecology delivery?

Giving birth to a baby is a relatively natural thing, and it is also the most common phenomenon in obstetrics and gynecology. However, for many expectant mothers, it is a process full of fear and expectation. However, since many women lack experience in childbirth, they often do not know what the process of childbirth is. They are often full of worries and fears about it. They are always afraid of pain and do not know whether the fetus will be harmed during childbirth. In order to alleviate the psychology of mothers, let's take a look at the process of childbirth in obstetrics and gynecology.

The process from the beginning of labor to the delivery of the fetus and its appendages from the mother's body when the pregnancy is 28 weeks or more is called delivery. Delivery between 28 and 37 weeks of gestation is called premature delivery. A birth between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation is called a full-term birth; a birth after 42 weeks of gestation is called a post-term birth.

Labor

The onset of labor is marked by regular and gradually increasing uterine contractions that last for 30 seconds or more, with intervals of 5 to 6 minutes, accompanied by progressive effacement of the cervical canal, dilation of the cervical os, and descent of the fetal presenting part. Labor cannot be suppressed with strong sedatives.

What is the process of childbirth in obstetrics and gynecology?

The total labor process refers to the entire delivery process, from the beginning of regular uterine contractions to the delivery of the fetus and placenta. Divided into 3 stages of labor

The first stage of labor refers to the period from the beginning of labor until the cervix is ​​fully dilated. The cervix of a primipara is tighter and the cervix dilates slowly, which takes 11 to 12 hours; the cervix of a multipara is looser and the cervix dilates faster, which takes 6 to 8 hours.

Second stage of labor: the process from complete dilation of the cervix to delivery of the fetus. It takes 1 to 2 hours for a primipara, but should not exceed 2 hours; it usually takes a few minutes for a multipara, but it can take up to 1 hour, but should not exceed 1 hour.

The third stage of labor: from the delivery of the fetus to the delivery of the placenta and fetal membranes, that is, the process of placental separation and delivery, it takes 5 to 15 minutes and should not exceed 30 minutes.

The above is an introduction to the process of obstetrics and gynecology delivery. After understanding it, we know that there are three stages in the obstetrics and gynecology process of women. This can also dispel the fear of childbirth among many mothers. In fact, you must be mentally prepared before delivery and you must relax. This will be of great help to the delivery. In addition, you must conserve sufficient physical strength before delivery.
