The key to reduce pains at the time of delivery is to exercise regulary. Let us see some exercises which can be done during the delivery period.
Exercise to Relax Physically and Mentally: This exercise is done by lying flat on the floor. Do the relaxation exercise in the following order:
1) Relax your forehead. Do not bring wrinkles on your forehead.
2) Jaws should be let loose.
3) Loosen your shoulders.
4) Loosen both your elbows and spread your hands away from the body.
5) Hands and fingers should be kept loose.
6) Also loosen your legs.
You can also relax faster if you ask someone to move his/her hand over your forehead, shoulders and back. Do this process in between two labour pains. Relaxing helps in proper circulation of oxygen to the body. Face must also be relaxed. Automatically your whole body will get relax.
Types of breathing exercise for relaxation:
1) Breathing in synchronisation
a) Deep breathing: Breathe deeply through your nose and fill your lungs. Release air through your mouth.
b) Normal breathing: First keep your hands on your hip. Second is you breathe slowly. Third is you release air through your mouth. This exercise should be repeated twice.
c) Breathing upto the jaws: In this process say "OUT" and put emphasize on "T". Breathing automatically takes place.
Deep breathing exercise should then be repeated.
2) Low breathing: Breathe low for two times and then blow air out. Keep doing this until the urge to push baby outside is stopped. This exercise is to be done when the cervix is closed. This exercise definitely helps in preventing swelling of the cervix. The swelling of cervix is caused due the pressure exerted by the chid's head.
3) Breathing during final push out:
a) Put two pillows beneath your head.
b) Breathe normally through nose and release air through the mouth.
c) Breathe again.
d) Now take a deep breath and hold.
e) Place your chin in such a position that it is closer to the chest.
f) This time apply full force to push your baby down. If holding breath is difficult, let is go. But again breathe deeply and hold the breath..
e) Release your breath and relax.
The above exercise should be done in your final phase of pregnancy, i.e., when you are about to deliver.
