Each expectant mother, preparing for childbirth, thinks through everything to the smallest detail. Up to what hygiene procedures she needs to do before going to the hospital, whether it is necessary to cleanse the intestines just before childbirth and how to do it correctly. In fact, various perinatal centers and maternity hospitals establish their own rules for the hygienic preparation of a woman in labor.
Instructions
Step 1
If in the maternity hospital where you are going to give birth to a baby, there are no firm settings, to do a cleansing enema before childbirth or to avoid it, approach the solution of the problem as you see fit.
Step 2
Do not drink medicinal laxatives, especially those containing in their basis herbal extracts of buckthorn, hay (Alexandrian leaf). It will be correct, if you decide to cleanse the intestines before childbirth, to do an enema at home.
Step 3
Use plain warm water (boiled and cooled) for the enema. You can use the pharmaceutical preparation "Norgalax" for the preparation of the enema solution, which does not disturb the intestinal microflora of the pregnant woman and washes it well.
Step 4
The enema should be filled with a volume of up to one or one and a half liters. Do it while lying on your side. Ask your loved ones to help you enter the correct enema into the anus, lubricated with petroleum jelly or nourishing cream. After the enema is administered, lie down for a while and go to the toilet. If you feel that the enema has not completely emptied your intestines, repeat the procedure again.
Step 5
Try to give an enema before the onset of severe contractions and the onset of the birth itself. The procedure for cleansing the intestines, carried out in advance, will help you to concentrate completely not on the state of the intestines at the time of childbirth, but on the birth of the baby.
