Here we will explain to you each of the stages of the childbearing. Since to be informed will help you to be calmer and to prepared to confront every instance of this only and unrepeatable moment, which is the childbearing and birth of your son.

1) The dilation period:

Dilation is very related to the frequency and the intensity of the contractions that you sit.
The contractions of the womb in his top part push to the fetus, which begins his descent.
Several subphases can differ in the whole childbearing process:

Latency phase:

In this phase, the contractions are still quite soft and separated by intervals of between 10 minutes and 15 minutes. In these moments the dilation of the neck of the womb will be of approximately 2 or 3 centimeters approximately. Up to this moment, you can still remain in your house. This phase generally can last 4 hours in moms who are not inexperienced, and between 7 and 8 hours in inexperienced moms.

Acceleration phase:

If the contractions recur between 2 and 3 times every 10 minutes, they last approximately 1 minute, and they are supported in this frequency for some 2 hours, it is very probable that the childbearing work has broken loose, and that the dilation is 3 or 4 centimeters. Then it is necessary to prepare to go out to the hospital.

In this stage, the doctor will advise you, since the contractions will be more painful, to walk, to breathe deeply, to take a shower or to take an immersion bath, to relax, and that the contractions should not hurt so much.

Sometimes it is possible to break bag, in this case, it is very important that are fixed at what time it happened, to inform him your doctor, since the baby will have to be born before 48 hours. The bag breakage is painless, sometimes it can go unnoticed, if it is not an entire rupture. If you notice it, a dressing to be placed and the color of the liquid to be fixed is usually useful to inform him your doctor.

Phase of maximum speed:

In this period, you will dilate at big speed, up to coming to 10 centimeters, which it is what the baby needs to be able to happen for the childbearing channel. The amniotic membrane can break in any moment. Between 3 and 4 contractions every 10 minutes, the dilation will be around 6 or 7 centimeters. The moment of the expulsion approaches. The respiration must turn flashing signal.

If you need it or your doctor advises it to you, they will be able to put the anesthesia to you peridural, that will leave you without sensibility of the waist down. Theoretically the dilation period should not extend any more than 7 or 8 hours. If you are inexperienced, you be able to find it hard to come more to the finished dilation in this dear time.

2) Period expulsivo:

The last part of the period of dilation, it is the one that is known as a period expulsivo of the childbearing. A contraction every 2 minutes indicates the arrival of the period expulsivo. It is important in this stage to increase the intermittent respirations and the rest periods. If it is necessary, it is possible to stroll. Another possibility is to have a short rest on the left side, resting, with intermittent respirations. While, your couple or be wanted that he accompanies you, can do massages and soft frictions to you in the back. This is the moment in which the baby covers the childbearing channel. The baby thinks that the childbearing channel has become closer. It supports his head on the pelvis of the mom and presses on the same one. It pushes the coccyx and manages to extract the head. The pelvis is the biggest escoyo that the baby must avoid, accommodating his head according to the diameter of major gap, the oblique one, which has generally 11 centimeters.

3) Evacuating period:

The more and more intense contractions produce the need to expel. As if you had an irresistible need to go to the bath. The head of your baby begins to show in the vulva. The respirations become intermittent in accordance with the need that demands the spasm. It is necessary to take air as the nose, and to bid approximately not more than 5 seconds. It is important to relax with soft intermittent respirations centred on the exhalation, and to wait for the following one I bid. This period can last between 5 minutes and half an hour, and it is the most sublime of the whole process, when the baby stops going out finally.

If the doctor is partial to the episiotom�a (court between the year and the vulva, which target is to avoid the tear), will practise it before the baby stop putting the head out. There are doctors who prefer to support the perineum and not do the cut.

4) Illumination:

Between 15 minutes and half an hour after the birth of your baby, salt the afterbirth with the rest of the umbilical cord. The advantage: this does not hurt already. Once your baby was born, there is cut the umbilical cord (then the obstetra will do a cut nearer to the bellybutton of the baby). It will receive his first bath and your first caresses, and those of the dad, if it was present during the childbearing. The best moment to cut the drawstring is spent a minute and not at once, since blood is still happening to the baby with his nutrients, so that to cut it earlier can provoke an anemia. Lately one makes use of this blood to freeze it and to generate a proper bank of "cells mother", that although nowadays they have utility small, believes that in the future the investigations will do possible autotransplant them when some organ fails. This is distant from being very much within reach of the common one of the people for the question of the costs. The illumination is, with everything, the moment where it begins the pleasure. There comes the relaxation and the possibility of throwing the first looks with the baby.
