Childbirth Pains
Sunday, July 19th, 2009For every woman, giving birth is the most natural thing in the world, but for some of us that are experiencing it for the first time is seems like a nightmare. Some women don’t enjoy pregnancy at all as they will spend everyday struggling with the thought of childbirth:- What if something goes wrong? What if something happens to the baby? What if I can’t take the pain? The pain….the blood….. it would be so terrifying, like a horror film!!! For some women the joy of pregnancy will be overshadowed by fear. But the reality is totally different – Pregnancy should be full of excitement :- those sweets little talks with your belly, preparing the nursery, buying small baby things and best of all feeling your baby moving. The delight of touching your growing belly and the excitment of a living, growing baby in your tummy is fantastic. If you feel terrified do not be afraid to speak to your practition, the feeling of sharing your problems is already part of the healing process. Train your brain to think positively – not negatively. Go to classes to learn breathing and relaxation techniques. Allow yourself to use the natural instincts that will help you to have a safer, easier and more comfortable natural birth. Remember that the more tension you’ll be during labour the more your muscles tense and it would be more painful. Labour should be the best experience in your life. If you change your outlook about childbirth you’ll be looking foward to it and the weeks will flew by with exictement. Relaxation helps you have a more natural and less painful bith. |
