What is the joke of lying-in women looking at nurses?

Xiao Li, a pregnant mother, is the first child. As the delivery date approaches, she becomes more and more nervous, thinking all day, fearing that something will happen. The nurses said this was a normal phenomenon, which reassured Xiaoli. One day, the doctor came to make rounds. She heard the doctor tell the nurse that Xiaoli's cervical canal was disappearing and told them to prepare in advance. Xiaoli listened in surprise. After the doctor left, she quickly took the nurse's hand and asked her, "What's the big problem with my cervical canal disappearing?" Will it affect my production? Will the child have anything? " The nurse smiled after hearing her words. She comforted Xiaoli and said, "Don't be afraid or nervous. The disappearance of the cervical canal is a normal phenomenon and a precursor to labor. " Xiaoli was relieved after hearing this, and immediately blushed, embarrassed by her ignorance.

In fact, the doctor in the delivery room still has a lot of code words, so pregnant mothers must understand and avoid making jokes like Xiaoli again.

Code word 1: the cervical canal disappears.

The cervical canal connects the uterus and vagina. Many treasure moms will think this is a very serious problem. In fact, the disappearance of cervical canal represents the progress of maternal production. The cervical canal begins to taper, and the cervical fluid flows out of the vagina, which is a sign that the parturient is about to give birth. As for how many days it takes for the cervical canal to disappear, it depends on the physique of each parturient, and the length varies. The cervical canal must disappear completely, reaching 10 cm wide, so that the baby can come out smoothly.

Code 2: Open your fingers.

In the process of delivery, doctors need to constantly check the maternal body. At this time, the word that mothers often hear is "open your fingers". "Open your fingers" is not what most women usually think, but refers to the opening of the cervix by a few centimeters, and one finger is one centimeter. After the cervical canal disappears, the cervical opening gradually begins to open, and when it reaches 10 cm, the full-term fetus can pass normally.

Codeword 3: Heifer

Many pregnant mothers will understand this argot as breastfeeding or lactation, but it does not refer to any kind of drink and has nothing to do with real cattle. The "calf" in the mouth of medical staff is another name for anesthetic. Many parturients are already in a state of high tension during the production process. If the doctor talks about anesthesia at this time, the parturient will be more nervous. Milky white anesthetic is similar to the color of milk, so doctors call it anesthetic.

Codeword 4: Prepare skin

This code word is often associated with pregnant mothers and skin, and many people can't guess its true meaning. Skin preparation refers to removing hair from the corresponding part of the operation to clean the body surface, including skin cleaning. Shaving the pubic hair at the perineum of the parturient during delivery also includes skin cleaning to avoid infection, which has no actual contact with the skin.

Code 5: lateral episiotomy.

Many pregnant women are afraid of this word. In fact, the reason for lateral cutting is that the fetal head is large or not straight, or it is inconvenient in other aspects. Direct delivery can lead to severe tearing and even dystocia. Lateral incision can prevent perineum from tearing and protect pelvic muscles, so doctors will choose lateral incision, which is usually used for natural delivery. Pregnant mothers don't have to worry too much

In addition to the above, there are actually many codewords in the delivery room, but in any case, it is most important to cooperate with the doctor to give birth to the baby. Mothers should relax and welcome the arrival of their babies. Where are the mothers? Do you remember what the paramedics said in the delivery room?
