Fasting during labor is not beneficial for women

(Anhr: SK & D)

During labor, women are often urged by the physicians to try to push hard to expel the pregnancy when there is a mound. This can make women give birth more quickly, but can also cause bad effects to their bladder.

That is the conclusion of Dr. Steven Bloom and colleagues at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Texas, USA, after comparing the possible risks of pushing and pushing naturally. There are 320 women, divided into two groups. Group 1 is trained to try to push for 10 seconds every time there is a mound, group 2 is told to push naturally at will. The end result showed that, although the average birth time of group 1 was shortened by 13 minutes, it was reduced bladder capacity and caused bladder irritation for women later, while group 2 was very less likely to suffer from this phenomenon.

This demonstrates that the urgency to promote labor during labor does not bring any outstanding benefits when it is natural to keep pushing, so careful consideration should be taken when applying this method.
