Late pregnancy delivery exercises

Female friends naturally hope that they can eventually give birth naturally, so that they will be prepared for natural birth in the late pregnancy. Therefore, they can do some appropriate exercises, such as natural birth exercises. This kind of exercise will not have a greater impact on your body because the exercise is not so large. However, the exercise time should be based on your physical ability and should not be excessive.

Stand on your hands and knees with your head and torso level. Squeeze your abdomen in and hold the position for a few seconds while gently rocking your back. Then relax your abdomen and back, lower your back, try to keep your back level, and repeat the above movements. This strengthens the lower back muscles and helps relieve back pain during labor.

Expectant mothers can also perform similar movements against a wall: stand upright close to the wall, and try to get the area below the waist and above the hips close to the wall.

Wall Slide:

Stand with your back against a wall, feet shoulder-width apart, and slowly slide down the wall until you are in a sitting position. Hold this seated position for a few seconds, then slide up to standing. Repeat this action 10 times. This action helps open the pelvic opening to give the fetus more room to enter the birth canal.

To reduce the pressure on your knees, you can put a small ball on your back to reduce the resistance during sliding. You can also do this without leaning against a wall, still keeping your back straight and your feet shoulder-width apart.

Sitting cross-legged with feet facing each other:

Keep your back straight, put your feet together, pull your heels inward, and slowly lower your knees. This can stretch the thigh and pelvic muscles, while improving the posture during delivery, maintaining pelvic flexibility, and enhancing blood circulation in the lower body.

If this pose is difficult to achieve, you can lean against a wall to support your back, or place a cushion under your thighs, but remember to keep your back straight.

Productivity

The most important factor in labor force is the contraction force of the uterine muscles, which can force the fetus and placenta out of the uterus. Normal uterine contractions have a certain rhythm and gradually increase as delivery approaches. Whether the uterine contractions are too weak or too strong, they may cause dystocia.

Birth canal

The birth canal refers to the "passage" during the baby's delivery. It is mainly determined by the size and shape of the pregnant woman's pelvis. Of course, the pregnant woman's soft birth canal is also very important. Any abnormality in either of them will cause dystocia. Therefore, it is important to do prenatal check-ups during pregnancy so that doctors can detect problems in time and choose the correct method of delivery. If any problems with the birth canal are found during the prenatal examination, the patient must be admitted to the hospital in advance and undergo a cesarean section at an appropriate time.

Fetal condition

The fetus's own condition during labor is also important. If the baby's position in the pregnant woman's uterus is abnormal, such as breech position, transverse position, etc., or the baby grows too large in the uterus, or there are malformations such as conjoined fetuses , these situations will affect the normal delivery process and cause dystocia. Therefore, it must be discovered early and dealt with in time.

Maternal psychology

If a pregnant woman is not mentally prepared for the "challenges" she will face during childbirth, or is overly afraid of the childbirth process and cannot cooperate well with the doctor, it may also cause difficult labor.

Therefore, these four points are very important in childbirth. In order to avoid dystocia, we must provide prevention.
