Part

The birth of sextuplets is something really strange: only one in five billion deliveries in the world. And it is really difficult for such a large pregnancy to end well.

During delivery, the baby's entire body must pass through the mother's pelvis and into the vaginal canal. As we know, the baby's head is proportionally the largest part of its body at this stage, with a diameter equal to that of the thorax.

When the delivery is near, the question arises: opt for an anesthesia so as not to feel pain or face the moment of delivery with other pain control techniques, without anesthesia involved.

One of the most controversial maneuvers performed during childbirth is what is known as the Kristeller maneuver, which is one in which pressure is exerted on the mother's abdomen (the fundus of the uterus) to get the baby to come out, or as minimum reaches the coronation, that is, the head pops out.

Many women resort to the use of epidural anesthesia when giving birth. And although this anesthesia has undoubtedly been a before and after in the management of pain during childbirth, it is a personal decision that must be taken in a thoughtful way.

It has happened in Oviedo, where a pregnant woman who exceeded 42 weeks of gestation and intended to give birth at home, was forced to enter the hospital after a medical report that warned of "risk of fetal hypoxia and intrauterine fetal death."

If there is something precise about the probable due dates, it is that in the end who has the last word is the baby, since it is he who decides when to be born. As we know, under normal conditions, it is best to wait for labor to start naturally and for each baby to choose the right time to be born.

On January 16, 2013, a pregnant woman went to the Virgen de la Victoria University Hospital in Malaga with childbirth symptoms. After she was admitted, she was transferred to the delivery room where she was treated by the gynecologist and a midwife.
