What preparations does a woman need for childbirth?

In life, many women have no experience because it is their first pregnancy. Sometimes you may feel anxious, depressed, etc. And it gets more serious towards the end of pregnancy. Negative emotions can have adverse effects on both the mother and the fetus. I hope everyone will pay attention to this issue. In fact, there is no need to worry. As long as you make good preparations before delivery, exercise more, and have a balanced diet, generally there will be no problem. Let's take a look at what a woman needs to prepare before giving birth.

1. Toothbrush: A disposable toothbrush or a baby soft-bristled toothbrush. It is recommended to prepare a dozen disposable ones. The mother will be very weak in the first few days, so try to brush your teeth as little as possible. A disposable toothbrush can be used directly while lying down.

2. Towel: After the operation, the mother will be very weak and sweat a lot. You can prepare two towels to dry the head and neck at any time. Also prepare a special one for washing the lower body, as the lochia will be very severe every day.

3. Mattresses, quilts and maternity pads: Choose about ten maternity pads so that lochia will not stain the sheets. Generally, hospitals do not have quilts or mattresses, but they have these things. You can prepare them yourself.

4. Slippers and cotton socks: No matter what season it is, it is recommended to choose slippers with covered heels to avoid discomfort in the joints caused by the wind. Although the time is not long, you still need to be careful and bring 2-3 pairs of socks for replacement. It is not recommended to expose the skin directly in any season, and foot care is very important. Choose thinner ones in summer and longer and thicker ones in winter.

5. Underwear: Choose 4-5 pairs of pure cotton underwear. If the lochia is heavy, you need to change and wash them frequently, so be sure to pay attention to hygiene.

6. Warm water bag: This is very important. Generally, women will feel cold all over after a few minutes in the operating room, and will continue to feel cold after leaving the operating room. Dad can prepare a hot water bag when mom enters the operating room and use it in time when she comes out. Of course, don't make it too hot. After anesthesia surgery, the skin's sensitivity is very low and it is easy to get burned, so the temperature must be controlled well.

7. Salt: 2 bags of fine salt, this is not for eating. Pressing the surgical incision with salt is very helpful for smoothing the internal organs and the incision. Be careful not to sprinkle salt on the wound.

8. Use rice bowls, water cups and spoons to eat: The mother is relatively weak, so it is better to prepare her own tableware and try not to use tableware from a public canteen. In the early stages, soups and liquid foods will be needed, so prepare a spoon that you are more familiar with. Both the birth companion and the mother need to use cups to drink water.
