The birth canal squeezes the baby's head with a bag, and natural delivery is the safest mode of production for mother and baby. However, there are also mothers in the process of delivery, because of the extrusion of the birth canal, resulting in the deformation of the baby's head, or bags. What if the birth canal squeezes the baby's head with a bag?

The birth canal squeezes the baby's head, and the newborn has a bag on its head, which is related to many factors. The main analysis is as follows:

1, scalp edema caused by birth canal extrusion

For a natural baby, it will be squeezed by the birth canal, and some babies may find a lump on their head after birth. Most of them are edema caused by scalp compression. Most 1-2 days will gradually disappear without special treatment.

2, scalp hematoma

It is more common in fetal head suction or forceps delivery, and it can also be seen in the second stage of labor when the fetal head is pressed for a long time, resulting in the rupture of blood vessels under the scalp. For smaller hematomas, no special treatment is usually needed, and they can gradually fade over time. For larger hematoma, head ultrasound or CT examination is needed to rule out intracranial hemorrhage.

3, folliculitis or impetigo

After the baby is born, the scalp will secrete a lot of sebum. If the pores are blocked, it may cause folliculitis. If complicated with infection, it can cause pustules.

A few weeks or days before the fetus is about to give birth, the fetal head will slowly descend into the mother's pelvis, and the skull will gradually adapt to the shape of the mother's pelvis. During childbirth, the bones in the skull will be staggered to adapt to the pelvic birth canal when squeezed by the birth canal, and the baby's head is very soft and easily deformed by the birth canal, so many babies' heads are pointed or squeezed out of a bag.

In fact, there is no need to worry about the situation that the birth canal squeezes the head and affects the baby's intelligence, because the connection between the baby's skulls is relatively loose and the gap is relatively large. If it is deformed by extrusion, or there is a bag, it is only a change in appearance and does not affect the inside. It gradually changes and becomes normal with the passage of time, and does not affect the baby's intelligence.

The baby's skull has strong plasticity. Before the front fontanelle was closed, the skull was still in the process of shaping. The baby's skull deformation will gradually disappear, the head shape will become round, and it will be normal in two or three months. Parents don't need to be particularly worried, but they can help their baby shape a perfect head shape under the guidance of a doctor.

In order to reduce the situation that the baby is squeezed by the birth canal, the head is deformed or there is a bag, mothers should pay attention to controlling the weight during pregnancy, don't let the baby's weight gain too fast, and pay attention to more exercise, which is not only conducive to controlling the weight, but also helps to speed up production.

The birth canal squeezes the baby's head. After the newborn is born, the blood vessels in the scalp are easy to rupture due to the extrusion of the birth canal, so there will be a soft bag on the head. This is a normal phenomenon, and most infants can absorb it themselves. If the scalp lump is large, it will take about two to three weeks to absorb it by itself. Mothers don't have to worry too much and don't need special treatment. Don't rub the soft bag on the baby's head too much to avoid the phenomenon of blood vessel rupture. But always pay attention to the change and development of tumor size, such as whether it gets bigger. If the skin is broken or the soft bag becomes bigger, you need to go to the hospital for examination.

It usually takes 3~5 days for the baby's skull deformation to recover during delivery. If the deformation is serious, sometimes the recovery time will be longer. Pay attention to the baby's diet and sleep, the fetal head is severely squeezed, which is easy to cause intracranial hemorrhage.

The recovery time of head deformation in normal delivery infants depends on the severity of the disease. If it's just edema, it will recover in 2-3 days. If accompanied by hematoma, it may be 1-2 weeks, or it may be 1-3 months, depending on the size of hematoma, which varies from person to person.

Usually, when a baby is born naturally through the birth canal, it is easy to deform because the baby's head and skull are soft. If it is only because of edema, it will recover in 2-3 days after birth, but if it is edema with hematoma, the absorption of hematoma will be slower, so the recovery will be slower, and some will recover in 1-2 weeks.

If the hematoma is large, the recovery time is long, which can reach 1-3 months. At this time, Baoda and Ma Bao should continue to observe the hematoma to see if there is an increasing trend. If there is an increasing trend, you should go to the hospital in time.

In daily life, it is recommended that postpartum women exclusively breastfeed as much as possible, because Ma Bao's breast milk contains a variety of immune factors, which will correspondingly improve the baby's immunity and resist the invasion of diseases.

How long does it take to recover the extrusion deformation of natural delivery head?

1. Generally, the fetal head is a little sharp after normal delivery. Within a few days after the baby is born, most of the head deformation will gradually disappear and the head shape will gradually become round. Generally, the baby's head will gradually return to the standard circle in about 2 to 3 months.

2. However, some babies' skulls will flatten, which depends on individual circumstances. It's only a matter of time before the baby's head recovers, so don't worry too much.

3, the baby's own repair ability is very strong, the vast majority will recover within 2 to 3 months, if the recovery is poor, it will generally recover in about half a year.

Active prevention:

In order to prevent the fetus from being excessively squeezed by the birth canal in the process of natural delivery, it can be adjusted and prevented during pregnancy.

First, actively control fetal weight. If the fetus is over-developed, the biparietal diameter of the fetus will be too large and will be squeezed and deformed during natural delivery. Therefore, we should pay attention to the intake of nutrition during pregnancy, and don't eat too much food with high protein content to prevent the fetal head from being too large.

Secondly, proper exercise can be carried out, which is beneficial to control weight and fetal development. Activities should be carried out in the case of targeting the body to avoid excessive exercise.

The third is that after the fetus is born, the deformed skull should not be deliberately corrected. This is a process of fetal self-recovery.

The birth canal squeezes the baby's head. When giving birth to a baby, it is easy to squeeze because of the narrow birth canal. In this case, the baby will have a subcutaneous hematoma, which can be absorbed in about a month, so don't worry too much. If it is not absorbed within a certain period of time, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by hematoma organization, and it will take several years to absorb it.

How long does it take for the baby to recover from the extrusion of the natural delivery head? Fast recovery takes about 1 week, and slow recovery takes 2-3 weeks.

Because the newborn's head is squeezed in the vagina during delivery, it will form scalp edema or skull hematoma, and the absorption ratio of head edema is fast, returning to normal about 1 week; Hematoma absorption is slow, it takes 2 weeks or even 3 weeks to be completely absorbed, and skull hematoma and edema can be absorbed by themselves without special treatment;

Severe hematoma should be treated with hemostatic drugs and blood drawing. For a naturally born baby, the head will return to a round shape in 2-3 months, and the baby's skull is very plastic, which will change with the closure of the front fontanel at about 1.5 years old.

After the baby is born, pay attention to the sleeping position, right side, left side or lying flat. Different sleeping positions will help the baby recover his head shape. Squeezing the head will not affect the baby's intelligence, but can improve the newborn's coordination and adaptability. Parents should not worry too much.

Does baby's head deformation affect intelligence?

First of all, let's look at the factors that will affect whether the baby's brain is smart.

Whether a baby's brain is smart or not is influenced by the number of nerve cells and the ability of a single synapse to transmit information.

Scientific research has found that every minute, CPIC produces 654.38 million+nerve cells. It is worth noting that nerve cells will divide and multiply repeatedly during the period of Taibao, but these activities will stop after birth. In other words, the number of nerve cells used by children in their lifetime has been decided in the fetal period.

Secondly, there is no scientific evidence to prove that birth canal extrusion will affect the baby's intelligence.

During the fetal period, the connection between the baby's skulls is relatively loose and the gap is relatively large, so the baby's head will be a little deformed due to the extrusion of the birth canal, but the baby's brain development will not be affected by the shape of the skull. And this deformation will recover itself with the continuous growth and development of newborns.

Although birth canal extrusion will have some effects on the baby's brain volume and sulcus, there is no scientific evidence to prove that this change has an impact on the baby's intelligence. Because birth canal extrusion will not increase the number of nerve cells in the baby, and no research shows that this extrusion can improve the performance of baby's "synapses" to transmit information, it is unscientific to say that birth canal extrusion makes children smarter.
