1. breathe. During childbirth, the lying-in woman should adjust her breathing with pain, so as to relax her body, relieve pain and fatigue, which is beneficial to childbirth. Pregnant women can dispel anxiety and fear in the process of adjusting breathing, and concentrate on giving birth actively. How to adjust breathing during childbirth? The following exercises should be done before delivery.
(1) Deep breathing exercises. Lie on your back, bend your knees, inhale quietly through your nose, let the air fill your lungs, and then spit it out slowly from your mouth.
(2) Breathing exercises at the beginning of the first stage of labor. At the beginning of labor pains, take a deep breath, relax tense muscles and exhale at the same time, and repeatedly take rhythmic and slow deep breaths during labor pains.
(3) shallow chest breathing. Lie on your back, bend your knees, expand your chest, inhale, keep your abdomen still, relax your lips, open your mouth slightly, and exhale just like inhaling. The exercise starts 15 seconds. Practice for 30 seconds after getting used to it.
(4) During the first stage of labor, the pain gradually increased. Take a deep breath and relax your muscles at the beginning of labor pains. With the aggravation of labor pains, slow and deep breathing turns into shallow and rapid breathing. Breathing is shallowest at the peak of labor pains, and gradually returns to gentle and deep breathing.
(5) Breathing at the end of the first stage of labor. Before the pain disappears, the parturient should open her mouth and exhale gently, as if panting, and don't exert any pressure on her abdomen. At the beginning of labor pains, take a deep breath, take a deep breath with your mouth closed, stop breathing, and apply abdominal pressure (don't add abdominal pressure when practicing a few weeks before delivery, just do breathing exercises). If you can't take a deep breath, breathe in quickly, relax and don't be nervous. Exhale when the pain stops, take a deep breath and relax your body.
(6) Breathing in the second stage of labor (delivery). When the fetal head is delivered, the abdominal and thigh muscles relax and breathe like gasps, and when the exertion stops, the breathing is short.
Step 2 relax. Relaxation can relax the muscles and joints of the maternal body, and this posture can be used to rest between pains.
The relaxed posture is lateral position, with the upper arm in front, the forearm extended back, the thigh bent forward and the calf slightly flexed. No matter which side is facing down, as long as you feel comfortable, or change directions frequently.
3. Auxiliary actions during childbirth. In addition to the above, the auxiliary actions during childbirth include massage and pressing.
(1) massage. Put your hands lightly on your lower abdomen, inhale slowly and deeply and massage your ribs with your palm, then exhale and restore your hands. The palm can be massaged back and forth in a straight line, and then you can do a circular massage. Lie on your back and bend your knees during massage.
(2) oppression. Lie on your back, bend your knees, press your fist under your waist, then put your hands on both sides of your pelvis and ilium, with your thumb inward and the other four pointing outward. Relax when exhaling, and increase the pressure when exhaling. Use compression when the waist is sore.
