Does squatting help with normal childbirth? What should I pay attention to?

A baby is a symbol of a family, and a family with a baby will be more vibrant. But all the credit should be given to the pregnant women, that is, the baby's mother. They suffer a lot during the ten months of pregnancy. They can't eat anything casually and can't do strenuous exercise, which will cause a lot of trouble. Natural childbirth is better, but it will be a little painful during childbirth. So does squatting help with natural childbirth?

Many pregnant mothers believe that natural birth is good for the baby, costs less, and provides a quicker recovery after delivery, so they want to climb stairs and practice squatting more often in order to have a natural birth. But in fact, this has no scientific basis, because excessive exercises such as climbing stairs and squatting can easily bring dangers to pregnant mothers and fetuses. Experts say that the claim that climbing stairs and squatting can help with natural childbirth has no scientific basis. At the same time, excessive exercise may be dangerous to both mother and baby.

It is unsafe for pregnant women with big bellies to exercise by climbing stairs as they may risk falling. In addition, in order to maintain balance, the pregnant woman's body will tilt slightly, and the pressure on the lumbar spine and abdomen will increase, which will not only add burden to her own body, but also cause pressure on the fetus. What’s more serious is that climbing stairs may cause the cervix to loosen and induce premature birth. If the baby's head does not enter the pelvis, the amniotic membrane may rupture prematurely, which may easily lead to fetal stillbirth. Squatting exercises are also unsafe and can easily put pressure on the baby, so it is better to avoid doing them. Otherwise, it may easily lead to placental abruption, which will cause heavy bleeding in the adult and the baby will be in danger of life due to lack of oxygen in the uterus.

First of all, if you want to choose a good age for pregnancy, it is best to get pregnant and give birth between the ages of 24 and 28. During this period of pregnancy and childbirth, the tissues in various parts of the body are mature, and the contraction force of the uterus and the elasticity of the vagina are also very strong. During pregnancy, expectant mothers should not supplement too much nutrition. Because the size of a pregnant woman's pelvis is relatively fixed, a baby who is too well-nourished and too large (over 4,000 grams) may not be able to pass through the birth canal smoothly during delivery and can only be delivered by cesarean section. In addition, expectant mothers should have regular prenatal check-ups to help obstetricians detect problems early, correct them and treat them as soon as possible. You also need to maintain a stable mood and not be too nervous or anxious.

The above is a detailed introduction on whether squatting helps with normal childbirth. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. Natural childbirth is indeed a good way to have a baby. It saves money and does not leave scars on the belly. It also reduces the risk when having a second child. This shows that natural childbirth is indeed better.
