Pelvimetry: what it is and why it is in disuse to decide the mode of delivery

Pelvimetry is a measurement that is made of the diameters of the mother's pelvis, both the upper and lower strait, in relation to the diameter of the fetus's head to find out if there is a possible disproportion that makes vaginal delivery difficult, and should have a caesarean section.

Instrumental delivery: the use of forceps, vacuum and spatulas to help the baby to be delivered

We speak of instrumental delivery when the use of external elements is used to extract the baby through the birth canal at the time of delivery. The most commonly used instruments are forceps, suction cups, and spatulas.

My baby is breech: what can I do to make him turn over?

Most babies are placed in the cephalic position, that is, with the head on the mother's pelvis, between weeks 28 and 32 of gestation, in order to be able to descend easily through the birth canal. But some continue in another position, breech (sitting on the mother's pelvis) or transverse, weeks later.

It is possible to have a normal delivery after a cesarean section: my experience

One of the most frequent fears when you have a cesarean section and plan to have another baby is the type of delivery you will have.

How long does labor last, phase by phase?

There is no definitive answer to "how long does labor last?" It is very relative to define it, since the time that elapses from the first contraction to the birth of the baby varies greatly from one woman to another. Various factors intervene in the duration of a birth, such as whether you are a new mother or not, the position of the baby and your emotional state, among many others.

The position of the baby in the womb at the time of delivery

One of the questions that pregnant women ask themselves as the time of delivery approaches is whether their baby will be well positioned at birth. In fact, its position is checked in each ultrasound to see if everything is going well, a very important issue at the end of pregnancy, because the position of the baby is decisive in the development of labor.
