As a rule, a pregnant woman is looking forward to the arrival of her baby. But not everyone is able to independently cope with pain during childbirth. There are medicated and natural methods of pain relief during labor.
Instructions
Step 1
Usually, antispasmodics and non-narcotic analgesics are used during childbirth, which help reduce pain during the period of cervical dilatation. They work quite effectively and are harmless to the child, however, it is almost impossible to completely anesthetize childbirth with their help.
Step 2
If you are afraid of pain or do not tolerate it (some of them faint from pain, which is highly undesirable during childbirth), ask your obstetricians to give you an epidural. This is the most common method of pain relief and causes numbness below the waist. The dosage of the drugs will be prescribed by your doctor. There are certain contraindications to this type of anesthesia, so start preparing yourself for self-medication-free pain relief in advance.
Step 3
The easiest way is to prepare yourself in advance for the upcoming birth. The relaxation technique helps a lot. Sign up for special courses for expectant mothers, they will definitely tell you how to relax during the birth process. In addition, read more dedicated literature for detailed descriptions of each step.
Step 4
Breathe correctly during childbirth. To do this, inhale as rarely as possible with a short inhalation, and exhale for a long time. Breathe in this way at the time of the onset of contractions, in the intervals between them you can breathe as usual. If you practice breathing for several months before childbirth, you may not breathe at all during the contraction - this significantly reduces pain. Sing songs when the pain is severe, but so that you do not have to inhale often. Do not shout, so you will not only worsen your well-being, but also cause trouble for the medical staff.
Step 5
If you are giving birth with your husband, ask him to massage your buttocks, sacrum and thighs to significantly reduce pain and help you relax.
