For those last few days before you meet your baby, we want to give you a few tips to bear in mind before you go to hospital.<\/p>\n
\n- The dilation stage will start at home and the first contractions, which are less painful, will occur at regular intervals. They\u2019ll gradually get stronger. Don\u2019t forget that the purpose of this stage is to dilate the cervix between 8 and 10 centimetres.<\/li>\n
- Starting to feel pain from the contractions is no reason to rush to hospital. When they start, you\u2019ll want to keep an eye on the clock. It will be time to leave home once you\u2019ve been having regular contractions for two hours and they\u2019re becoming closer together.<\/li>\n
- Bear in mind that if the hospital is far away from your home, you shouldn\u2019t let the contractions get too close together. If your waters break at home and the fluid is clear, there\u2019s no need to rush to hospital. You can have a shower and calmly get ready.<\/li>\n
- The dilation stage can differ greatly from one woman to another. It may take a long time or you may dilate very quickly. The most important thing is to keep calm. Provided there\u2019s no medical reason to do so, don\u2019t lie down. Staying upright will help you at this time.<\/li>\n
- You\u2019ll know you\u2019ve reached the expulsion stage when you feel the urge to push. It will all happen very quickly. Let yourself be guided by the medical staff who will be helping you.<\/li>\n
- Once you\u2019ve got your baby in your arms, don\u2019t forget that you still have to expel the placenta. But with all the excitement of meeting your baby, you may not even notice.<\/li>\n
- Don\u2019t forget the importance of skin-to-skin contact after birth. The paediatrician may check your baby while he or she is on your breast so that it\u2019s not necessary to separate you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
