Breathing of pregnant women during labor

Many unpleasant sensations and fear during the birth of the baby can be avoided by learning to control your own breathing. And meanwhile, giving birth to a baby without complications and with minimal discomfort is not a fiction, but a reality. Scientists have long proven that active behavior in childbirth and control of breathing helps a woman to survive the birth easily and even pleasantly, and the baby is safely born healthy.

That is, how will the delivery take place depends largely on the future mother, on her attitude and desire to help herself and the baby. How to breathe during childbirth, you will find in the article on the topic "Breathing of pregnant women during childbirth".

Some women first think about how to breathe correctly, only with the onset of labor. But most modern expectant mothers in the last trimester of pregnancy attend special parent courses, where they learn the basic techniques of the patrimonial breathing. And it's very cool. The earlier you begin to work on your own breathing, to master special exercises and exercise regularly, the faster the organism will remember "how to do", and in childbirth will prompt the necessary behavior. Some women are embarrassed to try to breathe in class, and at home it seems inappropriate and ridiculous. "That's when I'll give birth, then I'll get some," future mothers wave, relying on the received "theoretical" training. However, the most effective is still the acquisition of "practical" experience. Consider that childbirth is a premiere, and there mistakes should be minimal.

Now the contractions are mild, rare, intensify slightly and do not cause special difficulties. The neck only begins to unfold, and this can take several hours. Deep, deliberately slowed down breaths and the same long exhalations will help to relax and drive away the intrusive alarm. Elephant calm and sober mind is the best background for any exam, especially for such an important one! At the end of this phase, the first tangible fights can appear. Now you can work in the direction of reducing pain. Breathe like this: 1-2-3-4 - breathing in, 1-2-3-4-5-6 - exhalation. He is longer than a third breath. This balance well sucks the baby's oxygen and helps mom not to strain.

Active phase of contractions

Lean forward on the back of the bed or stand on all fours - so the muscles of the abdomen relax well, and already this alone actually reduces pain. Watch your breathing, do not delay it - let it not be so deep, but even. Breathe in with your nose, and exhale with your mouth on the quiet sound of "Aaaa-aa". Sway on your hands in time with the movements of the hips. Now it is still important to maintain the muscles of the abdomen, diaphragm, back and pelvis as relaxed as possible. In the most intense battles, there is a feeling that the previous breath, even, is no longer effective. I want to start to actively act, and the main mistake of the woman in labor is to pinch the pain by straining all muscles, holding the breath or chaotic movements with the body. It will not bring any relief, but will add problems accurately. The more you breathe, the faster and painless the fight goes. This technique very effectively relieves muscle tension and brings a subsequent rapid relaxation. In the intervals between contractions, return to the even and deep breathing. It will saturate the muscles with oxygen, and the subsequent pain will be felt much less. Yes, and crumbs now, oxygen is very necessary!

The phase of birth

It often happens that the child is ready to be born, but the cervix has not yet fully revealed, and the baby has not sank into the birth canal completely. At this time, the most intense fights come, to which early attempts are already added. It is effective "canine" breathing. Such a technique helps to quickly come to "combat" readiness, well relaxes the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles. Hooray, you can push! Now the birth of a baby depends only on you, on how you feel, which means that there is an opportunity to prepare well. Collect as much air as possible and, with the beginning of the attempt, delay it, tautening (direct the muscles effort exactly into the crotch) on the sound of "Iiiia." It is very important to exhale powerfully and to the end.

Phase of placenta outlet

This event completes the process of birth and is not felt by itself. Sometimes the placenta departs itself, but, maybe, you will need to light up again at the command of the doctor. Hold your breath - and it's done! The theoretical course is over. And now for you - training. Do not worry and do not worry. Remember, the birth will pass gently, if you do this now, and breathing can do real miracles. Well, if you suddenly forgot something at the "X" hour, do not be nervous, but listen carefully to the midwife, she will tell you promptly. Now we know what should be the right breathing of pregnant women during childbirth.
