Until recently, the production of the enema was consideredobligatory procedure before giving birth. The exception was only rapid childbirth, as in the absence of time it would be inappropriate to risk. At present, not all maternity hospitals consider it necessary to use this method. Therefore, this question is still controversial, and the statement that the enema before birth gives its positive result remains unchanged for many maternity homes.
First of all, staging of an enema is important withhygienic point of view, since during intimate attempts the intestines are almost completely cleared, and this can not always be called one of the pleasant moments in the process of giving birth, either for the mother or the midwife. In addition, many women fear of this delicate issue does not allow full push. And this, of course, does not have a very favorable effect on the course of the birth process. Also, the delivered enema before delivery will greatly facilitate the woman's trips to the toilet and after them, since the intestine will remain empty about a day. And if seams were also applied, then this will be just the way.
Promotion of the fetus through the birth canal significantlywill improve, because the devastated rectum will not create additional obstacles for him. If a woman suffered constipation, then the enema before birth is just necessary for her.
Another very important point should be taken into account in theconcerning this issue. If the woman was not given an enema for any reasons, even if all hygiene measures are observed during the delivery process, the risk of infecting the baby with feces still exists.
Of course, if someone can help cope withthe problem of emptying the stomach, then it's good. But many women have no idea how to do an enema before childbirth. In fact, this is not difficult at all. First you need to make a solution. For this simple water and a decoction of chamomile are suitable. The temperature of the liquid should not exceed thirty seven degrees. Then it is necessary to fill it with a rubber vessel designed for such events. It is best to do an enema while standing on all fours or lying on your left side. The volume of injected liquid should be equal to one and a half liters. The tip should be lubricated with vaseline or cream, so that the process of entering it into the anus is smooth. The feeling of gradual filling of the intestine should occur as the fluid enters. At the same time, care should be taken to ensure that air does not enter the intestine. If there is a feeling of discomfort, then you need to relax, pat yourself on the stomach, while making a slow deep breath. After that, you can immediately visit the toilet. If there is any doubt about the complete emptying of the stomach, then the procedure can be repeated after forty minutes, while you need to make sure that all of the liquid that was injected has come out. It is necessary to remember the most important thing: if attempts have begun, an enema is not recommended.
Many are concerned about the question of what procedures are performed before delivery. First of all, if cramps or amniotic fluid have started, you should immediately come to the hospital in any convenient way.
Initially, the woman in attendance enters the waiting room, where the doctorin detail questions about the course of pregnancy, gets acquainted with the exchange card, performs an external examination, measures the temperature. After this, the woman is transferred to the examination room. Here, a more detailed examination is performed: the patient is weighed, pelvic dimensions, abdominal circumference are measured, and the uterine condition is evaluated. Also determine the position of the fetus, listen to his heartbeat. Then check what the swelling of the woman is and measure blood pressure. The results of the examinations are immediately recorded in a special map. At the end of the examination, the woman in labor is sanitized: removing the scalp from the external genitalia, directing her into the shower, and, as mentioned earlier, an enema is made before delivery. Upon completion of sanitary treatment, a sterile shirt and gown are issued to the woman. In case the birth is close, the patient is sent to the prenatal ward. Here it is before the attempts. The last destination is the delivery room, where the child is born.
