Can yoga balls be used for midwifery? Yoga is a very popular fitness exercise recently, which can not only shape a perfect figure, but also some yoga instruments can be used as medical AIDS. It is said that yoga ball is good for pregnant women to have children. Let's see if yoga balls can assist delivery.

Can yoga ball help delivery 1 Can yoga ball help delivery?

Sitting on a yoga ball in the third trimester can open the pelvis, help delivery and reduce the labor process. In fact, practicing yoga for pregnant women is of great benefit to pregnancy and childbirth.

Pregnant women practicing yoga can enhance physical strength and muscle tension, enhance the sense of balance of the body, and improve the flexibility and flexibility of the whole muscle tissue. At the same time, it stimulates the glands that control hormone secretion, increases blood circulation, accelerates blood circulation, and can also control breathing well. Yoga can also massage the internal organs. In addition, practicing yoga in the abdomen helps to reshape the body after delivery. Yoga is good for improving sleep, eliminating insomnia and making people healthy and comfortable. Form a positive and healthy attitude towards life. Yoga also helps people to adjust themselves and integrate body and mind.

However, it should be noted that yoga is not the only way to make pregnancy and childbirth safer and smoother. Yoga only helps pregnant women to exercise properly throughout pregnancy. "Delivery" consumes a lot of physical strength, so it is normal for most pregnant women to feel scared and uneasy before delivery. Practicing yoga can make this process easy and help pregnant women keep a peaceful mind before giving birth.

Actions that pregnant women often do when practicing yoga

1, "Squat" action to train the pelvic floor muscles of pregnant women. You can spread your legs shoulder-width or slightly wider, with your toes facing outwards (so that you can squat down), and then slowly squat down. Another action is: spread your feet a little and squat completely. Then put your hands on the inside of your knees, put your hands together on your chest and push your arms out. However, after 36 weeks, the abdomen is overweight, or after 32 weeks, the fetal position is still not correct, so it is not suitable for people suffering from hemorrhoids to do full squat. They can sit on mats or yoga bricks and do exercises.

2, practice more yin, imagine the feeling of a little urine tolerance (but don't really hold your urine ~), which can prevent postpartum urine leakage and relieve perineal tear during childbirth.

3. Pelvic tilting action. The easiest way is to stand, stick the whole body on the wall, and turn the tailbone forward as far as possible, that is, try to spread the originally suspended lower back slowly on the wall. This can relieve the low back pain of pregnant women.

4. Stand against the wall. I especially like one-legged balancing action, and I can hold the wall with one hand or one foot.

5. Chest enlargement is the best way to breathe. Bellows breathing (rapid exhalation) is not suitable. Breathing through the left and right nostrils is very good, which can purify the nervous system and help to concentrate on meditation. Purifying breathing, inhaling deeply from the nose and exhaling deeply from the mouth can relieve physical and mental fatigue and stress. This kind of breathing is also very good, and can also be used in labor pains.

6, afraid of cramps in the middle of the night, you can do calf stretching before going to bed, and usually add more calcium.

It is best for postpartum women to gradually resume yoga practice after 6 weeks and the lochia is completely over. The only action that can be done immediately after delivery is to close the yin. Don't do sit-ups too early. When doing it, protect your abdomen with your hands to prevent the rectus abdominis from cracking. Mothers who have caesarean section need more time to recover. Remember to massage the wound frequently to help them recover.

This new delivery method can improve women's breathing, hone the ligaments of pelvic muscles, make women more powerful, make their bodies more elastic, bear the great challenges brought by delivery, and prepare their bodies for pregnancy. When the delivery begins, the female body will have enough endurance, toughness and elasticity, and the delivery will become very smooth.

The benefits of yoga ball for pregnant women

1. Pregnant women sit on the yoga ball, and the yoga ball vibrates up and down, which can exercise the pelvic floor muscles and increase their elasticity, which is of great benefit to the productivity during production.

2. Because pregnant women are not as stable as chairs when sitting on yoga balls, pelvic floor muscles and anal sphincter are a little nervous, which can help pregnant women exercise the strength of anal sphincter and prevent hemorrhoids.

3. Yoga ball is made of soft PVC material. When the human body comes into contact with it, the yoga ball inflated inside will contact the contact part of the human body evenly, thus generating massage effect, which is beneficial to promoting blood circulation.

4. The pregnant mother has been sitting on the yoga ball for a long time, and there are more actions that can be done on the yoga ball. Naturally, she can improve her endurance, muscle strength, flexibility and balance of her spine by sitting on a yoga ball.

1. Pay attention to measuring pulse during exercise. The exercise intensity of pregnant women should be controlled within 150 pulses per minute.

2. Consult your doctor before exercise to find out what kind of exercise you are suitable for.

3. Exercise in supine posture should be avoided if you are pregnant for more than 4 months, because the weight of the fetus will affect the blood circulation of pregnant women.

4. Drink enough water before and during exercise, and take more rest during exercise.

Wear loose clothes when exercising, and don't move in an environment that is too hot or too humid.
