What are the ways to prevent shoulder dystocia?

After giving birth, expectant mothers will definitely worry about having a dystocia. It can be seen that the prevention of shoulder dystocia is also very important. This requires expectant mothers to do prenatal diagnosis on time, to find problems in time, and to correct them in time. Dystocia is very dangerous, so you must pay attention to it. Dystocia can be avoided through prevention. This requires expectant mothers to do the following:

1. The most effective method is to go to a regular hospital for prenatal examination according to regulations, so that doctors and expectant mothers can have a comprehensive understanding of the pregnancy process before delivery. If the fetus is found to be in an abnormal position during the prenatal examination, an external version will be performed to change the breech position or transverse position to the head position.

2. Provide nutritional prenatal education: balanced and reasonable nutrition, control fetal weight within the normal range, reduce the occurrence of macrosomia, and reduce the chance of dystocia.

3. Treat pregnancy complications in a timely manner during pregnancy, and detect and treat pregnancy-related heart disease, gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and reproductive tract infections during pregnancy as early as possible to improve the success rate of normal delivery.

4. Expectant mothers should exercise moderately, maintain an optimistic attitude, and actively cooperate with the delivery process, which can greatly increase the rate of natural delivery and effectively avoid dystocia.

5. Choose a hospital with good delivery room conditions that can provide doula delivery, painless delivery and one-on-one delivery companionship, so that the delivery process is no longer painful for the mother and the natural delivery rate is increased.

Dystocia is foreseeable and preventable. Some dystocia can be transformed into normal delivery. Solving dystocia requires joint efforts of pregnant women, their families and obstetric medical staff. We hope that pregnant women can successfully complete the delivery process through prenatal examinations, proper nutrition during pregnancy, intervention during pregnancy and painless delivery technology, reduce the dystocia rate, reduce the cesarean section rate, and reduce maternal and infant complications!
