It is necessary to look at the circumstances. In women, nature itself has the ability to give birth. If you attend a course, it is better with your spouse, who can then attend the birth, tell you what poses you need to take, how to breathe properly, and so on. Since it will be difficult for a woman to concentrate in childbirth, and all knowledge will simply fly out of her head. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the courses. But if it is difficult with money, then you can go for free classes in a women's consultation, which is registered in pregnancy. There they teach the same.
Preparation for childbirth
Prepare for childbirth from the second half of pregnancy. Preparation should consist in reading of the special literature, and also in some exercises. This is not meant to be a regular exercise for pregnant women, it also needs to be done, but some manipulations are aimed at improving the elasticity of the perineum. You must clearly understand what you expect, so that there is no confusion.
It's not a secret for anyone that primiparous women have gaps in the perineum during labor. To avoid this, you need to do a special massage during pregnancy. But first you need to ask permission of the gynecologist, and only then proceed to this "gymnastics". Once a day, grease the crotch, for example, with olive oil, and 2 fingers pull down the lower part of the perineum. We do so that you do not have any painful sensations. If you do it carefully, it will be an excellent result.
In addition, when you are on the birth table, the midwife will do the same manipulations. And if you do not prepare, then this process will be very painful, because no one will be there with you, of course, if you do not give birth on a commercial basis. But if a woman has inflammatory processes in the vagina, there is a threat of abortion or premature birth, then such "exercises" can not be done.
Physical activity during pregnancy
