Soaking in warm water during childbirth is a scientifically proven hydrotherapy that helps mothers relax and effectively relieve pain without the need for medicine during normal birth.
The mother will be soaked in a specialized bath, ensuring safety in infection prevention, and will be guided and supervised by a housewife and a doctor.
MSc.Dr. Vo Trieu Dat - Head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of FV Hospital said that warm water helps the mother's body relax to the maximum, reduces pain caused by labor, and helps the labor process take place faster.
Normally, a labor session takes an average of 8-10 hours, but with this method, the mother only needs 4-5 hours to be born.This method is suitable for pregnant women who do not want to cause numbness to relieve pain, have a stable pregnancy, especially women who want to have a natural labor and minimize pain.
The condition to apply this method is when the mother shows signs of labor with regular uterine contractions and causes pain, the cervix opens about 2 cm or more, said Dr. Dat.In Western countries, mothers can give birth in the same tank.At FV Hospital, this service is currently only available for underwater labor.
When the cervix is 8-9 cm wide, the mother will be put on the delivery table to prepare for the birth.In addition, the FV Obstetrics and Gynecology Department will deploy a number of new services including: romantic dinner for the couple, tea party to pick up the baby, hospital discharge gifts ( handbags, pillows for babies, frames, diapers...), nutritional foods for mothers...
