TIPS FOR EASY LABOUR AND DELIVERY

 Childbirth is an important milestone in a mother's life. A mother must be calm and stress-free during labour/delivery and have a normal baby. Here are some simple tips that can help with pregnancy and childbirth.

1) Eating about 60 to 80 grams of dates per day for about a month before the due date has been shown to be beneficial during work. This is because dates have a chemical compound similar to oxytocin, the hormone that causes contractions. Dates have also been shown to dilate the cervix and help it go through a quick and easy delivery.


 2) DO SQUATS EVERY DAY

       Squats are the most beneficial exercise for any woman preparing to have a vaginal delivery right before the due date. Due to its role in facilitating smoother deliveries, squats are considered the best exercise for light work. 

3) GET ADEQUATE AND REGULAR SLEEP

A expectant mother should sleep at least seven hours a day for a faster and smoother work experience. The sleeping experience can be enhanced with soft, skin-friendly cushions and armchairs, making it comfortable for mother and baby.


 4) CONSIDER WATER BIRTH

       This can be an effective birthing technique as water can calm expectant mothers during childbirth. Water can also relax tense muscles and help relax the cervix, this is why most major hospitals have feeding and water baths. This is also considered a great way to help your baby move to the outside world.

5) STAND STILL WHILE WORKING
      It is better to lie flat on the bed and push, this is because gravity can be beneficial for both mother and baby as it can help the baby get to the correct position of birth, try different positions like kneeling and standing to see what works best in the process. Body movements also help widen the pelvis and help the baby's head move easily.

6) EAT HEALTHY SNACK
      If you are in the early stages of giving birth, you may feel hungry and you can eat snacks to curb hunger. Do not eat greasy or greasy foods as this will not only cause heartburn, but also interfere with delivery. You can eat fruits such as bananas or apples and other snacks such as yogurt, smoothies, ... to increase energy during work. 

7) PRACTICE BREATHING TECHNIQUES
      Delivery can be a very painful experience for any woman. Breathing helps a woman to endure pain during childbirth and also helps relax. It may also be helpful to establish rhythmic contractions and help a woman to squeeze better and more effective delivery. Breathing ensures that the body has enough oxygen and that the mother is not overwhelmed by major contractions and contractions that she experiences from contractions.

8) HAVE A GOOD SUPPORT TEAM
EVERY mother should be accompanied by her partner to provide positive support and approval for better results. It should also be noted that women during childbirth who undergo a doula (a woman trained to assist women during childbirth) are less likely to have epidural anesthesia or caesarean section. Pregnancy and delivery were problem-free and smooth. Doulas should be interviewed so that a woman knows the couple is chosen to comfort the couple in this intimate and beautiful moment.

9) DISCUSS THE BIRTH PROCESS
      It is a good idea to discuss delivery and planning with your doctor, the birth plan for you depends on a number of factors like your baby's geography, your physical condition, whether you want to take painkillers during delivery, and more, there is a chance that your plans will change during childbirth for the unexpected reasons, but you can be assured. . let's have one like that. It will also help new parents understand the birth process and ask any questions you have.

10) DISTRACT YOURSELF
     The delivery process of a new mother is a time-consuming matter that can take 12 to 15 hours to deliver, regularly breathing in and out, and trying to reach contractions during this stage can be exhausting. It is best to try something else that distracts the woman and makes the woman feel reassuring, such as bathing or listening to music, this can help speed progress and provide an easier delivery experience.

11) REQUEST A MASSAGE

It would be great if the women during childbearing get a massage, especially the lower back. It can help reduce pain sensation in the brain and help relieve pain a woman experiences during childbirth. In addition, the massage of the partner has a psychological effect, whereby a woman feels she is being cared for and supported by her partner. It can also help speed up the process greatly.

12) GO FOR A WALK
       Along with the sitting up posture, walking is a good exercise for women in the later stages of pregnancy to help give birth easily. Walking also helps push the baby toward the cervix and can help improve delivery. Studies show that walking helps to release oxytocin, which can help reduce spasms and activity. 
      This is an activity that all mothers should try later in pregnancy as it is not as difficult as squat.

13) EAT FOODS RICH IN VITAMINS
       Vitamins such as A, B, C and E are essential to maintain the hormone balance in later stages of pregnancy and also to tone the uterus for rapid delivery without little or no medical intervention.  Vitamin K is also important for expectant mothers as it helps with blood clotting and reduces the risk of postpartum bleeding, which can be fatal to the mother. Vitamins A, B, C and E should be obtained naturally through fresh fruit or a daily vitamin supplement, and vitamin K should be supplemented by eating green leafy vegetables like spinach.

14)  EXERCISE 
A healthy pregnancy is essential for an easy and smooth delivery. Prospective mothers should pay attention to the food they eat and exercise regularly to improve their birthing experience. Pregnant women need to incorporate some form of exercise into their daily life and these exercises can be walking, yoga, swimming, etc.
