The birth of a baby is undoubtedly a matter of close attention for the whole family. Babies who want to be born before reaching full term are considered premature infants. Premature infants have weaker bodies and are more prone to illness during their growth process due to insufficient natural resistance. Some babies still want to stay in their mother's womb after full-term, and what should be done if the fetal head floats high at 41 weeks?
Forty one weeks of pregnancy is already sufficient for the baby to grow and be born healthy. This is due to the baby's fetal head being high and there is no intention of giving birth, and some induction of labor is needed. Natural induction of labor and medication can be used. Natural induction of labor can be performed with the accompaniment of family members, such as climbing stairs or taking a walk, to stimulate uterine contractions. Medication can be chosen to administer an induction needle or directly induce labor. It is best to stay in the hospital in advance for easy observation at any time.
Postpartum mothers have weaker bodies, what are the things to pay attention to?
1. Maintenance of wounds. Mothers who give birth naturally will have side incisions in the vagina, while those who undergo cesarean section will have incisions in the abdomen. Both types of wounds need to be carefully cared for to avoid infection, inflammation, and sequelae.
2. Postpartum diet. In the week just after giving birth, the diet should mainly consist of liquid and semi liquid foods. Firstly, it can help mothers secrete milk better. Secondly, mothers often experience constipation after childbirth because their gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered. Liquid and semi liquid foods can be better digested and absorbed.
