Maternal hand force posture, elbow bending, as if in lifting water, do not shrug your shoulders, light flexion of the elbow joint, force to lift the water, then you will feel the power at the anus. Some women use their strength on their shoulders and neck, and their strength does not reach the perineum, which is called not pushing. Patients with prenatal bleeding (placenta praevia). Once you are hospitalized, you don’t bleed, and once you go home, you bleed. This is very common, and when you come to the hospital, you stay in peace and stay for 2 weeks. About 1/3 of the bleeding from placenta praevia comes from the fetus. Don’t sit on a stool that is too short, at least as high as your own knees, don’t sit cross-legged, and don’t move too much; first feel your buttocks with your hands after waking up if there is blood. Change sanitary napkin regularly and use better sanitary napkin, otherwise local infection will easily occur. Collect blood-stained sanitary napkins and show them to the bedside doctor, attending physician and nurse to estimate the amount of bleeding. If the anterior placenta bleeds more than 50 ml at one time or if there are repeated clots, the physician may perform an emergency cesarean section depending on the situation. For those who are at high risk of bleeding, collect blood and prepare it once in 3 days, try to insist on taking medication to quickly correct the anemia by yourself, and have your family members go to the blood donation point and donate blood for mutual help.

Make a good hospital diary, including self-counting fetal movements, recording in detail the type and amount of food eaten, recording the time and amount of exercise, recording the value of blood glucose and blood pressure, and asking the nurse for the measurement results after the nurse has measured them, and writing them down yourself.

Learn to use insulin and measure micro glucose by yourself, learn to keep middle urine (before urinating, wipe the vulva and urethra with wet tissue to prevent leucorrhoea from dripping down and polluting the urine specimen, don’t start half of the urine, but the second half of the urine, with 3-5ml of urine, can be used). Ask the patient to take pictures of various examination reports so that the physician can check them at the bedside (your cell phone) at any time during the room visit. For high-risk patients, sometimes the decision to discharge or to observe outside the hospital will be based on their compliance (recording fetal movements and blood sugar, etc.) and self-management ability.

During the trial of labor, the mother loses more heat, and if you have a cesarean section, you will lose a lot of heat after undressing and disinfecting with alcohol; after the fetus and amniotic fluid are discharged, a lot of heat is taken away; therefore, the mother is very likely to chill and shiver on the operating table (but the patient says she is not cold); therefore, you should wear warm clothes and have heat reserves during labor or before surgery; when you come back from the operating room, you should cover an extra quilt until the mother has a slight sweat on her forehead. When the patient returns from the operating room, she should be covered with an extra quilt until she has a slight sweat on her forehead.

Keep the ward quiet: In the morning, the doctors and nurses will have their shifts on the 4th floor. During the big shift, the doctors are carefully obtaining and thinking about the changes of each patient's condition. Our hospital has at least two big checkups every day (morning shift handover and afternoon shift handover at the end of the day), and the attending physician on duty at night also checks in once before going to bed, paying high attention to the patient's condition. Please write down your questions in advance and ask them during the physician's rounds, or inform each other by checking Dr. Guo Peifen's website.

Pregnant women should not wear slippers to come, easy to slip, feet are also dirty, and quickly dirty the bed sheets. Some people's have foot odor very smelly, love clean maternity, is very disgusting oh. Some families do not respect the work of the security guards. If the security guard is loose, some people say he is not doing his job, saying that the hospital is not formal. If the security guard is strict, before the surgery, 3 or 5 or more family members or friends come to visit and are not allowed to enter the ward, the family has a problem. It is better to follow the security guard's request as much as possible and not to have several family members pouring into the ward at the same time.
