Labor pain is the regular uterine contraction that occurs during labor and is the driving force for the smooth delivery of the fetus. However, many mothers are afraid and even mistake false labor pains that have nothing to do with childbirth, appear for a short time, have long intervals, are irregular, and are not strong in intensity, as the beginning of labor, which is a waste of effort. When Zhenli delivers the baby, you will feel Lack of energy. At the same time, shouting will cause intestinal distension, which is not conducive to the expansion of the cervix and the descent of the fetus. The correct approach should be for pregnant women to have a correct understanding of childbirth, eliminate mental stress, pay attention to rest between contractions, or read books and listen to music to relax themselves. Eat and drink regularly so that your body has sufficient energy and stamina. These not only facilitate labor but also greatly increase pain tolerance. If the pain is unbearable, you can also relieve the pain by adjusting your breathing and massage.
(1) Adjust breathing. When labor pains end, they will become more intense, severe, and more frequent. Use full chest breathing at the beginning and end of each contraction, and upper chest breathing in the middle to relax the lower abdomen as much as possible to reduce pain. The so-called upper chest breathing means opening your mouth slightly, inhaling gently through your mouth, and then blowing out gently. Use only the upper part of your lungs, like blowing out a small candle, without exerting much force. Full chest breathing means taking a deep breath in through your nose first and then slowly exhaling through your mouth.
(2) Massage. While adjusting your breathing, combined with reasonable massage, you can better relax your muscles and relieve pain. The specific method is: when inhaling, use both hands to gently massage from the lower abdomen on both sides to the center of the abdomen; when exhaling, massage from the center of the abdomen to both sides. The number of massages per minute is the same as the number of breaths. You can also gently massage uncomfortable areas such as the waist and pubic symphysis with your hands.
(3) Compression and pain relief. While taking a deep breath, use your fist to press on your lower back or pubic symphysis.
(4) Move around appropriately. If everything is normal for the mother, she can move around appropriately with the doctor\’s consent, which can also reduce pain.
