Childbirth - an extremely painful experience for most women. Although some women get off easy fright - their births are quite fast and relatively easy, for others it is a natural process turns into several hours of torture. Fortunately, unlike our grandparents, the forced without any aids conquer incredible pain, we can choose the preferred way for us to anesthesia, which completely eliminates any pain or reduce the painful relationship that allows a woman to enjoy a unique moment.

Pool for childbirth

The stay in the water at an early stage of labor can significantly reduce pain, some women have been removed in an aqueous medium pressure loin. Some mothers prefer to stay in the water until the last stages of labor, and there are those who give the child lives in the water.

In recent years, the popularity of pools for childbirth increased significantly due to the fashion for all natural - except that it is a natural method of pain relief, it is also the oldest way to the birth of a new life, because, as we know, life began in the water.

Percutaneous electroneurostimulation

Another method of drug-free pain relief in labor is a percutaneous electroneurostimulation (TENS), which has been used for many years. Device for TENS is a compact electronic device with electrodes that are connected to the lower back. As the electrodes runs very small electrical pulse which inhibits pain signals, which significantly reduces discomfort mothers. Force electrical impulses can be increased during contractions, and then decreased to the normal level when the pain subsides. The effectiveness of TENS highly individual - some women in labor, it makes little or no relief. Most clinics have their own TENS devices, but if you want such a device can be purchased for home use in stores medical equipment.

Nitrous oxide ("laughing gas")

This gas is also known as entonoks. It is a mixture of nitric oxide and oxygen, which is necessary when new mother inhales through the tube. This is a very popular and friendly method of anesthesia, which is enough for some women, especially in simple labor. The action of "laughing gas" is based on the fact that it distracts man from pain, but does not eliminate them. The main thing is that this method has no disadvantages of the two methods heavier analgesia described below.

Epidural anesthesia

Epidural anesthesia - is the introduction of the anesthetic directly into the lumbar region. This is a very effective method of pain relief in labor. The first injection carries a doctor and all subsequent (with a gradual increase of the dose) and the midwife can do. Epidurals early childbirth can prevent the new mother to move, so the generic activities woman exercising in the supine position. However, new anesthetics allow the maternity ward to move on.

Pethidine

This is the strongest method of pain relief in labor, which is used in severe cases. It can effectively relieve pain for three or four hours. Unlike the epidural pethidine not be administered continuously, when the need arise. Typically, maternity do no more than two injections, which means that this method is not suitable for anesthesia prolonged delivery that lasts longer than 8 hours. Furthermore, pethidine can penetrate into the body of the child, whereby the baby begins to breathe with a delay. However, this problem can be easily solved by using the antidote.

Although the choice of anesthesia is usually left for giving birth, most doctors and midwives recommend starting with less invasive options, such as TENS and "laughing gas," and then, if necessary, proceed to the treatment of pain medication.

A great desire to meet as soon as possible with your baby, get rid of the severity of pregnancy, and, finally, had a good sleep on my stomach would explain the impatience of women in anticipation of childbirth. Many expectant mothers have resorted to a variety of recommendations for the induction of labor, without thinking about the possible complications.

When normally occurring childbirth does not require any intervention on the part of the introduction of drugs and medical procedures. Drug induction of labor is carried out strictly on the evidence, there is a threat to the fetus or the mother's life.

What is the stimulation of natural childbirth, and what the optimal time to start it? Natural induction of labor should be conducted in order to prepare the cervix for childbirth, the formation of the dominant clan and the onset of labor at low perenashivanie pregnancy. Note that the due date set by your doctor, do not have the motivation to act (that is, you need to have in this day and no hour later), but only a landmark of the expected delivery. Date of birth can vary in either direction from the intended one to ten days. In the presence of precursors of childbirth, "mature" of the cervix can begin to natural induction of labor.

Review your diet, increase the fiber content in the diet can be at the expense of fresh vegetable salad, dressed with vegetable oil. Fibre and oil are soft enough to the intestine, causing a laxative effect. Freed actively perestaltiruet intestine, which in turn causes uterine contractions.
