Would it be awkward for a male midwife to deliver the baby?

Hello, I am Yuanbao Mommy. I am very happy to answer your questions. I hope my answers can help you!

Pregnancy and childbirth are important life experiences for women. I believe many mothers will know that it will be very painful during childbirth. However, in addition to the pain, some people will tell you When giving birth, you have to face a lot of embarrassing things.

I don’t think pregnant mothers will feel embarrassed when they meet a male midwife during childbirth. The doctor’s mission is to treat illnesses, save lives, and heal the wounded. In front of doctors, we are just a patient. Doctors face tens of thousands of patients every day, and they don’t have a single distracting thought in their hearts.

At first, Yuanbao’s mother had a caesarean section when she gave birth to Yuanbao, and she also met a male doctor. However, she was very nervous during the delivery, and I heard from other doctors that everyone called this male doctor the director. , I believe his medical skills are also very good and he is very experienced.

In fact, it was thanks to this male doctor that during the delivery, because the fetus had not completely moved downward, the male doctor was very strong and pressed my abdomen hard to push the baby downward. After moving, Yuan Bao was successfully delivered, which shows that male doctors also have great advantages.

The anesthesiologist also met a male doctor

While talking here, it suddenly occurred to me that the anesthetist at the time was also a male doctor. Many women who had caesarean sections gave birth to children. After the anesthesia wore off, the incisions It will be very painful, and you will have to experience the pain of several hours of overpowering anesthesia. After my surgery, due to the precision of the anesthetic dose and technique, I didn’t feel much pain at all, and the caesarean section was completed smoothly.

If it is embarrassing to meet a male doctor, it is better for us to relax our mentality and actively cooperate with the doctor, which will be more conducive to the birth of the baby.

The same is true for natural childbirth. Nowadays, more and more male doctors have outstanding achievements in obstetrics and gynecology, and the medical achievements of many male doctors far exceed that of female doctors, and the power of male doctors is also It is very big and has great advantages compared to female doctors.

As the name suggests, midwives make all preparations for the mother after entering the delivery room, and tell the mother how to give birth. During the whole process, she helps the mother get water and food, and assists the obstetrician to ensure smooth delivery. The process of allowing a woman to give birth.

Moreover, after the mother gave birth to the baby, she was asked about her physical condition and the subsequent physical recovery process.

An experienced midwife, his skills and abilities are not inferior to that of an obstetrician.

1. Skin preparation

Before giving birth, regardless of whether it is a caesarean section or vaginal delivery, the mother must prepare the skin, which means removing the hair under the pubic area and armpits to avoid losing weight during the delivery process. It can cause bacterial infection and affect the fetus, and it also facilitates the doctor's field of vision during surgery, which is more conducive to production.

2. Internal examination

For mothers who give birth naturally, they need to undergo multiple internal examinations before delivery. The internal examination is to understand how many fingers the mother’s cervix is ??open and how far the fetus is. Many pregnant mothers report some pain and embarrassment due to the head position, softness of the birth canal, etc.

3. Urinary and fecal incontinence

During the delivery process, the fetus moves toward the vaginal opening through the birth canal, which will press on the bladder and anus, and the doctor will also tell the mother to Using force like pulling on a baby can easily cause incontinence. However, this method of force is correct. Doctors have also encountered cases of maternal incontinence, so it is very common.

In fact, when the mother is giving birth, it is best to calm down. As long as she relaxes and actively cooperates with the doctor, the baby will be delivered smoothly. When we see the baby being born, everything will The hard work and dedication will be worth it!

Wish every pregnant mother a good pregnancy!

I hope my answer can be helpful to you. If you have any other questions, you can also send a private message to Yuanbao Mommy!

There are many embarrassing things about giving birth. I have also seen many netizens complaining about the embarrassing experience of giving birth. Male doctors delivered babies, male doctors performed internal examinations, and male midwives... Most pregnant mothers said that when they think about it, It was embarrassing, but what I cared about most at the scene was when the baby could come to his parents. As for whether the doctor is a male or a female, it may not be that important.

In the past, I answered questions from the perspective of a mother. Today, I will answer this question from the perspective of a medical worker.

When I was working in the delivery room, there were many male colleagues and doctors around me, but there were really very few male midwives. During my internship in several hospitals, some hospitals only had a few male midwives. .

Because male midwives have to judge the pregnant woman’s uterine contractions, cervix opening, etc., this will cause many women to not understand, and even refuse to cooperate, requiring female midwives to assist. He said that he was once very disappointed. Medicine is supposed to treat diseases and save people, but why is it so gender-discriminatory? Now he is a senior midwifery teacher, and some expectant parents will ask him to midwife.

Of course, it will definitely be embarrassing for a male midwife to deliver a baby, but don’t think too much about it. After all, nothing is more important than the safe birth of your child!

The incident of a doctor in Shunde, Guangdong, delivering his own baby has aroused heated discussion. Search for the story of midwifery. Don’t think that midwifery is a female monopoly. It turns out that there have been constant controversies about male midwives in China. “There are no women in gynecology and obstetrics.” Are you elite? Do you have to have a male midwife?”

If a male midwife delivers a child, then the incident that happened to Meng Fei, the host of “If You Are the One”, Embarrassment may also be at a loss, especially for Alexander.

Last year, Meng Fei posted a photo on Weibo of traveling on a high-speed train and wrote, "On a high-speed train for a business trip, I took a producer who was 37 weeks pregnant and told her not to come. Fei Come. Last night, the director of maternal and child care told me that you should bring a small folder for holding documents and a lighter with you, and I will send you a set of pictures with text. If anything happens, just follow the pictures. ”

What do you mean? So that's what happened. A female producer and Meng Fei took the high-speed train on a business trip. The female producer told Meng Fei that the dean of women and children called her last night and told her that she was about to give birth and told her to be prepared just in case. Meng Fei had told her before that she shouldn't go on a business trip with her soon to be born, but she just didn't listen.

While on the high-speed train, the producer began to be a little afraid of giving birth, and even sent pictures of the delivery to Meng Fei. If there was any emergency, just follow the pictures. This producer is very dedicated, but it makes us feel so sorry for Grandpa Meng, who has been able to write a book "Let the Things Happen" after going through ups and downs. Can you stop sweating? Maybe, my wife has never been so sudden, so anxious, and so psychologically troubled when she was about to give birth to a daughter.

Faced with Grandpa Meng who was helpless and forced to bear the burden, netizens couldn't help but joke, "Can Grandpa Meng not only be a month-old man, but also be responsible for delivering babies?"

Who gives birth to children? Things are indeed not simple! It was said that it was born. The delivery process is even more critical and should be done with caution.

There is nothing embarrassing about male midwives delivering babies. Why is your woman so pregnant? Why don't you still do it as a man? There are also female doctors and nurses in the men's department, so there is no embarrassment, it's normal.

I understand why celebrities like to go abroad to have children. I would rather have a foreign man deliver the baby than a domestic male doctor. Everyone has the right to privacy.

In fact, during childbirth, it is normal for the doctor who delivers the baby to be a man. And did you know? Male doctors are much better at delivering babies than female doctors. Among the 100 delivery doctors in the United States, at least 94 are It's male.

By saying this, everyone understands how good male doctors are! Many times, due to their own psychological pressure and the influence of special Chinese concepts, mothers will feel embarrassed before giving birth. After all, anything can happen in the delivery room. This If there is someone of the opposite sex looking at me at that time, I will feel awkward no matter how I think about it. Moreover, when giving birth, the mother is in a very embarrassed state. Women always want others to see their beautiful side.

In fact, this kind of mentality is completely unnecessary, because during childbirth, you will only feel severe pain and have no time to think about other things. And doctors are responsible for their own words and deeds, so they will not do anything they shouldn't do to pregnant women. I remember when I gave birth, the anesthetist and delivery doctor were both men. It was very embarrassing at first, but when the cervix opened, all I could think about was why the baby didn't come out yet. I don’t even think about why the doctor is a man and why the anesthesiologist is also a man. And male doctors are indeed better than female doctors! So do pregnant mothers know what are the benefits of male doctors delivering babies?

1. They are calmer and calmer than female doctors. Men are naturally bolder and more careful than women, so when things go wrong, Not too panicked. And because there are few men in obstetrics and gynecology in China, every male doctor will cherish the opportunity to work, so that he will be more serious and responsible.

2. Stronger professional quality

Because there are few male doctors, those who can actually stand on the operating table are definitely the best in the industry, and the status of male obstetrics and gynecology doctors is Very high, so they will be more professional!

3. Strong mental endurance

During childbirth, many mothers will beat and scold the doctor because of severe pain. Compared with women, It is said that men have stronger psychological endurance!

4. Men know more about "cherishing flowers"

Everyone should understand that opposite sexes attract, so in the delivery room, men Doctors will feel more pity for the mother who is giving birth and try their best to help the mother give birth.

/p>

At that time, you asked the patient if he was embarrassed! Why do patients often realize there is a man in the delivery room only after they have stripped naked and entered the delivery room? Many patients feel that their lives are in the hands of doctors, and they feel very angry but dare not speak out. Those who boldly raised the issue were either deceived by doctors using anti-scientific and disrespectful language that did not distinguish between men and women, or they were told that there were no female doctors and refused to accept the call. What's even more shameless is that the hospital actually used this situation as a basis to say that most patients can already accept male doctors. The hospital cannot tell the patients and their families early that male doctors will be used for those positions in the delivery room. How will it be done specifically? Do the patients or their families mind? If they do, the hospital will arrange female medical staff for all patients? The only place where it's legal for a man to look at a naked woman is in a hospital! If you don't want to, just call yourself feudal! If your husband doesn’t want to, just call him selfish! And all kinds of fights!

Pregnant women are almost naked when giving birth. However, at this time, the pregnant woman is a patient. She is also a patient with multiple lives and may be in danger at any time. The male midwife can save the pregnant woman and her baby. For a person who has the life of a child in his belly, facing such a rigorous matter before him, as long as he is not a male midwife who has just taken up the job as an intern, I believe that his eyes and heart are all about how to help pregnant women give birth smoothly, not because of the organ. Different and embarrassed.

Under normal circumstances, pregnant women usually enter the delivery room only when they have signs of labor and are about to give birth. The opening of the cervix and signs that the baby wants to come out will make pregnant women feel anxious and anxious. Fear and pain, and when you and your baby's lives may be threatened at any time, when facing a male midwife, please believe that the mother's attention is mainly focused on herself and her baby, and she has no extra time or mood to feel embarrassed. of.

Midwives, as the name suggests, mean to help pregnant women give birth, including delivery and postpartum care for mothers and newborns. They not only need to master the basic knowledge of nurses and maternal postpartum care skills, but also serve as assistants to midwives at any time. , cooperate with the work of the midwife, such as helping the midwife deliver tools and medicines needed by the mother, etc. Although these are small things, when the mother gives birth and something as important as life, sometimes what she strives for is If time slows down for one minute, it means a human life. A midwife with many years of experience may be as capable as a midwife.

It is mentioned above that midwives are people who help pregnant women give birth, but to be more specific, most people still don’t know what kind of work midwives do when a pregnant woman gives birth. After we understand, we will know what role midwives play in the delivery process of pregnant women.

What midwives do when pregnant women give birth:

1. Help the pregnant woman get on the delivery bed and monitor the fetal heart rate. When a pregnant woman shows signs of giving birth and rushes to the hospital. On the way to the delivery room of the hospital, doctors and nurses see them and come with their family members to help the pregnant woman to the delivery room. Nine out of ten of them are midwives. Enter the delivery room and get on the delivery bed. The delivery bed is a bit high, and the mother is about to give birth and she does not dare to make large movements. The midwife will help the mother get on the delivery bed, and then put her legs on the delivery bed. The mother lifts up her top, takes off her pants, puts her legs on the delivery bed pedal, then ties the fetal heart rate monitor belt to her body to monitor changes in the fetal heart rate, and waits for the doctor who arrives to help diagnose and deliver the baby.

2. Comfort and encourage pregnant women or give them food and water. No matter how many times they have given birth, most pregnant women are full of uneasiness, tension and fear when giving birth. However, these emotions are not only unhelpful to the mother, but even make the delivery more difficult. If a midwife is speaking at this time, Provide psychological comfort and encouragement to the mother, and teach her the correct breathing method. If the mother listens to these words, she will not be so nervous, and the pain caused by uterine contractions and childbirth will not be so painful. After all, pain is often caused by excessive tension in the human heart. When the pain is relieved, the mother can better cooperate with the labor and delivery process. When the mother enters the second stage of labor and feels weak or thirsty, she needs to eat some food to replenish her strength. , if there is food and water in the hospital, the midwives will usually bring it to the mother to satisfy her hunger.

3. When appropriate, act as an assistant to the midwife, including some first aid work. In a delivery, if there are 3-6 midwives, we will see that the midwife is responsible for delivering the baby. There are two midwives holding the mother on both sides of the delivery bed to prevent her from moving, including putting her legs down the pedals. , or when the mother is crying in pain, comfort and encourage the mother appropriately. Some of the other midwives go to get the medicine and help the mother with infusion, some put the fetal heart rate monitoring belt on the mother, and some hand tools to the delivery doctor, etc. Especially when you encounter difficult labor or need a cesarean section, a midwife is always on hand.

4. Record the birth time, weight, bathing, vaccination and Apgar score of the newborn. After the mother gave birth to her baby, the midwife picked up the baby, cut the umbilical cord, and slapped the baby's butt. When she heard the baby's first cry, she handed it to the midwife next to her because the newborn baby was covered in mucus and blood. Therefore, the midwife will first wipe the baby's body and weight, and then take the baby to take a bath. After the bath, they will also score the baby's breathing, muscle tone, heart rate, laryngeal reflex and skin color, and observe whether the newborn has any symptoms. Asphyxiation phenomenon, and then take the baby to get vaccinated. If the mother gives birth smoothly and there are no abnormalities, the mother will have been transferred to the general ward at this time, and the midwife will bring the vaccinated baby over to the mother to hold or breastfeed, so that the mother can The first postpartum intimate contact with the newborn.

5. Assist the delivery doctor to press the fundus of the uterus and provide postpartum care.

After the mother gives birth to her baby, the placenta may not be delivered at the same time. The doctor needs to press the mother's abdomen. This action caused by the doctor will cause the mother to feel very painful. It may even feel more painful than when giving birth. The abdomen hurts. The mother's upper body and legs will subconsciously curl up, so while the doctor is helping the mother to press the fundus of the uterus, the midwife needs to hold the mother's upper body to prevent it from moving. After the placenta and lochia are delivered and the labor is over, the mother usually needs to be given intravenous drips, such as physiological procedures. After the mother is given saline, glucose, etc., the drip is prepared, and the mother and her family help the mother to the general ward. The midwife or doctor will check on the mother from time to time to see if there are any abnormalities or change the dressing until the mother is discharged.

According to WHO statistics, more than 300,000 pregnant women and 2 million newborns born to 24 hours old die every year because they do not receive due delivery care and postpartum care. From the above 5 points, we can understand that midwives can increase the chance of normal delivery, reduce neonatal asphyxia and maternal postpartum hemorrhage during delivery, etc. It can be said that they can greatly reduce neonatal and maternal mortality. From the special establishment of "International Midwives" "Day", it can be seen that the importance of midwives is recognized internationally; as for whether the midwife is male or female, it is really not that important. In other words, sometimes male midwives are more effective than female midwives, especially when encountering larger people. For pregnant women who are overweight, have a long delivery process, or undergo cesarean section, the advantage of male midwives is that they are stronger and have better physical strength.

Let us cheer for the first pair of hands to welcome new life---midwives!

Dear mothers-to-be, would you feel embarrassed if there was a male midwife next to you when you were giving birth? I recently watched a video of a male midwife delivering a baby, and I really felt naked and embarrassed! I am already nervous, so is it really appropriate to let a male midwife touch me? Can I still concentrate on production? Moreover, if your husband is present and other men are present, and he keeps staring at your wife, is this really okay? ! !

However, after searching on the Internet, male midwives have more advantages in strength and physical fitness except in critical situations such as difficult labor. When using forceps or suction devices, they can control the force properly and are naturally calm and calm in situations. Attitude is also very important. “Compared with us women, male midwives can give mothers a greater sense of security, because family members cannot come in the delivery room. Male midwives have unique advantages for men in terms of physical strength and concern for women. "balabala...

Considering the above advantages, I still can't do it! Am I too conservative? Let me share your opinions with you moms.

The cow gave birth, but it was not smooth, because only one leg of the baby came out first, and the cow screamed in pain. The "midwife" came on stage, and he was a man. His task was to help pull out the baby cow. After much effort, the man finally gave the baby out. The cow was very grateful but could not communicate with people in words. She just cast a "grateful look" at the male "midwife".
