Why is the baby in the water?

We may have heard of water births in some places. This is a new way of delivery, and the process of delivery is generally carried out in water. In fact, this delivery method can really alleviate the pain of pregnant women, so what is the reason for giving birth in water? Is it reliable?

Yu Junde, an expert on humanized delivery, told the reporter that the main advantage of water delivery is that it can alleviate the pain of the parturient. The power of holding water can give the parturient a sense of psychological security, and the inclusive effect of water can protect the parturient's birth canal and pelvic cavity. Of course, this foreign mode of midwifery is a great challenge to the mode of production in China for thousands of years. He told reporters that giving birth in water has satisfied some highly educated and open-minded women's curiosity. They believe that this novel delivery process not only relieves the pain, but also meets the needs of their diversified lives at present. He said that Germans would throw their newborn babies into the water to exercise. Delivery in water is a good exercise for the newborn's physique and respiratory function.

1. Control the water temperature: the water temperature should be kept at 36 to 37 degrees Celsius, which is close to the human body temperature.

2. The water in the delivery pool must be strictly disinfected: before the parturient enters the pool, the intestine should be emptied or enema cleaned, and the delivery pool should be kept clean. During the whole transportation process, water needs to be changed 2-3 times.

3. Avoid soaking in water for a long time: the cervix of pregnant women expands to five centimeters before entering the pool. The baby must leave the swimming pool immediately after birth and stay in the water for no more than one minute.

4. Only experienced midwives can deliver the baby: every pregnant woman should have two midwives to deliver the baby, and midwives should have the experience of observing underwater delivery more than twice.
