Preparation for childbirth

Preparation for childbirth helps pregnant women to approach the culminating moment of pregnancy consciously. That is, the expectant mother to the end of the period of bearing a child simply must have a clear idea of what symptoms say about the approach of birth, how they proceed, how to behave properly, how to breathe during labor and how to relieve pain.

Preparation for childbirth implies that a woman needs to know what is needed in a medical institution and even what questions should be asked by doctors and what to pay their attention in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Causes, signs and treatment of false labor during pregnancy

There is nothing scary in this process, it is, so to speak, preparation before the real contractions and birth.

Am I ready to give birth?

1-2 days before the onset of labor, so-called false contractions appear. At this time, the cervix opens, and the mucous plug covering the cervix may come off. But these contractions are not strong, irregular, and short-lived.

Diagnostic value of pH-metry of amniotic fluid and fetal head tissue

Much attention is paid to the study of amniotic fluid to assess the condition of the fetus. Amniotic fluid can be considered as the largest part of the extracellular fluid of the fetus, since its osmotic parameters, electrolyte and biochemical composition are identical to fetal plasma.

Oxygen test in pregnancy and childbirth

For 10 minutes, the fetal heartbeat is counted or recorded during pauses and during contractions at 2-minute intervals. Then, for 15 minutes, continuous inhalation of 100% oxygen concentration is performed using a sealed mask.

The value of comprehensive fetal assessment in labor

In high-risk women giving birth, it is necessary to perform a comprehensive assessment of the condition of the fetus using cardiotocography, amnioscopy, determination of the nature of labor using external and internal hysterography, determination of the acid-base balance of the fetus and the woman in labor, and determination of the pH of the amniotic fluid.

Fetal acid-base status

Fetal respiration is carried out by gas exchange through the uteroplacental system by means of diffusion. Oxygen is absorbed from the mother's blood and metabolic products are released into it.

Blood flow in the umbilical artery during labor

Modern research shows that cardiotocography does not have significant advantages over conventional auscultation of the fetus with an obstetric stethoscope.

Fetal vibroacoustic stimulation test

In a normal pregnancy, the test is always associated with the appearance of fetal movements that the mother feels. The fetal response to stimulation is more active the longer the pregnancy.

Amnioscopy and amniocentesis

To examine the condition of the amniotic fluid, amnioscopy is used, which was described by Saling in 1962. Amnioscopy is a method for detecting meconium in the amniotic fluid by visually examining the lower pole of the amniotic sac.

Direct fetal electrocardiography

It is recommended to use the BMT 9141 fetal monitor in conjunction with a recording and recording device. Screw electrodes are used as electrodes.
