Maternal therapy before childbirth - what is it? How to do it right? You will find answers to these and other questions in our article. This topic is often discussed among pregnant women. This is also jokingly called papa therapy. In a simple way, this is having sex (love) with your husband in the last stages of pregnancy. Many doctors advise menotherapy before giving birth to those women who have a baby too long.
What is happening and can it harm the baby?
A gynecologist may advise a future mother to have sex more often just before childbirth. This is done to stimulate labor. Immediately there are a lot of questions. Isn't that dangerous? A child does not hurt? If possible, then how?
The most dangerous when carrying a child is the first and last trimester. During orgasm, a strong contraction of the uterus occurs, which can cause a miscarriage. For this reason, it is better not to have sex. However, everything is very individual and depends on how the pregnancy proceeds in each individual woman.
When the health of the expectant mother is in order, then such therapy will benefit her. The reasons why menotherapy before delivery is indicated are as follows:
- mood improvement;
- contributes to a large release of hormones of endorphins, it has a very positive effect on the child;
- softens the cervix, which in the last stages is in a strong tone;
- stimulates childbirth;
- improvement of blood flow. Male therapy also stimulates placental blood flow, which is very useful before childbirth.
- It is a training for the uterus immediately before birth.
Male semen contains a hormone. When it enters the uterus, the latter has a softening effect on it and facilitates the process of childbirth.
It is almost impossible to harm a child while having sex. The fetus is reliably protected by the placenta and liquid, which prevents any effects on the baby from the outside. In addition, the uterus is tightly blocked by a mucous plug. The latter protects the baby and the uterus from microbes entering the amniotic fluid. As soon as the cork begins to be rejected, sexual relations should be stopped. It is impossible to carry out muetherapy after the water has passed. It really can be dangerous. If partners have sexually transmitted diseases, they can harm the baby. And after the water has gone, you should immediately go to the hospital.
Male therapy before childbirth. How to do it right?
Here the phrase “possible, if carefully” is appropriate, slowly, excluding sudden movements and without pressure on the stomach. Sex should not be active and long. If pain occurs, then it is necessary to stop intercourse. Spotting during intercourse is the reason to call an ambulance.
The most acceptable posture for a woman in position is the pose lying on her side, the pose of spoons. In this case, pressure on the stomach and sudden movements of partners are excluded.
Lying on your back in the later stages should be discarded. In this case, strong pressure is exerted on the stomach.
Other postures are also acceptable. For example, "rider", in which a woman independently controls the process and depth of penetration. The downside of this pose is deep penetration. Therefore, to make movements not up and down, but only back and forth.
Fit woman pose on all fours, man from behind. In this case, the future dad should once again be reminded that he be careful. In a fit of passion, a man can increase the range of motion and cause a woman discomfort.
Choosing a pose for having sex during pregnancy, a girl should rely on her feelings and follow the recommendations of a doctor. A man needs to be sympathetic to a woman's condition. He must tune in to calm and slow sex so that intercourse does not cause discomfort.
Mutotherapy only by mutual consent
Sex during pregnancy is beneficial if a woman wants to do it. Quite often, during this period, girls lack sex drive. Therefore, it is worth explaining to the partner your reluctance. In turn, the partner must understand and not insist on intercourse. If a woman is emotionally not ready for sexual intercourse, then the process can cause a negative reaction, provoke stress. The pleasure and benefits of sex during pregnancy can be possible only if this happens with the mutual consent of the partners.
Maternal therapy before childbirth is one of the best alternatives to drug stimulation for both mother and baby. An evening walk, a romantic light dinner by candlelight and pleasant music will help you to get in the right mood. Having sex during pregnancy is beneficial for both partners. This gives new sensations and emotions to spouses.
When not worth it?
In the presence of any pathology, parental therapy should be postponed before childbirth. With placental presentation, the placenta is very low in the uterus. Intimacy with such a violation can cause premature birth. You can not have sex:
- with the threat of miscarriage;
- premature opening of the uterus;
- pregnancy by several children;
- leakage of amniotic fluid.
In case of pain, pathological discharge during sexual intercourse at different stages of pregnancy, it is worthwhile to abstain from maternal therapy before childbirth. Bleeding or leakage of a large amount of clear fluid is a reason to immediately go to the hospital.
What do moms think?
Does mujetherapy help before childbirth? This question worries expectant mothers and fathers. In addition, there is some fear of intimacy in this position. It also raises the question of how efficiently the technique works.
Sometimes “grandmother’s methods” do not have the desired result. Cleaning, active and long walks, physical exercises do not lead to childbirth. Exercise is useful for a expectant mother, but there are limitations. Excessive physical activity can lead to undesirable consequences. Another popular method of bringing birth closer is to lift heavy objects. This method is also unsafe. Yes, and while starting cleaning, it should be remembered that someone close to you should be nearby. Since if the birth begins, you will need to provide the necessary assistance.
What do doctors think?
Gynecologists advise couples expecting a baby to have sex to stimulate labor. Do not forget about the precautions mentioned earlier. Of course, this may not happen immediately after sexual intercourse. But it is quite possible the next day or within a few hours thereafter. This method of stimulation is suitable when the child is in no hurry to go out into the white light and the mother moves around in time. Since transplanting is fraught with negative consequences for the female and children's body. Therefore, stimulation is required. Muetotherapy is very suitable in this case as a safe and natural way to accelerate the onset of labor. Official medicine does not confirm this. But the experience of doctors and mothers who used this therapy suggests the opposite. It is likely that if there is a name for this methodology, then it will soon receive official status.
The readiness of the uterus for childbirth. The effect of mediotherapy on cervical maturity
The female body is designed so that nature itself prepares everything for the upcoming birth.
The condition of the uterus, ready for childbirth, in medicine is called uterine maturity. It is shortened and becomes elastic, in order to provide the most comfortable passage for the child. Immediately before birth, this therapy has a positive effect on cervical maturity. She relaxes her and softens. This makes delivery easier.
What say those who have tried it?
Those who used muetherapiya before childbirth, leave only positive reviews. Women say that this method helped. Those who have benefited from muetherapy before childbirth, willingly share the details of such therapy. Some women have repeated experience using this method.
Myths
Now consider the myths about having sex during pregnancy, which are not confirmed:
The first myth is that it is impossible to inflict mechanical harm on a child during sex. Mom may experience slight discomfort while not observing safety precautions. But it depends on the state of health and the partners themselves.
The second myth - in the past it was believed that if the future parents have sex, the child can be born bruised. This is not happening. To confirm it is worth watching myth number 1.
Myth three - during pregnancy there should not be sex. In the absence of pathologies, any diseases, you can make love until the very birth. Just less active and in comfortable postures for the expectant mother.
Myth four - when you have sex during pregnancy, you need a condom. A pregnant woman cannot get pregnant again. Therefore, a condom is not needed. It will be needed if the woman has a new partner.
Myth five - during sex, you can infect the fetus. Nature is such that it reliably protects an unborn baby from infections, so this is not possible.
Myth six - during sex, the fetal bladder may burst. This container for a child is very durable, resilient and elastic, resistant to various mechanical influences. No matter what the lines of pregnancy, it is impossible to tear the fetal bladder during intercourse.
Have sex during pregnancy or not? The decision made depends only on the spouses and on the doctor. Prejudice and myths on this subject should not become a reason for rejection of natural pleasure.
