If childbirth is slow, then it becomes a difficult test for the baby and mother. Acceleration of contractions and labor can be medically dictated, therefore, it is assumed that all available methods are used.
Instructions
Step 1
At the first signs of the onset of labor, a woman can take measures so that the process does not turn out to be protracted and too long. It is necessary to move, because a change in body position will not only speed up the contractions, but also bring relief in the form of a reduction in pain and discomfort. Walk around the room, squat, change your body position more often. It is useful to swing your hips from side to side, bend forward during a contraction.
Step 2
Empty your bladder more often - in an overfilled state, it can inhibit the passage of the baby's head. During contractions, all senses are heightened and you may not feel the urge to urinate, so try to relax and control the urination process.
Step 3
If you are at home, you can take a warm shower or bath. This procedure will reduce painful sensations and help relax the muscles, making it easier for contractions and stimulating labor. To intensify contractions, you can try washing the floors, going up and down stairs several times, and having sex. Sexual intercourse enhances blood circulation in the small pelvis, which can be an additional stimulus for activating labor. Irritation of the nipples causes uterine contractions, so a light, tickling breast massage can be done on your own or by asking someone close to you. A laxative enema contributes to the contraction of the intestines, which simultaneously acts on the uterus, causing its activity.
Step 4
Medical methods of accelerating labor are designed to reduce the duration of the labor process and are carried out already in the maternity hospital. Puncture of the fetal bladder is a painless procedure and causes a strong increase in contractions. The introduction of labor stimulants will help intensify the contractions. Artificial contractions become violent and frequent, increase pain, and pain relievers may need to be administered.
