Having a baby is a rather complicated process. To deliberately decide to try this again means to provide for all the nuances of this action. Many women are afraid of a second birth, especially if the first was with complications. However, this phobia can be overcome - you need to find a competent doctor and undergo a complex of examinations.
How to choose a good gynecologist
The gynecologist who will manage the pregnancy should be chosen especially carefully. It is on the correctness of his prescriptions that a successful outcome depends, that is, the birth of a healthy baby. A competent specialist will definitely advise a psychologist who will help overcome the fears of a pregnant woman. The doctor will conduct a course of examinations, according to the results of which he will correct the menu of the pregnant woman and her lifestyle. The multiparous should inform the doctor about the existing health problems and the presence of chronic diseases. If pregnancy is still in the plans, you should support the body with a vitamin and mineral complex. It is prescribed by a doctor, based on the state of health and characteristics of the patient's body.
If the period after the birth of the first child was not burdened with complications and more than one and a half years have passed before the moment of conception, this means that the body is already ready for the next pregnancy.
In order not to be afraid of the second birth, it is recommended to learn more about the features of their course. In most cases, in those giving birth for the second time, the period from the moment the contractions begin to the birth itself lasts much less than the first time. Contractions of the uterus are not as painful. The body is already adapted to such a process, and the tissues of the birth canal are much more elastic thanks to the first birth.
During the second pregnancy, you should lead a calm and measured lifestyle, follow all the prescriptions of the attending physician. If necessary, you can visit a geneticist, who will draw up a detailed family tree to check for possible hereditary diseases. It should be borne in mind that the queue for such a specialist is quite impressive. That is why it is recommended to make a preliminary appointment.
The main reasons for the fear of second birth
Some of the fair sex are wary of a second pregnancy and childbirth, because they believe that they will subsequently expect irreversible changes in appearance. Stretch marks rank first in this ranking, followed by sagging breasts and excess weight. But now there are a huge number of different cosmetic products that will prevent the occurrence of stretch marks. A plastic surgeon will help to correct the shape of the breasts, and exercise will return to its former harmony. After all, already 5 months after the birth of the child, you can start visiting the gym. The most important thing is to choose a trainer who is able to develop an individual training program.
It is necessary to properly adjust yourself before childbirth. Reading books about obstetrics, meditation, and cultivating positive thoughts can help.
