How to choose labor breathing pain relief method during childbirth

Pregnant mothers are the greatest, but when they endure severe pain to give birth to their children, the process is extremely difficult. So how can we make this originally difficult process easier? How can we choose labor breathing pain relief during childbirth to reduce the pain during childbirth and make this childbirth journey less painful and more joyful?

1. In the early stage of the first stage of labor, also known as the latent period (the cervix is ​​dilated 2 to 3 cm), the uterine contractions are mild, each lasting 30 to 50 seconds, with an interval of 5 to 6 minutes.

Pregnant mothers can focus their eyes on a fixed place, inhale through the nostrils, exhale through the mouth, and try to relax their abdomen. Breathing is steady, 6 to 9 times per minute, with a balanced inhalation and exhalation process.

The mantra is: "Inhale two, three, four, exhale two, three, four."

2. Then the cervix dilates rapidly, and during the active phase of the first stage of labor, the cervix dilates 4 to 8 centimeters. At this time, the uterine contractions are the tightest and strongest during the labor process, and it is also a relatively unbearable period. The uterus contracts every 2 to 4 minutes and lasts for 60 seconds.

At this time, pregnant mothers should try their best to relax, fix their eyes on a certain point, and adopt the principle of breathing in through the nose and exhaling through the mouth, speeding up their breathing as the contractions increase, and conversely slowing down their breathing as the contractions slow down.

The mantra is: "Inhale two, three, four, exhale two, three, four; inhale two, three, exhale two, three; inhale two, exhale two; inhale and exhale, inhale and exhale, inhale and exhale; inhale two, exhale two; inhale two, three, exhale two, three; inhale two, three, four, exhale two, three, four".

3. When the cervix is ​​almost fully dilated, uterine contractions become frequent, with intervals of 30 to 90 seconds and lasting 60 to 90 seconds. The cervix quickly dilated from 8 cm to 10 cm.

At this time, the pregnant mother should maintain a relatively high breathing position, which occurs in the throat, and inhale and exhale with the mouth slightly open (making a "hehehe" sound). Pay attention to the balance of inhalation and exhalation to avoid hyperventilation. When each contraction comes, take 4 to 6 quick breaths in and out and then exhale more quickly.

The mantra is: "Inhale, inhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, inhale, inhale, exhale".

4. During the second stage of labor, pregnant mothers need to cooperate better. If they cooperate well, the baby will be delivered faster. Therefore, you must push during contractions, and rest and relax completely when the contractions stop.

When contractions occur, take a deep breath, hold your breath, and push downward with force. The head can be lifted up to look towards the navel, with the lower jaw retracted forward. Hold your breath for as long as possible, for 20 to 30 seconds. Immediately after exhaling, take a deep breath, and then hold your breath until the contraction ends.

5. When the cervix is ​​almost fully dilated and the fetal presenting part reaches the pelvic floor, the pregnant mother will have an unconscious feeling of pushing downwards. In order to avoid cervical edema caused by premature force and affecting the progress of labor, the "blow air" exercise can be used at this time. It can also be used during the delivery of the fetal head to avoid excessive force causing perineal laceration. The midwife will also let the pregnant mother "blow air".

The above is an introduction on how to choose the labor breathing pain relief method during childbirth. If you have any questions, you can go to the relevant hospital to consult a professional doctor. Of course, these methods are only theoretical, and different people will have different approaches and results when faced with them. In short, mothers, please eliminate your tension and face it bravely.
