Alleviate the pain of childbirth

Several factors may promote the natural release of endorphins and distract from the pain.
Most women are afraid of the pain of childbirth. This is normal. But there are ways to tame. Here is an overview of natural and medical options available to you to prepare for the big day

Relaxation primarily

To many mothers, the pain of childbirth is seen as an enemy and it is amplified by the horror stories told by women in their lives. When they discover the pain of contractions, mothers generally tend to tense up. In this context, the cervix becomes tense and reluctant to stretch the muscles of the body are rigid and poorly oxygenate, which accentuates the sensation of pain. Often, because of a lack of preparation in the prenatal period, women are exhausted by the lag phase.



Instead, opening yourselves to pain, trying to relax all your muscles (facial and body) and breathing slowly and deeply, you may remain much calmer and enjoy the analgesic effects of endorphins (hormones secreted by the brain during relaxation and act as small doses of morphine).

Several factors may promote the natural release of endorphins and distract from the pain:

- A quiet birthing room with subdued lighting where parents feel in an atmosphere of intimacy;

- Soft music;

- Feel surrounded by people close, as his spouse and her doula;

- The laughter;

- The warm compresses on the belly;

- Massage the lower back, etc..
