Visualize this magical moment as you prepare for the arrival ofyour little one. Here are some tips for preparing for childbirth.
Do not fear, Keep courage
Since a girl learns about the reproductive system, the fear of childbirth takes shape in her mind. Not only that, she also learns from people around her that childbirth is very painful.
This 'fear' makes childbirth preparation even more difficult. Fear triggers the release of adrenaline internally, making a simple delivery painful.
All other mammals, besides humans, give birth to their offspring very comfortably because there is no 'fear' there.
Visualize
Just talking about fear or reading about it does not bring freedom.
During the last three months of pregnancy, take time every day to visualize that -
'I am in the final stage of pregnancy, calm and stable.. I am being taken to the operation theater for delivery.. I am excited to welcome my upcoming child with great courage..'
'As per the doctor's advice, I am doing everything very comfortably. My baby is very healthy, so he is testing my love in this world. Still, I am going through all the processes in good health. I have completed the challenge of delivery. I have my dear child in my hands. I am very happy.'
Keep creating positive mental images like this for Labor and delivery preparation.
Yoga-Pranayama-Exercise
Yoga and pranayama keep the body flexible and the mind happy. According to an expert, one should do yoga-pranayama-exercises for a simple delivery. In the last month, one should learn Squatting exercises and Delivery Breathing techniques.
Simple Delivery Diet and Sleep
Consult a good Ayurvedic doctor and get guidance on a simple delivery diet according to your nature(Vat-Pitt-Kaf) and get tips about balancing ‘Vayu’ dosh.
Good sleep keeps the whole body healthy and the mind cheerful. Throughout pregnancy, one should sleep for at least 8 hours at night.
Delivery Planning
'How does labor pain start?, What should be done then?' -Ask experienced positive mothers.
'How to go to the doctor?, Who will go with you?, What is the process there?, What things will be needed?, Who to call after the baby is born?' - Ask experienced parents so that there is no rush at the last moment.
Keep your child in mind
Planning and the 9 months of pregnancy were in our hands, the entire delivery process is in the hands of God and the doctor. Any decision can be taken in the operation theater. Be prepared for all possible situations. Keep your child in mind, not the pain. Even after many efforts, if normal delivery is not possible, be prepared for a cesarean too. Both the child and the mother should remain healthy and prefer that path.
