As the due date approaches, every woman feels a little fear, because this is the first birth, no one knows if it hurts or not. Most expectant mothers begin to panic altogether, because they are simply afraid that they will be able to do everything right.
For a very long time, a woman wears a second life under her heart, and when the moment of the most exciting action comes, mom starts to worry - this is natural. The main thing is to understand that a little excitement before childbirth is normal, there is nothing strange about it.
But how can you keep your anxiety under control, learn to calm yourself?
No matter how it may seem that no global changes in the body occur, except for an increase in the abdomen, this is not the case. The body of a woman who is preparing to become a mother begins preparing for childbirth almost from the very moment of fertilization. But most of the changes occur at the end of pregnancy. Metabolism improves every day, blood pressure returns to normal by improving blood circulation.
The lungs and heart begin to work in a different mode, so to speak for two, in order to protect the body during childbirth and saturate it with energy and oxygen in the required amount. Immediately before childbirth, the cartilaginous tissue of the mother's body swells, and the elasticity of the perineal tissue increases, which makes the child's patency easier and more painless.
When the expectant mother begins to prepare for childbirth, the most important thing during this period is a good psychological state. Morally, you need to prepare only for the good, not think about anything bad.
Day of birth. Why you shouldn't be afraid of him
