Deadline for the period of pregnancy is suitable and you feel something akin to the fight. Feelings can be painful and not very regular and occasional, and you end up still do not understand - it's a false alarm, or it is time to go to the hospital. How to determine that the time has come to collect?

It is time?

The first reason, which is, of course, speaks of the need as soon as possible to go to the maternity hospital - a discharge of water (amniotic fluid). It must be done within an hour, because then it will be difficult because labor begins. Usually after the water breaks, painful regular contractions begin.

If the bubble broke sharply, then time to go to the hospital, but it can not completely break, and crack and leak. Then you need to arm themselves with a towel, carefully watching how quickly follows amniotic fluid. If you see that abundantly wet towel, then it is an occasion to go to the hospital.

Contractions - a contraction of the muscle tissue of the uterus, which is ready to get rid of the fetus, that is, to leave. But be careful - the fight may be false, irregular, and if you go to the hospital too soon, you risk returning home. Contractions that are indeed those for which it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital, regular, painful. They are repeated every 5-10 minutes during the first two hours of birth and for the second hour.

A warm bath for relaxation

Naturally, before you go to the hospital, you can wait at home for several hours, if this is your first child and you have no experience. In order to facilitate a little painful contractions and define more precise time for collection. First, take a warm bath and drink antispasmodic. If after this fight stopped or significantly reduced, is not the time to gather. If they only amplify - to delay any longer.

Another way to relax - breathing exercise. Sit back and breathe calmly, slowly and continuously inhaling and exhaling.

The contractions may be accompanied by pain in the lower back Low back pain: the spine signals . To help them, try to stretch forward while standing with his hands on his chair. If you relax and reduce pain fails, go to the hospital.

Do not forget that all women, there are the individual characteristics of the organism and fight, as, indeed, and the pregnancy itself, everyone can proceed differently. You can not always strictly follow the general rules. If you are feeling very intense contractions, frequent and painful, do not waste time - call your doctor and go to the hospital. If something is troubling you, you do not know how to behave, not painful contractions, but frequent, do not wait until they become unbearably painful. Remember that for the mother and baby is always better to come to the hospital sooner than later.

The third generations - it is usually planned process, when a woman deliberately wants to become a mother and already has considerable experience in this field. Therefore, third pregnancy usually proceeds more quietly, experience tells a woman to be feared and what is not. A condition of the nervous system, and is largely dependent during pregnancy.

How is third pregnancy

During the third pregnancy rarely happen some surprises. As a rule, a woman is ready for anything and quietly carries its state. Moreover, she enjoys this status since gone all previous concerns and fear reigned in the soul of peace. Perhaps that is why during the third pregnancy is much less common toxicosis, both the first and second half.

Pregnancy third problem is that it usually occurs after thirty years, and often even close to forty years. By this time a woman, typically already has a chronic disease or foci of infection as chronic tonsillitis Chronic tonsillitis - inflammation of the tonsils , Pyelonephritis, gastrointestinal disease, cardiovascular and endocrine systems, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Naturally, during pregnancy, many of these diseases will be felt in the form of exacerbations or late toxicosis of pregnancy (gestosis). Therefore, third pregnancy have to be planned with a preliminary examination of mother and father of the child.

Another danger that can lie in wait for the woman during pregnancy, approaching the age of 40 - a malformation of the fetus. But this can be prevented by going to the doctor-genetics.

With age and deteriorating state of the venous system, so during the third pregnancy increases the incidence of varicose veins Varicose veins - the operation is inevitable?   and hemorrhoids. It increases the number of iron-deficiency anemia with a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells. The amount of hemoglobin is possible to stock up in advance in preparation for a planned pregnancy with the help of proper nutrition Proper nutrition - the basic precepts of healthy food   (lean meats, eggs, fish roe).

Pain in the lower back and abdomen during the third pregnancy may be stronger than before due to the stretching of the abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor muscles insolvency. For the same reason, women may occasionally occur incontinence. In order to keep the stomach in the correct position, you need to wear a prenatal bandage.

When third pregnancy also often have low attachment of the placenta - close to the exit from the uterus or even complete coverage of the placenta. It comes from the fact that exhausted the mucous membrane of the uterus. Location of the placenta will be seen on the ultrasound, so with proper monitoring in the antenatal clinic surprises for women and gynecologists should not be: if the birth will not be possible, women hold elective caesarean section.

Finally, the third pregnancy increases the possibility perenashivanie pregnancy, which may threaten the child by lack of oxygen due to the aging of the placenta. Most are born and large children weighing more than 3600 g

Features of third births

Typically, third births occur fast enough, less painful and less afraid of women. In addition, prepared childbirth previous birth canal better disclosed, the pelvic floor muscles stretch better, which is why both the mother and the child is less traumatic.

But there are some pitfalls. Increased risk of bleeding during childbirth due to the fact that the muscles are not stretched so quickly cut and compress the blood vessels, gaping after delivery of the placenta. This is a dangerous complication, but modern hospital could handle him. Another danger - rapid delivery, a woman can give birth to a sudden, on the street, which increases the risk of trauma and the mother and child.

During labor can be broken because of the secondary weakness of labor, which manifests itself in the fact that the first fight there as usual, and even worse, and then reduced and even completely stopped. Since generic process has already begun, in such a situation the child is suffering (because of lack of oxygen and nutrients), so the woman has to carry out induction of labor.

Sometimes, if a woman in the past suffered inflammation of the uterus Inflammation of the uterus: required hospitalization Problems arise with the separation from the walls of the placenta. In this case, a manual removal of the placenta.

Caesarean section is performed at a low attachment or placenta previa in the case where the size of the fetus is larger than the female pelvis.

After the third delivery

After the third delivery of the uterus muscles slowly declining, which may lead to bleeding and inflammation (retained in the uterus selection - lochia - a perfect breeding ground for a variety of infectious agents). In order to better the uterus to shrink, a woman prescribed drugs and physiotherapy.

But with the advent of milk after a third of births to women not be a problem: it comes at once.

The third generations have their own characteristics and complexity, but it is not insurmountable.
