Vaginal delivery is a method of giving birth that many pregnant women choose, which is beneficial for the recovery of the mother's body and the growth of the fetus. However, there may also be some situations during vaginal delivery, which can prolong the delivery time and cause the newborn's head to be squeezed and deformed. So, how long will it take for the newborn's head to recover after being flattened during vaginal delivery?
The biggest fear during vaginal delivery is that the pregnant woman may lose strength during the delivery process, which can cause the baby to get stuck. In order to have a smooth delivery, it is necessary to perform a side cut, which often elongates the baby's head. And at this time, the baby is desperately trying to drill out, but the width of the birth canal is not enough. At this time, the baby's delicate head is still soft and easy to be squeezed and deformed by the birth canal. Parents don't have to worry because babies have good self repair abilities. Under normal circumstances, they can recover well after two to three months, and even slightly severe cases can recover within six months.
In order to avoid the occurrence of difficult labor during vaginal delivery, pregnant women need to pay attention to taking preventive measures during pregnancy. It is necessary to supplement nutrition reasonably, and also pay attention to doing some appropriate exercise for oneself, which is conducive to vaginal delivery. In addition, pregnant women should pay attention to eating high-energy foods such as chocolate before giving birth. We also need to maintain a good mentality, so that we are not easily nervous during production and can better avoid difficult childbirth.
After giving birth, if the newborn's head is flattened, parents can supplement the newborn with more calcium to promote physical recovery.
