生产前后准备细则

VWang

各位姐妹，一直得到大家无私的帮助，今天在网上看生产前后的准备的文章，感觉这篇文章很有用，就拿来跟大家分享，也算是对大家一直以来热心热情帮助的一点点回报。 希望能帮到那些有需要的JM。不好意思，我直接把英文贴出来了，如果需要翻译成中文，请告诉我，我会抽时间去翻译，或者英语好的姐妹们每人一段的翻译，可能更快更好。

While you can't predict everything that will arise during labor and delivery, a birthing plan, or birth preferences list, can help you think through your many options. Having pre-selected birth preferences to discuss with your health care provider allows you to make thoughtful decisions about many birth-related topics, including the hospital environment, your involvement during labor and birth, medical options, and the immediate care of your newborn.

8 b! }+ z) Y& j& j& O  O# qBefore deciding on your preferences, do some homework to learn about the different options available and about what the health care providers and hospitals in your area offer. For example, if the majority of doctors in the practice you've chosen perform episiotomies as a routine procedure, you may want to choose a different doctor if you wish to avoid an episiotomy. Don't be afraid to ask questions of your doctor or hospital—they want you to have the best experience possible!

7 V2 k) C8 P: b; hReview and select the choices below to create your personal Birth Preference Letter (click here for a printable version). When finished, use this letter to talk about your preferences with your health care provider at your next visit. It's also a good idea to make a list of questions and bring them with you to your doctor visits.

Definitions of terms included in the Birth Preference Letter

Midwife—Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are licensed health care practitioners. They provide primary health care to women, including gynecological exams, preconception care, prenatal care, labor and delivery care, care after birth, newborn care, assistance with family planning decisions, menopausal management, and counseling in health maintenance and disease prevention.
7 m4 L# E* u% r0 ~4 n
Doula—a certified birth assistant, either a nurse or lay woman, who assists a mother with her physical and emotional needs during labor, birth, and sometimes home care after the birth of the baby.

! n4 r2 M8 g8 P6 @! TInduction—the process of initiating or enhancing labor through the use of a drug called Pitocin; may also include artificial rupture of the membranes.

Birthing Ball—a large, plastic, air-filled ball used to promote comfort, decrease pain, and facilitate maternal movement during labor. Rocking while sitting on the ball helps the baby move through the birth canal; leaning over the ball while on hands and knees in the bed helps keep the baby in good position and relieves backache.

Continuous Fetal Monitoring—an electronic recording of the baby's heart rate and the mother's uterine contractions throughout labor and birth. The fetal monitor is attached to the mother either externally with the use of two belts around her belly or internally with two electrodes inserted through the vagina to attach to the baby's head to measure his heart rate and to the uterus to measure the contractions.

Internal Vaginal Exams—an examination done by the nurse, nurse midwife, or physician to assess progress during labor. The examiner inserts two fingers into the vagina to feel the cervix to determine its degree of opening (dilatation, measured from 0 to 10 centimeters) and thinning (effacement, measured from 0 percent to 100 percent). The internal vaginal exam also assesses how far the baby has moved down through the mother's pelvis.
4 f9 q8 T$ j, W; D: m/ k. `: ]7 l) X
Amniotic Membrane—the balloon-like sac that develops around the baby early in pregnancy. It's composed of two layers, the amnion and corion. The sac contains the amniotic fluid, which keeps the baby warm and buoyant throughout the pregnancy.
9 L" k) o+ S8 V& T. \& n9 G3 a
Pitocin—a synthetic drug used to stimulate uterine contractions during labor. Administered by an IV drip into the mother's vein, it is used to start (induce) a labor or stimulate (augment) existing contractions that are not strong enough for the labor to progress.

+ x/ p7 O/ X9 c% h& V7 j0 VEpidural—a regional anesthetic given in active first-stage labor by injection of an anesthetic drug through an indwelling plastic catheter into the area outside the spinal column called the epidural space. An epidural provides pain relief for the contractions of labor and for birth; it also blocks motor function of the mother's legs, so she must remain in bed after it is administered.

Walking Epidural—a term used to describe a very low dose epidural with anesthetic drugs that do not block motor function, so the mother has movement of her legs. Walking is actually not encouraged, but the mother can use more positions during labor and may be able to sit in a rocking chair or use a birthing ball.

Cesarean—the surgical delivery of the baby, when needed for maternal or fetal complications or emergencies, through an abdominal and uterine incision.
% Y8 K, G* U+ o9 f
$ I3 ~- q9 |4 h# L9 @% P: t, BPerineum—the muscles and tissues of the woman's external genitalia located between the clitoris and rectum. This area includes the labia minora (the inner lips), the urethra (the opening from the bladder), and the vagina.

Episiotomy—a surgical incision made at the time of birth to enlarge the vaginal opening to allow for easier delivery of the baby.
: C) W2 ^" R) ^5 d6 b9 L, l8 z9 p
Placenta—the organ that develops in the uterus early in pregnancy to exchange oxygen and nutrients from mother to baby. The placenta implants into the wall of the uterus and is attached to the baby by the umbilical cord.
2 r! J2 E4 N5 h. ]) [
# f/ y* c: x/ F# w9 @9 `Umbilical Cord Blood—the blood in the baby's umbilical cord at the time of birth. It can be "banked" or saved for use in the future by the baby's family or donated to others. The cord blood is rich in stem cells that can be valuable in the treatment of diseases that respond to regeneration of cells (such as leukemia, Alzheimer's, diabetes, etc.). Parents must arrange in advance with a cord blood banking company; the initial cost is about $1,750 with an annual fee to store the cord blood.

0 L: j2 I+ _/ Z; k9 y" `& hLactation Assistant—a consultant used by the hospital to coach nursing moms on the art of breastfeeding. This consultant will show mothers the best positions, ways to get the baby latched on properly, and help solve other nursing issues.
