Did you know that it can be risky for you and your baby to rush to the hospital too soon when your contractions start? In this video, Nathalie Kaufmann, Pregnancy and Birth Consultant and TCM Therapist, and Mathias Ritter, Researcher and Science Geek, tell you why!
First, they explain what exactly is (normally) going to happen when a woman goes into labor.
Then they discuss why many couples rush to the hospital as soon as the transition from mild to strong contractions has taken place and why this may to be too soon for you to be admitted.
Next, they explain what is likely to happen when you rush to the hospital too soon, even when you have strong contractions.
Most importantly, they explain why rushing to the hospital too soon could increase the risk for you and your baby. To be precise, being admitted too soon often increases the risk of having medical interventions, including C-sections.
Therefore, in the next step, they explain what “being admitted too soon” means in the first place. And they discuss how it is related to your dilation, but also your contractions.
Finally, they give you tips on what to do to avoid situations in which you would be admitted too soon.
