Baby's Story

Question:
It is necessary to keep the blood from my baby’s umbilical cord?

Answer:
This is sometimes done because it contains the mother’s cells, which are the type of cells that can be used to treat a series of blood disorders such as leukemia and severe anemia. This can also be kept commercially for the future just in case, but it is still not completely sure how useful it is to keep umbilical cords in blood banks and if the costs justify it.

If you are looking into it, you should try to investigate as much as you can on the topic, and if you decide to do so, arrange something with a good source. Besides there are hospital programs now tha

Perinea Massage
This type of massage has been something that has come into great interest in the last few years. it is a process that involves using oil or cream in the perinea by massaging the area, in preparation for the delivery. Although studies have shown that these massages decrease the need of doing lacerations, there are not a big number of cases in which it has proven to make a big difference. This does not mean though that you do not need to try it. If you think that this massage can help you and is comfortable for you, go ahead.

Prenatal Check Ups In The Last Term Of Pregnancy
At around this point which is between week twenty-eight and thirty-six, the doctor will want to see you every two weeks and then every week as the delivery approaches. The doctor will measure the same as always your arterial pressure, weight, cardiac rhythm of the baby, uterine height, and will do urine tests. These appointments are also a good time to talk to the doctor about all of the things related to the delivery. 

If you do not go into labor in the expected date, the doctor will want to do tests to see the value of the baby’s well being. After week forty or forty-one, the function of the placenta tends to decrease and the amount of amniotic liquid decreases, which is why it will be necessary to check both aspects. At forty-two weeks, many doctors will recommend inducing labor because it significantly increases the risk of the baby having problems.
