Can a normal birth take two hours to come out? Why does a normal birth take two hours to come out of the delivery room?

We all know that after a woman's pregnancy reaches a certain stage, she needs to give birth. Natural childbirth is a very common way of childbirth. Many mothers will choose natural childbirth. After a mother gives birth naturally, she usually needs to be observed. The fetus will come out two hours later than a caesarean section. So why does a natural childbirth take two hours longer? Let's take a closer look!

Why did the birth take two hours longer?

The two hours in the delivery room after a normal birth are also the most dangerous period. More than 90% of postpartum hemorrhage and amniotic fluid embolism occur within these two hours. Therefore, the mother needs to be observed for 2 hours after giving birth to ensure that there are no complications.

After childbirth, as the endometrium gradually falls off, mothers will discharge a large amount of lochia. If the amount of lochia exceeds 400 ml, it is considered postpartum hemorrhage and requires further examination and treatment. The doctor also needs to check the mother's uterine fundus, placenta, etc. If the placenta is not delivered after 30 minutes, the placenta needs to be removed manually and checked for completeness. The delivery of the placenta is the third stage of labor. Once the placenta is completely delivered, the entire delivery process is considered complete.

What to do two hours after giving birth?

1. Observe the physical condition and vital signs of the parturient;

2. There is also the placenta. Some women's placentas cannot be delivered smoothly, and doctors need to manually remove the placenta;

3. Also check the amount of bleeding and monitor blood pressure;

4. Uterine contraction;

Be especially vigilant about amniotic fluid embolism, which is very dangerous not only during normal delivery but also 30 minutes after delivery. If there is an emergency, it can be discovered in time, otherwise it will be life-threatening.

Why Caesarean Sections Will Be Available Soon

Because cesarean section is to take the baby out directly through surgery. After taking it out, the suturing begins. If any problems are found during the suturing process, the doctor will find them in time. After the suturing is completed and the observation is almost complete, the baby can be pushed out directly.

Mothers who have had cesarean sections also need to be observed. Giving birth is not just about taking the baby out through surgery. It is also necessary to observe whether there are any complications after the operation. Nurses will frequently make rounds and ask about the detailed conditions of the mothers. It is just that the observation location is different, not that additional observation is not needed.

In short, the two hours after giving birth are very critical. Once you find any abnormality in the mother, press the bell or notify the doctor immediately. Don't be careless.
