00:00 Mommy Joyce is 30 years old.
00:03 It's been a long time since she dreamed of having a baby.
00:07 She's been pregnant for 12 years.
00:12 I stopped taking my pills and we lost control.
00:17 We didn't know if we could have a baby or not.
00:22 If we don't have a baby, it will be hard for us.
00:26 It will be a new beginning for us.
00:29 That's why she doesn't have any happiness when she found out that she's pregnant.
00:37 Along with her pregnancy, she also has a lot of food cravings.
00:43 I eat everything I want to eat.
00:47 I usually look for vegetables, bakery breads, and cold water.
00:55 Sometimes, I eat 3 to 2.5 cups of rice.
01:00 That's why she almost lost her weight.
01:05 When I was not pregnant, I weighed 49 kilos.
01:09 When I was 63 to 64, that's when I lost my weight.
01:16 That's why her doctor advised her to take a diet.
01:21 I was left alone for a month.
01:26 That's why I had a hard time on a diet.
01:29 After a month, the day their husband has been waiting for has arrived.
01:37 But the problem is, Joyce took 3 hours to get ready.
01:43 Because of the size of the baby, she was too big to go out.
01:50 I had a hard time to go out.
01:52 She was already pregnant, and she was about to go out.
01:55 I was so angry that I couldn't go out.
02:00 I think it was hard for her because it was a long time before the baby was born.
02:06 And she couldn't go out because she was too big.
02:12 Baby Kendrix is 6.6 pounds.
02:18 Her eldest son is almost triple the weight, only 2.5 pounds.
02:23 But the thing that she was worried about the most was that she couldn't hear her baby crying.
02:34 She also couldn't breathe.
02:43 The reason why Baby Kendrix was already pregnant.
02:47 What happened to Mommy Joyce was called "prolonged labor" or abnormal duration of labor.
03:01 It depends on the condition of the baby.
03:06 In the case of Mommy Joyce,
03:10 It was 8 p.m. and she went straight to the ER.
03:13 She took 3 hours to get ready.
03:17 She went out for 1 hour before the baby was born.
03:20 I expected the baby to go out.
03:22 In the first time of giving birth, we give 10 to 12 hours.
03:28 If the baby went out, it means that it was already prolonged labor.
03:32 In the second time of giving birth, or the third or fourth time of giving birth,
03:38 it can also be called prolonged labor.
03:41 If the baby during the first pregnancy or first delivery is smaller than the second baby,
03:48 or if there are malpresentations that the baby's position is different,
03:52 it can be called prolonged labor.
03:54 Because of this, Baby Kendrix lost her oxygen.
03:59 I was nervous. I was nervous.
04:02 She wasn't active. She didn't cry.
04:07 Did they save Baby Kendrix?
04:10 I'm so tired. I'm so tired.
04:15 Watch out for that later.
04:18 According to experts,
04:22 some of the reasons for prolonged labor are not only a mother with 3 pieces of obstetrics.
04:29 This is power, passage, and passenger.
04:34 This is what we evaluate. What is power?
04:37 Power is the strength of the mother in giving birth,
04:40 and the strength of her breast, the hardening of her mattress.
04:45 Because this is what pushes the baby down if she is in the active phase of labor,
04:50 especially when she reaches the second stage.
04:53 And then we have the passageway.
04:55 The passageway is what we call the mother's pinch.
04:58 We evaluate if this is tight, this is wide.
05:01 If it is tight, the baby may not fit.
05:04 It won't go down.
05:05 Or even if it is wide, if the baby is big, it may not go down.
05:10 And then our passenger is the baby, of course.
05:12 The progress of labor will also depend on the size of the baby.
05:18 Even if the power is normal, the passageway is also normal.
05:21 If the baby is too big, like in the passageway, it will not go down.
05:25 There will be prolonged labor or eventually failure of labor.
05:30 If the condition of the power, passageway, and passenger is not good,
05:34 there is a high possibility of prolonged labor.
05:37 Because of this, the baby may have a fetal compromise.
05:41 This happens if the baby lacks oxygen inside the mother's womb,
05:48 or during labor, the baby's oxygen supply is jeopardized.
05:54 If the fetal asphyxia does not recover during delivery,
05:57 the baby may die.
06:00 Or if it is late, the long-term consequences of fetal asphyxia
06:05 can be seen when the baby grows up.
06:08 Aside from the baby, the mother is also affected.
06:13 There is a risk that her uterine rupture will burst.
06:17 I'm scared.
06:18 I'm scared.
06:21 Meanwhile, because baby Kendrick's uvera is slowly coloring,
06:27 the nurses and midwives tried to cover the baby's back.
06:31 They also used suction on the nose and mouth
06:37 to remove the fluids that may be in the baby's uvera.
06:41 And after one minute,
06:45 the baby became conscious and started crying.
06:53 [baby crying]
06:56 [speaking in Tagalog]
07:01 [baby crying]
07:04 I felt that all the pain was gone.
07:07 Baby, welcome to the world, baby.
07:11 [baby crying]
07:14 According to experts,
07:16 the baby is healthy when it cries, it immediately becomes vigorous.
07:22 When the baby cries immediately, it means that the baby is okay.
07:24 Because if it doesn't cry immediately,
07:26 it may be lacking in oxygen or it may not be stimulated well.
07:30 For now, we are very thankful to Mommy Joyce
07:34 that baby Kendrick is strong and vigorous.
07:37 Our resident obstetrician gynecologist, Doc Yu,
07:44 has an advice to avoid prolonged labor.
07:48 First, we should pay attention to the weight of the baby's 3 Ps of obstetrics.
07:54 Why is the baby big?
07:57 Because Mommy is also big.
07:59 Her caloric intake is more than what she needs.
08:02 In a normal weight mother,
08:04 they should gain 1.2 pounds per week.
08:08 Not more than that.
08:10 Squats and yoga also help Mommy to increase her power and passage.
08:17 There are appropriate exercises for each trimester.
08:20 And yoga is okay from first to the last trimester.
08:24 Because there is yoga for pregnant women.
08:27 Simple walking and breathing exercises are also good
08:32 to avoid prolonged labor.
08:34 Exercise can help in conditioning the muscles of the mother's abdomen.
08:40 Because the abdominal muscles are also needed
08:43 so that when they push, the pressure is good.
08:50 And the muscles that surround the pelvic area will also be relaxed.
08:56 And this can help during labor.
08:58 We, as mothers, have no other desire
09:03 but the safety of our children.
09:05 To the expectant mothers,
09:08 remember that the doctors' advice should always be followed.
09:13 The do's and don'ts in pregnancy,
09:16 don't leave it to chance.
09:18 So that Baby and we won't be put in danger.
