Childbirth is a physiological process of expulsion from the uterus of the fetus, amniotic fluid and afterbirth after the fetus reaches viability. Many pregnant women are characterized by fear of future childbirth and the pain associated with it. You cannot give in to fear, since the fear of pain is absolutely meaningless: it can be much stronger or not at all terrible. The better a woman is prepared for childbirth, the easier it will be, there will be fewer difficulties and the reunion between mother and baby will become more joyful. Preparing for childbirth is necessary in the same way as for pregnancy: physically and psychologically.

Step 2
There are many interesting activities: gymnastics for expectant mothers, yoga for pregnant women. Many women think that in such courses they only teach how to give birth and breathe correctly, but in fact this is not all.

This is an opportunity to be surrounded by the same expectant mothers, openly share your feelings, fears, hopes, consult with specialists and gain experience.
