The preparation to the childbirth

-

In recent years, the issue of childbirth preparation has evolved. Currently, in addition to group classes for pregnant women, other disciplines have been incorporating preparatory exercises for them such as yoga or swimming.

When it comes to childbirth it is extremely important that the woman has an excellent breath because this way the baby will have a good oxygenation and will be born without problems.

Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article.

Advantage

Some of the main advantages of this type of pre-delivery is the learning of relaxation and breathing techniques that at the moment of giving birth can help to alleviate the pain in some way.

In addition, some of these workshops teach mothers useful advice for raising the baby and in the case that the father also attends, it can favor the couple's affective bonds and the father's future participation in the upbringing.

Another of the main advantages is the relationship of pregnant women with other women or couples of first-time parents who can share with them their experiences that help to find themselves in the same situation.

Preparation exercises to childbirth

Instruction methods at childbirth

Pregnant women usually consider attending this type of courses from the seventh month of pregnancy.

The pre-delivery preparation also aims that the mother is aware of the development of your baby, can help you to establish a plan for that moment, mentalize it to her and her partner in childbirth if there is and even relieve the pain of it always by breathing and relaxation techniques.

In the USA, for example, there are different philosophies when it comes to the mentalization of the moment of giving birth:



Lamaze method

This method considers that the birth is normal, natural and healthy and that every woman has the right to choose to have her birth without medical interventions.

The program is based on giving women all the information to feel safe and so they can decide on the use or not of drugs to relieve pain and other medical interventions.

It focuses especially on relaxation and the mother's response to pain through massage and breathing.



Bradley Method

It is used in natural births, not medicalized, which is based mainly on physical exercise and good nutrition of the pregnant woman.



Aguirre de Cárcer method

As its creator states, in labor many factors play but a fundamental one is the personality of the woman.

In his method a form of breathing that is abdominal and deep is taught, it is called synchronous breathing. This method does not take any position on the medication to calm the pain.

Other techniques

In addition, there are other techniques such as prenatal singing that pretends that the mother communicates with her baby through singing, the sophrology that consists in the visualization of the baby in the maternal womb or the haptonomy that seeks contact through the touch of the parents with the baby.

The type of class or philosophy of the same that each woman will choose will be based on their beliefs and personality. It is important to be advised also by a specialist or by acquaintances who have already experienced that experience.

Among the different options we must assess the theoretical knowledge that can be provided as well as the practical ones. Practitioners are quite useful in terms of pain relief because they prepare you for uterine contractions, relieve the typical discomfort of pregnant women and help to recognize the symptoms prior to giving birth.

At present, there are many women who decide not to attend this type of courses and others choose the option of purchasing a didactic DVD for example.

In some of these courses importance is also given to post-partum preparation as they attend to topics such as breastfeeding, returning home, taking care of the baby such as changing a diaper or bathing etc.

The organization of these preparatory days is usually carried out by educational organizations such as in some cases the university or the same hospital or ambulatory centers.
