After 40 weeks of pregnancy, it didn't start. Why did you give oxytocin and have a caesarean section?

Hello, I'm Ma Jing, and I'm glad to answer your question.

As the saying goes? Pregnant in October, the melon is ripe. This is a natural process of pregnancy and childbirth. However, some babies are reluctant to come out even after the expected date of delivery, which will worry expectant mothers.

In fact, among women who give birth naturally, only a few women give birth at the expected date of birth, and most of them give birth within two weeks before and after the expected date of birth. After all? Due date? It's just a forecast date, which means forecast. In fact, when the fetus begins to give birth depends on the specific situation of the fetus and the expectant mother.

I'm 40 weeks pregnant and the baby hasn't started yet. Why do many pregnant mothers give oxytocin and have caesarean section? 1. First of all, the fetus has not started at 40 weeks of pregnancy. What should I do?

As mentioned earlier, the expected date of delivery is estimated, as long as the fetus is in the expected date of delivery? Born within 2 weeks, which is the normal delivery time.

(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.

PS: 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. Do you have any recommended exercise methods? 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) the expectant mother of 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.

2. The main reasons for caesarean section after oxytocin injection are as follows.

As I said before, if you can't give birth naturally after taking oxytocin for a while, the doctor will recommend caesarean section for the following reasons.

① 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 maternal tension, low activity and cervical edema.

② 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.

(3) The effect is not ideal, and the uterus 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 be not very good, and she may be tired. Even if the cervix is fully open, she may not be able to give birth in the best state. 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 just an intervention, which can strengthen uterine contraction and soften the cervix.

Whether to give birth naturally depends on three factors: productivity, birth canal and fetal size. Therefore, even if oxytocin is given and other conditions are not good, 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. It's not clear what's going on now, and it may be dangerous.
