After 40 weeks of pregnancy, the baby didn't start. Why do many pregnant mothers have oxytocin or caesarean section?

The baby was conceived on 10, and it was delivered naturally at the expected date of delivery, but there are some comparisons. Naughty? My baby just hasn't come out after the due date. You know that at such a young age? Only mom is good in the world? Don't want to leave the warm one for mom? Small house? . For this kind of pregnant woman who has not yet given birth, some doctors will advise patience, some doctors will advise induced labor, but some will not get out even if induced labor, so they have to go through caesarean section and finally choose caesarean section.

But expectant mothers don't have to worry too much. It's natural to get pregnant and have a baby. When it comes to having children, we should listen to the doctor's advice according to the actual situation. During pregnancy, you can read more books about pregnancy and childbirth and learn more about this common sense, so that you won't be at a loss when you encounter something.

Let's talk about it first What should I do if the fetus hasn't started at 40 weeks' gestation?

The expected date of delivery is only an estimated baby's birthday. In fact, there are very few babies born in the expected date of delivery, and most of them are born around two weeks before and after pregnancy. And clinically, as long as the fetus is expected to give birth? Born within 2 weeks, all belong to the normal delivery time.

So what should expectant mothers do if they don't start giving birth to their babies before the expected date of delivery, because the delivery methods are divided into natural delivery and caesarean section, and expectant mothers with different delivery methods have different treatment methods.

1. expectant mothers who give birth naturally

If the expected date of delivery, that is, the day when the baby is 40 weeks pregnant, what should the expectant mother do first? Wait patiently? Instead of rushing to induce labor; If the fetus has not started at 4 1 week, the doctor will consider oxytocin to induce labor.

Generally speaking, doctors will advise expectant mothers to induce labor through exercise first, that is, properly strengthen exercise to promote the fetus to enter the basin, and at the same time exercise the pelvic floor muscles to increase productivity. Usually suggested exercise methods are walking, gymnastics, climbing stairs, etc.

If the exercise induced labor is ineffective, the doctor will use drugs to induce labor, but before using oxytocin, the expectant mother will be given B-ultrasound examination and obstetric examination to evaluate the fetal condition and placental function. If you can't give birth naturally within a period of time after injecting oxytocin, the doctor will recommend cesarean section, because the longer the time, the greater the risk for the baby and the expectant mother.

2. Pregnant women by caesarean section

If you decide to choose caesarean section, doctors generally won't let expectant mothers induce labor. Only when the fetus is mature, or the expectant mother's body is not suitable for the fetus to stay any longer, the doctor will do caesarean section.

By the due date, why do many pregnant mothers still have caesarean section after oxytocin?

After taking oxytocin for a period of time, I still can't give birth naturally. For the safety of mother and baby, doctors will recommend caesarean section for the following reasons.

? Maternal women are not sensitive to oxytocin

Due to individual differences, some parturients will have rejection after taking oxytocin, that is to say, oxytocin enters the body, but the body does not absorb it, which is mainly related to the fact that the parturient is usually too nervous and has little activity.

? Birth canal problem

If the expectant mother's pelvis and fetal head are asymmetrical, it is useless to take oxytocin injections. Oxytocin needle only helps the uterus to strengthen contraction, but it can't directly help the fetus enter the basin.

The effect is not ideal, and the palace mouth is open for too long.

Generally, the best time to use oxytocin is about 3 days. If the cervical opening is still unsatisfactory after 3 days, there is no need to inject oxytocin.

On the one hand, the mental state of the parturient may not be very good, and she may be exhausted. Even if the cervix is completely open, she may not be in the best state of delivery. On the other hand, the longer the duration, the greater the possibility of fetal hypoxia. In case of fetal distress, cut the fetus in the right direction.

In short, don't think that a shot of oxytocin can give birth smoothly. Oxytocin is only a kind of human intervention, which can strengthen uterine contraction and soften cervix. Whether or not to give birth naturally depends on three factors: productivity, birth canal and fetal size. Therefore, even if oxytocin is given, other conditions are not good, and it is still impossible to give birth naturally, and it is necessary to switch to caesarean section.

Expectant mothers should know this in advance. Don't wait until that moment, the doctor suggested caesarean section, and I don't know what happened, so it is easy to be dangerous.
