It is common to feel overwhelmed and in pain when you first become a mom. But the moments with your baby are priceless. This article will explain the stages of pregnancy, the development of your embryo and placenta, the best ways to get to the hospital and what to do after you give birth. These tips will make your first baby as easy as possible.
During pregnancy, embryo and placenta both grow
During pregnancy, the embryo and placenta are joined together. The embryo begins forming during the early stages of pregnancy. It is roughly two inches long after six weeks. Its primitive organs begin to form, including the heart. It is also developing the nervous system, and spinal cord. The baby will be covered by the placenta at the end the embryonic period. The amniotic capsule, which is a protective pouch made of the placenta, will be created.
In a maternity unit, you can birth a baby.
If you've never given birth in a hospital, it's probably not on your bucket list. However, if you want a comfortable, home-like environment, a maternity ward can be a great place to give birth. Hospitals have private rooms known as birthing Suites. Here you can give birth in your own privacy while still feeling comfortable. Many maternity wards offer family-centered options such as rooming-in where parents and their children can share the birth experience.
The birth of a baby at a clinic for women with disabilities
First of all, be aware that your doctor might not necessarily be an OB/GYN. But this isn't necessarily a problem, either. A doctor who is trained in obstetrics and a midwife may be able to help. You can have the doctor as part of a team with specialists in other fields. The midwife may not be available to every prenatal appointment, but they can coordinate care for the mom and baby.
After giving birth, getting to the hospital
If you're considering giving birth at home, it's important to understand how to get to the hospital once you have given birth. The average hospital stay is 24 hours. This is enough time for staff to monitor your delivery and the baby, and for you to complete paperwork and other procedures. However, your stay may be longer if you've had complications during labor. Here's what you can expect.
After birth, caring for your baby
The baby will need special care once he or she is born. Baby's skin may become swollen, yellowed and crusty. You can wipe it off using a cotton towel or a cotton ball. You will notice that the legs and feet are turned in, and that the toes are overlapping. You may notice redness around your baby's cord. If your baby is experiencing an infection, immediately get him to the hospital.
Get to know your child
The first thing a mother should do after giving birth is to learn her baby's sleeping patterns. Newborns sleep for a shorter time than adults. They average between 14 to 20 hours each night. Newborns rise every two to 3 hours to nurse, and to feed. A routine will help you bond with your child. Try to sleep with your baby in the same room as you do, and be consistent with waking the baby up.
