First Stage (just before delivery)

First stage (just before delivery) - The first time a mother comes to the hospital or maternity hospital, something may happen, namely the new mother experiences regular heartburn, or is ready to give birth. So mothers need easy access to enter the birthing area. The physical condition of women giving birth who experience setbacks in movement, such as having difficulty moving quickly, being unable to walk far, and having an unpredictable delivery time are things that need to be considered in order to make access to the birthing environment easier. - A birthing environment that is easily accessible from the moment the mother enters is important if we look at the physical condition and time the mother gives birth because it is a special need, so that the mother can feel comfortable in a birthing environment, because she feels her needs are met.Some time before the mother gives birth to her child, the mother will experience contractions which can limit the mother's movements. So mothers are advised to do movements that can relieve the pain experienced during contractions. At this stage, the mother usually stays overnight at the hospital or place where the mother will give birth. During that time, the mother was given the freedom to control herself. Mothers are allowed to go for a walk, gather with their waiting family, or just lie in bed, as long as what they do makes them feel comfortable and does not violate medical regulations.89% of women feel that being able to walk around freely during labor is very important and nine out of ten women feel that the physical surroundings can affect how easy or difficult it is to give birth. - It can be concluded that mothers need a relaxed atmosphere in the birthing environment, which can be achieved with a supportive space, such as a garden, canteen or just a comfortable waiting room. After opening, the mother should lie down in bed or a comfortable position according to the mother, to reduce the risk of the membranes rupturing and the mother's condition starting to weaken. Until the mother finally reaches complete opening of the birth canal, the mother is ready to give birth. At this stage, family support is very important. The presence of the family can provide emotional support to the mother, which in turn can give the mother a sense of confidence, so that it can help the birth process run smoothly. - Based on the mother's activities in this stage, easy access for the mother and family is important. Additionally, it is neededspace A suitable quality space, both indoors and outdoors, is also important, such as a room atmosphere that can calm mothers and families who are waiting for the birth of their baby. So it can be donewrite that, in the first stage, the midwife's role is to provide the following things to the birthing mother. 1) Privacy - If the mother gives birth in a hospital or midwife's practice and the door is open, the door curtain can be closed. Windows and curtains can be closed or opened according to mother's choice. If you need to use the bathroom and want total privacy, don't hesitate to say so. Including who the mother allows and wants to be in the room. - Events in hospitals often contradict this, often when a mother is giving birth, she becomes a spectacle for people who are in fact prospective doctors (coas & residents), prospective midwives and prospective midwives. If you feel uncomfortable about this, you must have the courage to express it.
