Giving birth to a child is childbirth, which is the last link after a woman is pregnant.

supine position

Mode: The parturient lies flat on the bed with her legs open and raised, and adopts this delivery posture.

deliver

Adjust the tilt height of the bedside according to the needs of the parturient.

In the history of obstetrics, supine delivery was not the main position. Although this posture can help the fetus to change the fetal position and facilitate delivery, it can't make full use of gravity and make the vulva of the parturient easily tear.

Advantages: it is convenient for obstetric treatment (such as negative pressure suction) and neonatal treatment, and is suitable for the needs of medical staff.

Disadvantages:

1. When lying on your back, the enlarged uterus will press into the vein, which will reduce the blood flowing back to the heart, which may lead to fetal distress and increase postpartum hemorrhage.

2. supine delivery limits the plasticity of pelvis, narrows the birth canal and increases the chance of dystocia.

3. The gravity of the fetus has lost its original function, which leads to prolonged labor and makes the parturient weak.

Lateral recumbent type

Mode: Lie on your side and curl your back. Mr. Wang Can helped to lift one foot of the parturient.

Although this posture is not affected by gravity, it is a more comfortable posture for lying-in women.

Advantages: It can relax perineum, reduce venous compression, and prevent fetal distress and postpartum hemorrhage that may be caused by supine.

Disadvantages: it is inconvenient for medical staff (midwives) to operate like this.

Kneeling forward

Mode: The lying-in woman puts her hands on the bed or support with her legs apart.

Advantages:

1. This posture can reduce the chance of vaginal tear or perineal incision.

2. It is helpful for the smooth delivery of long-term breech fetus.

Disadvantages:

1. Pregnant women may be tired, so you can put some pillows and cushions under your knees and hands to make yourself comfortable.

2. The knee bears heavy gravity, which may be unbearable for a long time.

Squat

In this way, the parturient can rely on any support, or squat or sit.

erect

Mode: The parturient is upright, and some people can hold hands or handrails.
