What is birth trauma?

The nature of thought through the time of the birth of a new person to the smallest detail. The skull of the newborn as the adult skull consists of many bones, but the baby they are very mobile and loosely linked. Woman this greatly facilitates the process of giving birth as the head is passing through the birth canal can change shape. And the baby thanks to the flexibility of the skull, in turn, manages to avoid injury and excessive pressure. But this is the ideal...

Statistics are inexorable: over 80% of children are born with injuries of varying severity. Most in the childbirth process, of course, suffers from the skull of the child: it is the head of a little person makes its way into the world, while experiencing tremendous stress. According to various estimates, from 50% to 86% of children are born with minor injuries of the skull, and 15% have more serious damage.

Of course, a large part acquired in the process of childbirth injuries not even reflected on the certificate a little patient, because to see a small displacement of bones in a fraction of a millimeter, without special studies is impossible. Meanwhile, the misplaced bone loses its mobility and impedes good blood flow to the brain. As a result, parents get restless, constantly crying baby. As practice shows, these perfectly healthy at first glance, the kids leave the hospital and later acquire diagnoses from neurologists, surgeons and orthopedists. Babies begin to heal from the effects of birth trauma (scoliosis, excessive regurgitation, severe intestinal colic, torticollis, nervous irritability, speech disorders, low body weight, bedwetting and much more), often not trying to eliminate them the real reason.

As for severe birth defects, a shift of the bone, unfortunately, it is not complete. With a strong displacement of the skull bones is also more pronounced displacement of the Dura mater, which has a strong influence on the brain. In the spine, most often under attack cervical spine, namely, the first and second vertebrae. Breech fetus may suffer the lumbar spine. Much less likely to get injured thoracic, pelvis and extremities of the child. Cerebral palsy (CP) is a consequence of the most severe birth injuries.

Special attention should be paid to birth trauma cesarean section this way the birth is even more traumatic for the baby. I came face to face with moms, who are afraid of pain in childbirth and seek the necessary indications for caesarean section. But this should not be a fad: the birth of a different path than the one that came up with nature, has on the body of a baby severely impacted.

A fetus for 40 weeks contained in liquids, can be roughly compared with a diver, deeply submerged under water. Now imagine that experience this diver, if he abruptly pull on the surface of the water. Something similar happens in a planned caesarean, when the labors began, and water still intact. Natural childbirth allows the small organism to smoothly transition from the aquatic environment into the air, gradually feel the whole body gravity, to get used to the pressure difference inside the mom and outside. For cesarean section should be very serious testimony, when natural childbirth is really dangerous for mother or child.

What is the reason for birth trauma?

Divided birth injuries in spontaneous and obstetric. To spontaneous injuries include all injuries of the tissues and organs of the newborn that occurs when normally proceeding childbirth, as uncomplicated and complicated. For example, too large a baby's head compared to the narrow pelvis of the mother, this factor often becomes the cause of birth injury in infants. This can be attributed to a fast and rapid labor (less than 4 hrs), prolonged labor (over 12 hours), abnormal position of the fetus and incorrect insertion of the baby's head. Obstetric includes all injuries that are caused by the actions of the midwife. For example, the use of forceps and allowances, the pressure of the hand on the bottom of the uterus, obstetric rotation, vacuum extraction of the fetus, and drug acceleration and stimulation of the birth.

On this last point is of particular note. Very often to speed up the process of childbirth the woman administered oxytocin. But you need to remember that the contractions, stimulated by oxytocin, is about three times more than usual. Head is simply not designed for this pressure! Hence the consequences. Because of the extensive use of oxytocin in our country in the 60s-70s 14-fold increase in the number of children with cerebral palsy.

In recent years more and more women in childbirth to ease pain at the battles have resorted to an epidural. But I will say this: epidural anesthesia is very bad for mom and for baby — much worse. Childbirth is a delicate process in which it is important everything, and disruption of any component harmful to the whole mechanism. Explain. It is very important in the direction the head through the birth canal. The introduction of an anesthetic drug has a relaxing effect on the pelvic muscles and they lose their elasticity and therefore can not establish a proper support for the head to fit out. That is, the birth canal is changed, and the head has to go not in the way that she intended, and more complex. Therefore, the use of epidural anesthesia 4 times more often there is a sharp turn of the head back of the head to the heart. This is a very unfavorable view of childbirth, which entails serious problems in the future.

Mothers who have faced at least one of the above listed items, most likely raising a baby with a birth injury. And if the baby besides diagnosed, for example, perinatal encephalopathy, torticollis or delay of psychomotor development, the reason lies in the birth injury. The same applies to kids suffering from sleep disorders, poor appetite, frequent regurgitation, hyperexcitability. The older children on untreated birth injuries may indicate scoliosis, weak immune system, strabismus, enuresis, neurosis, stuttering, learning difficulties, abnormality of behaviour, deviations in work of internal organs, frequent headaches, fatigue and more.

Birth trauma: can it be cured?

What you need to do to save the boat, which receives water? Of course, you can scoop water, but much better would be to find the flaw and patch it. Similar is the case with generic injuries. Can long to treat of their effects, but from them and not to get rid of. In order to remove or at least ease the diagnosis, you need to work directly with the skull. The key to the solution of the problem is osteopathy, and in particular, the method of Canibals.

With the help of a professional osteopath is able to feel the displacement of the bones of the skull and indicate where there is birth trauma. This can easily confirm by making Doppler study, magnetic resonance imaging or neurosonography. Using the method of Canibals possible to completely recreate ideal position of the bones of the skull of the newborn, by eliminating the trauma, restore blood flow to the brain and completely remove a diagnosed.

Of course, it is necessary to consider the seriousness of the birth injury. If I bring the baby with minor injuries, the consequence of which were colic, vomiting or irritability, after a few sessions, the little patient becomes calm and cheerful as I call it — is built. However, if the injury is serious, there is a huge role is played by the age of the child. For example, a very small baby with cerebral palsy is the injury likely has not yet led to critical violations of physical and mental development. Then, after intensive manipulation of craniostenosis he can grow a completely healthy person. But if the case is already running, you can only talk about improvement.

There are three stages at which birth trauma stronger fixed in the body. The first is when the child gets up on his feet, the second at the age of 7-8 years, when the ossified base of the skull, and the third is when there is an accompanying puberty growth spurt, in girls it happens in 10-12 years, boys approximately 2 years later. The ideal age to start treatment is one month. Therefore, expectant mothers and mothers of infants, I would advise you to bring your child to the osteopath. As a rule, the younger the age the faster it is possible to remove the effects of trauma. And a well tuned body will always reward for taking care of good physical health, an inquisitive mind and tremendous vitality. posted by: Belly P. S.
