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 time pregnancy easy.
Embryos and placentas grow during pregnancy
The embryo and placenta grow together during the pregnancy. The embryo starts to form in the early stages. At six weeks, it is around two inches long. Its primitive organs are beginning to form, such as the heart. It is also developing the nervous system, and spinal cord. The placenta will then cover the baby at the end of the embryonic stage. The placenta will then become a protective sac called the amniotic sac.
Birthing a baby in a maternity ward
It is unlikely you have ever had to give birth in a hospital. A maternity ward is a wonderful place to give birth if you are looking for a homey, comfortable environment. Hospitals have private rooms known as birthing Suites. Here you can give birth in your own privacy while still feeling comfortable. Many maternity wards provide family-centered care, including rooming in. This allows parents and their child to be together during the birth.
Birthing a baby in a well-woman clinic
First, you should know that your doctor might not be an OB/GYN. This is not necessarily a problem. A midwife or physician who specializes is also able to assist. The doctor may also work with other specialists. While the midwife may not always be available for every prenatal appointment. However, they can coordinate care to ensure that both mother and baby are well taken care of.
After giving birth, you need to go to the hospital.
If you're planning on giving birth at home, you'll want to know how to get to the hospital after giving birth. A hospital stay can last up to 24 hours. This is enough time for staff to monitor your delivery and the baby, and for you to complete paperwork and other procedures. Your stay could be extended if complications occur during labor. Here's what you can expect.
After the birth, care for your baby
Baby needs extra care after birth. The baby's skin can become swollen or covered with a yellow crust. You should wipe it off with a clean cloth or cotton ball to prevent it from sticking to the baby's diaper. You will notice that the legs and feet are turned in, and that the toes are overlapping. Redness around cords may indicate infection. You should immediately take your baby to the hospital or health center if you suspect that there is an infection.
Get to know your baby
A mother who gives birth to a baby should first learn about their sleep patterns. For newborns, the sleep cycle is shorter and more frequent than for adults. Newborns typically sleep between 14-20 hours per day. Newborns get up every two to three hours to nurse or feed. It will be easier to bond with your child if you have a routine. It is a good idea to have a routine and sleep in the same bedroom as you.
