Childbirth is a natural process, but in most women it causes fear and panic. This is due to the fact that the body after the birth of a child should be restored both physically (sagging skin, excess weight, changes in the pelvic bones, back pain, etc.), and morally. Especially women are afraid of the pain that can occur directly in the process. Note that pain is a natural condition for childbirth, which indicates that the body is completely ready for the appearance of the child. However, a premonition of such "torment" negatively affects the psychological state of a woman and can lead to certain complications. Therefore, our task is to help a woman understand how to facilitate childbirth on her own.
If, as pain increases, panic and fear appear, the woman feels defenseless, this can affect the opening of the cervix: it will slow down significantly. As a result, labor is weakened. It also negatively affects the child. Thus, painless childbirth largely depends on how the pregnant woman obeys doctors and obstetricians.
Many doctors advise women to move rather than sit and lie down. Thus, the mother, changing poses, helps the baby sit comfortably near the uterus. Because then, when he goes through the genital tract, he will cause less injury to a woman. In this matter, it is important not to forget that difficulties arise not only in the mother, but also in the baby. Therefore, it is important to set yourself up psychologically.
Another aspect of facilitating childbirth is massage and torso movements. These actions contribute to the heating of the body, as a result of which the blood circulation in all organs and systems improves and the pain spasm that accompanies every fight is reduced. Doctors also recommend that the mother simply walk along the maternity hall or corridor.
In many maternity hospitals, one way to give birth without pain is to use a gym ball. In this case, a woman in childbirth is recommended to sit on the ball and make circular movements clockwise or just jump on it. At this time, the midwife or husband (if the family chose a joint birth) will greatly help the woman in labor, doing massage of the lower back and spine. As a rule, many women claim that it’s not so much the stomach as the back. Massage stimulates blood circulation and distracts a woman, reducing pain.
A very important part in how to facilitate childbirth is the joint attendance of pregnant women with her husband . Then the future father will be able to provide the necessary assistance to his wife and maintain composure during childbirth. The hardest moment for a woman is a fight. Just here, the support of the spouse is indispensable. He provides both moral support (distracting with conversation, he can make a joke), and physical - massage.
Another way to make delivery easier is to hold them in water. It is believed that this is the easiest way to give birth to a child. In water, a person does not feel the weight of his body. Plunging into the water, the body receives a kind of massage movement, relaxes. The muscles get warm.
When the pain during childbirth is unbearable, and the cervix does not open properly, thereby slowing down the process of childbirth, doctors sometimes use special medications, making injections or droppers. This action is aimed at stimulating contractions, opening the cervix and analgesia.
Before applying this procedure, doctors must consult with the patient, asking her consent and clarifying the availability of medications for which she is allergic, so as not to harm the health of the mother and the unborn baby.
