Tips for natural childbirth without episiotomy or tearing

Choosing a natural birth is the dream of every mother, but when choosing a natural birth, many women know that they may have a tear due to the narrow birth canal, or they may have to use an episiotomy to avoid a tear. Whether it is a tear or an episiotomy, it will cause great pain to pregnant women. So, how can you choose a natural birth without episiotomy or tearing?

1. During pregnancy, you must ensure a balanced diet and ensure that your weight gain is in compliance with regulations. If you want to avoid episiotomy or laceration during natural delivery, you need to control the baby's weight within an ideal range, so that the baby can pass through the birth canal smoothly, and avoid having to choose episiotomy or laceration because the baby is too big and cannot be delivered smoothly, which will cause great pain to mothers. In fact, in order to ensure the normal weight of the fetus, you must ensure a balanced diet. However, it is important to prevent the newborn from having too high a birth weight, as this may result in a macrosomia and put the choice of natural birth at a disadvantage.

2. Actively carry out anal contraction training during pregnancy. If pregnant women want a more successful delivery, it is best to start actively carrying out anal contraction exercises during pregnancy. When urinating, stop urinating, hold for ten seconds, then continue, relax, and repeat this more than ten times. Exercise at least three times a day, which can control the pelvic muscles and make it easier when choosing a natural birth.

3. Learn to use appropriate strength during production. When many women give birth, they actually don't know when they should push and when not to push. They must push under the guidance of a doctor, who knows when to push. They must not push at will and waste their energy. When they really need to push, they find they have no strength left. Especially when the fetal head is about to come out, they must exert their greatest strength so that they can successfully give birth to their baby.

How to heal the episiotomy wound quickly

The episiotomy wound caused by normal delivery must be well cared for, otherwise it is very easy to cause wound infection and harm the health of the pregnant woman. If you want to breastfeed, it is generally not recommended to use medication. Now we will teach you how to care for the episiotomy wound caused by normal delivery as soon as possible.

1. After giving birth, you should eat more high-fiber foods, drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, drink more fish head soup and pig's foot soup, and don't eat too much meat, spicy food, irritating food, and non-digestible food to prevent constipation.

2. Change sanitary napkins and maternity napkins frequently to keep the private parts clean to prevent wound infection and prevent postpartum lochia from soaking the wound, which is not conducive to wound repair. Disinfect and sterilize the wound every day. After defecation, it is best to wipe the private parts from front to back with disinfectant cotton.

3. Get out of bed as soon as possible after giving birth. Be careful not to squat hard within a few days after the stitches are removed. When defecating, you should first retract the perineum and buttocks before sitting on the toilet to avoid the perineum wound from cracking. When sitting, the center of gravity of the body should be tilted to the right to avoid the wound from being stressed and causing the wound skin to separate. Avoid falling or excessive external rotation of the thigh roots to cause the wound to crack again. It is not advisable to be hospitalized on the day the stitches are removed, because wound cracking often occurs on the day of surgery.

4. Prevent abscesses from forming in the wound. If the wound is still painful, it may be an abscess. It is best to ask the doctor to apply medicine to treat it and reduce the swelling quickly.

5. Don’t lift anything: During the confinement period, don’t lift anything, don’t do energy-consuming housework or exercise.

6. It is not recommended to have sexual intercourse within six weeks after giving birth.

7. After the wound is repaired, if there is pain, lumps, pustules or the sutures are not absorbed, you should use detoxifying ointment in time to help remove the knots and deeply reduce inflammation.
