Giving birth to a child can be an amazing experience. We all know that pregnancy can help empower women and be really difficult and painful at the same time. However, there is something about childbirth that does not come out of the delivery room at a hospital
Below are 6 unbelievably gross things that happen when you give childbirth:
There’s a good chance you’ll poop while giving birth.
Yes, you read that correctly. All of your efforts to bring your child out of your womb may result in the release of other things as well. Having to pee in public is a woman’s worst nightmare. However, it appears that this is a typical practice in the delivery room.
Then again, during labor, you might not even be concerned about this since you have much bigger things to worry about.
First your baby will be welcomed, then the placenta
That’s right, delivering a baby is only half of what a woman must expel from her body to complete the delivery process. Your doctor may have told you that the placenta is the organ that connects you to your kid. This unappealing organ must also be removed from your womb.
The doctor or nurse may instruct you to push again to deliver the placenta just when you think you’ve finished delivering your baby. Even after labor, you will most likely feel minor contractions. Your doctor may prescribe medicine to keep the contractions going or massage your lower abdomen to help the placenta come out. If the placenta isn’t completely removed from the uterus, it can cause severe blood loss and be life-threatening in some cases.
Getting Rid Of The Mucus Plug
Make sure you have a puke bag on hand before moving on to the next point. During the pregnancy, this obnoxious discharge plays an exceedingly important role. Mucus forms a barrier called the Mucus plug, which protects your infant from pathogens that would otherwise enter through your cervix.
Your cervix dilates as you go into labor, allowing the thick glob of Mucus to exit your body. This can be a revolting sight to see. Weeks, days, or even hours before delivery, the Mucus plug might break out in fragments and fall out.
Episiotomy
Giving birth to a child is not a pleasant experience. Long after your kid is born, it can be uncomfortable and agonizing. In order for the baby to come out during childbirth, the doctor may need to manually increase the size of the opening. If your baby needs to be born fast, your doctor may make an incision in the perineum to help speed up the delivery process. An episiotomy is also performed to avoid any natural tears that might occur during childbirth. Healing from an episiotomy can be uncomfortable, but know that with proper care and rest, you will recover.
The Infant
Now, before you close this page in rage, give us a chance to explain ourselves. At the time of delivery, your baby will not appear as it should. This is due to the fact that they have been totally soaked by all of your bodily fluids. Furthermore, because their skull changes shape as they go ᴅᴏᴡɴ the birth canal, their head may resemble a cone. You should not be concerned; your baby will eventually improve in appearance.
Uncontainable Farts
You will be unable to feel or control the bottom part of your body after receiving an epidural. This implies there’s a good chance you’ll fart in the nurse’s face as she’s delivering your baby!
To be honest, with your body medicated and in excruciating pain, there’s no way you’ll be concerned about anything other than when it’ll all be over.
