What is the pain level of childbirth?

Giving birth is a relatively normal thing for women, but many women are often very nervous as the due date gets closer after they become pregnant, because we all know that giving birth is painful, but many people always think that the pain level of giving birth is very serious, so they always have a fear of giving birth. In fact, giving birth is also a relatively natural thing. Let's take a look at the pain level of giving birth.

What is the pain level of childbirth?

The first is the lack of scientific understanding of the process of childbirth. In the late stages of pregnancy, women's estrogen levels increase and progesterone levels decrease. Estrogen can increase the sensitivity of uterine muscles to oxytocin and other substances that stimulate uterine contractions. Combined with the increase in local intrauterine pressure, it prompts the uterus to produce strong contractions.

The second is caused by fear and pain sensitivity. The fear of mothers is also due to their lack of understanding of the childbirth process. They only believe that childbirth is very painful, even unbearable, based on hearsay, and thus become extremely afraid of childbirth. Some mothers are usually very sensitive to pain, and they believe the exaggerated descriptions of experienced mothers, and imagine how painful childbirth will be. This is bound to cause great psychological pressure. And this mentality will definitely aggravate the pain during childbirth.

In fact, childbirth is just a physiological process. When a pregnant woman is about to give birth, the number of nerve sensory fibers in her body that control the uterus is very small, and generally no strong pain is produced. Objectively speaking, childbirth is painful because certain tissues and organs adjacent to the uterus are involved during the process, causing local pain. Manual laborers usually have a lot of activity, so their childbirth is smoother and the pain is reduced accordingly. People who do mental work or pregnant women who are less active often experience aggravated pain due to extreme tension and fear.

From this it can be seen that the pain of childbirth varies from person to person.

The above is an introduction to the pain levels of childbirth. I hope that after understanding it, it will be of some help to many female friends. In addition, female friends must treat the matter of childbirth with a normal mind. After all, childbirth is a relatively natural thing and after the birth of the child, female friends can better feel the happiness of being a mother. Don’t choose cesarean section because of fear of pain.
