      Difficult childbirth, both for the mother and fetus , all present relatively large hazards. The causes of dystocia are also very complex, including maternal factors and fetal factors. However, in order to avoid dystocia, expectant mothers can do a good job in prevention during pregnancy and not let themselves and their fetus be affected by dystocia, thus endangering the lives of both parties.

      So what should expectant mothers do to prevent dystocia? In fact, the most important thing to prevent dystocia is to do a good prenatal examination. If any abnormal problems are found, they should be dealt with and corrected in time. However, expectant mothers must go to a regular doctor for prenatal check-up, so that they can ensure that they receive guidance from a professional doctor. Usually, about two weeks before the expected date of delivery, the doctor will make an appraisal of the mode of delivery based on the situation of the expectant mother. At this time, the expectant mother should follow the doctor's advice and choose a cesarean section or a smooth delivery. Do not be stubborn and choose which mode of delivery privately. Actively carry out various screenings during pregnancy, especially elderly pregnant women, who need to pay close attention to blood pressure and blood sugar.

      In short, preventing dystocia is not only important, but also requires expectant mothers to take it seriously. Not only should prenatal care be improved as much as possible. And when delivery is approaching, you must stay calm and don't be nervous or overly excited all day, let alone stay at home. You should exercise appropriately to maintain a relaxed and happy mood. In addition, to ensure a smooth delivery, during the delivery process, you must also cooperate with the doctor tacitly and actively, follow the doctor's guidance, use correct force, avoid dystocia to the greatest extent, and ensure the safety of yourself and the fetus.
