Women's obstetrics and gynecology in Atlanta discuss childbirth

Picture
Women's obstetrics and gynecology state that every delivery is as unique and individual as each mother and infant. Giving birth is a life-changing event that will leave an impression on the mother for the rest of her life.
 
Last week, we elaborated on the early phases of the labor and delivery process. Today, let's talk about the birth itself and delivery of the placenta.
 
  • The birth
Women's obstetrics and gynecology say that during the birth, as the baby’s head emerges, there is a great relief from pressure, although the mother will probably still feel some discomfort.
The nurse or doctor will ask the mother to stop pushing momentarily while the baby’s mouth and nose are suctioned to clear out amniotic fluid and mucus. It’s important to do this before the baby starts to breathe and cry.
 
Usually, the doctor will rotate the baby’s head a quarter of a turn to be in alignment with the baby’s body, which is still inside of the mother. Then she will be asked to begin pushing again to deliver the shoulders.
 
The top shoulder comes first and then the lower shoulder.
Then, with one last push, the baby is out!
 
  • Delivering the placenta
Women's obstetrics and gynecology say that the placenta and the amniotic sac that supported and protected the baby for nine months are still in the uterus after the delivery. These need to be delivered, and this can happen spontaneously or it may take as long as half an hour. The midwife or doctor may rub your abdomen below the belly button to help tighten the uterus and loosen the placenta.
 
It’s not impossible to prepare yourself for childbirth, but it’s a famously unpredictable process. Remember that your goal is to have a healthy baby and a healthy, positive experience. We focus on providing you with the best for safe delivery. Call us today! Book a consultation with your top Alpharetta and Atlanta OBGYN for your obstetrics and gynecology care.
