Every future mother, being in a beautifulposition, worries about the health and life of his future baby. The woman initially gives herself an installation to take care of herself, fulfill all the prescriptions of the treating gynecologist and report the pregnancy before the due date. Unfortunately, despite prevention, the right way of life and adherence to recommendations, there are cases when the pregnancy ends before the term. For example, it sometimes happens that deliveries occur at week 34.
Birth of a child up to 37 is considered prematureweeks. After this conditional trait, pregnancy can be considered complete. And the child in most cases is born fully developed and healthy. Children who were born before the 37th week (lower threshold - 28) with a weight of 1000 to 2500 kg, are considered premature. This is the data before 1993. After the All-Russian Health Organization, a new lower level of preterm infants was introduced, which are subject to resuscitation intervention - 500 g. And if such a child survives within a week after birth, then such births are called premature. The weight of the fruit can be extremely low.
Premature delivery at 34 weeks of gestation is notso terrible, as, for example, on the 28th. Usually the child by this time already has a weight of about 2200 grams, its growth reaches 43-45 cm. It is developed and, most likely, after birth will breathe on its own - there will be no need for resuscitation. Also by this time the child takes the position in which he will move along the maternity canal. The mother's organism prepares for the forthcoming birth, training fights appear. But, despite the seemingly satisfactory facts for birth, 34 weeks is not enough time for a full birth.
Births at week 34 may be caused by variousreasons. They largely depend on the state of health of the future mother, external factors, lifestyle, as well as on the genetic changes in the fetus. The main causes of premature birth are as follows:
At this time (34 weeks) the body is pregnantbegins preparing for childbirth. There are "false" or, as they are called, "training" fights. A pregnant woman can feel unpleasant, even painful sensations in the lumbar region, sacrum, and pelvis. And also in the abdomen. If these symptoms do not cause special inconveniences and do not have a constant and growing character, you can not worry much.
If there is aching pain in the abdomen,which does not pass a long time and is not withdrawn by ancillary drugs, or non-permanent contractile movements in the uterus become regular, it is worthwhile to see a doctor. If you do not stop these symptoms, you may experience childbirth for 34 weeks.
Let's say a woman has a threatpremature birth: 34 weeks - short term, so it is clear that the future mother is worried. Do not panic ahead of time. The threat does not necessarily turn into childbirth. At this time, it is quite possible to conduct successful treatment and keep the pregnancy. First of all, the girl needs to provide complete peace and bed rest. And, of course, call an ambulance. For the continuation of pregnancy will follow mandatory hospitalization. Before the arrival of physicians you can drink the simplest soothing - motherwort, valerian. And simple antispasmodic. For example, "No-shpu" ("Drotaverin"). After hospitalization, if there is a possibility of maintaining pregnancy, the doctor will prescribe the necessary drugs. Most often these are medicines to relieve the tone of the uterus, sedatives.
But, if premature delivery at 34-35 weeks is alreadybegan, it is quite possible that they will not be stopped. Especially if amniotic fluid has passed away. Since at this time the child, though not yet matured to the standard parameters, but quite viable. Most often, he does not even need resuscitation. In extreme cases, to prepare the baby's lungs for independent breathing, a hormonal drug will be introduced. Here we are talking about a purely individual approach.
Most often, premature birth on a schedule,close to natural, pass without any special excesses. But the distinctive feature is the reduction of the time of the process itself. Premature births often pass much faster than usual. If there is any serious pathology or an emergency situation, then a caesarean section is performed. Last time for anesthesia epidural or spinal anesthesia is used. Less common and under special indications is general anesthesia. To conduct the natural course of labor, anesthesia or usual painkillers for oral administration are also used. Continuous monitoring of the mother and child is also necessary.
Preterm delivery at week 34 for a childhave fewer consequences than at earlier times. At this stage, the fetus is developed enough to begin to fully live. Most often, a child born on this time has already developed a system of breathing, as well as digestive organs. The problem arises only with a small weight. If he is not critical, then the child is in the hospital with his mother. If there are problems with the weight of the baby can be transferred to the Department of Pathology of newborns. Also, as with any other pronounced deviations from the health and development of crumbs. In general, a premature baby on terms after 34 weeks with complete care and nutrition quickly overtakes the development of full-term children.
For a woman in labor, premature delivery at week 34 is notbear a special danger. They practically do not differ from the usual process on time. With earlier births, the number of discontinuities decreases, both internal and external. The only thing worth paying close attention to, these are the causes of premature birth. Having found out and subsequently eliminated them, similar risks are prevented in the following pregnancies. The second time, it is necessary to pay special attention to precisely the time at which the threat or premature birth occurred the previous time.
Take care of a healthy and completepregnancy is better in advance. After all, it is well known that it is better to prevent any harmful consequences than to reap sad fruits. It is advisable to plan pregnancy in advance. During this, it is necessary to abandon bad habits, heavy loads, psychological experiences. It is necessary to undergo a complete examination of both the organism as a whole and the reproductive system. And this applies not only to the future mother, but also to the father. If there were any chronic diseases or problems of genetic origin in the family, mandatory specialist consultation is necessary. Also, during planning and during pregnancy, contact with infectious patients should be avoided, all physician prescriptions must be observed, and routine examinations should be carried out.
Of course, not every case and situation can beto foresee. But there are a lot of opportunities when deliveries at week 34 can be prevented. Or to do so that they caused minimal damage to the health of the mother and child. For this, it is necessary to protect yourself, not to neglect medical aid and, in general, to be responsive to the health of the unborn child.
