To during childbirth did not have any complications and they were successful, it is necessary to understand the main causes of pain and ways of its reduction or complete elimination (by yourself or using professional help).

Cramped, so uncomfortable. Nine months ago all of your internal organs were conveniently located in areas of the abdomen and pelvis. Every organ was in its place. Your bones and muscles are supported and a certain familiar weight. Then came the fast-growing child, surrounded himself with the necessary things, and soon your stomach began to resemble a watermelon. Obviously as an extra passenger in a crowded Elevator, he made everything to make room. Th barely your body start to get used to such close quarters as he began to spin in all directions, making it clear that it's time to go and everyone should skip it, losing even more space.

Stress increases the pain of childbirth. It is believed that pain during childbirth primarily attributable to the stretching of the lower part of the Uterus and intense contraction of the muscles of the upper. However, the muscles of the uterus, like other muscles of internal organs (stomach, intestines).ut very few pain receptors. All those muscles can contract and relax, without causing pain, unless they are forced to perform those functions for which they are not established.

The pain during labor occurs in the tissues surrounding the uterus. This happens when the woman is tense and scared. The pressure from the shrinking of the uterus spreads to the abdomen, pelvis and lower back. All these areas are just riddled with pain receptors. There is a direct correlation between pain and the number of tense muscles.

Review instructor school birth. As the pain and muscle tension related, I explain to the women in the classroom in my classroom: "During labor relax all the abdominal muscles. Do not try to pull the belly in. Let it be so great if you're on the eleventh month of pregnancy".

Fatigue increases the pain during childbirth. If stretched muscles get tired, they start to hurt. According to one theory, the muscles of the uterus are sick because in the result of the hard work they are worse supplied with oxygen. This is especially true if the woman is tense and the uterus has to deal with strained muscles. Angina as a result of insufficient oxygen supply to the heart starts to hurt the heart muscle. The same thing happens with the uterus. To avoid oxygen starvation of the muscles, you must relax them, give them a break. Do not force your child to rest against a "brick wall" of the uterus!

Review instructor school birth. When I gave birth to my fifth child, I learned to completely relax the abdominal muscles during contractions. The sensations were absolutely others, than in the previous births. Before I tried to suck in her stomach that had brought me pain and suffering. This time I was able to significantly reduce pain because kept telling myself that I have nothing to fear. After several such exercises (self-hypnosis and relaxation) I learned to constantly be in a relaxed state, and the pain receded completely.

Sick tired and tense muscles. And here's why. Biological systems, Especially the muscles, require an optimal physiological environment. If the composition of the medium changes, they react to it, is sent to the brain pain signals. When the muscle is tired, its biochemical environment is out of balance. When a muscle is strained, its electrical conductivity increases. Physiological changes reduce the threshold of pain sensitivity of the muscle. This is true for all groups of muscles surrounding the uterus, and to some extent, for the uterus itself.

Large child. Strong, in some cases unbearable, the pain occurs in those cases when the child is too large, while the mother's pelvis is narrow and Niemcy. If the child is correct, i.e., is not upside down, and across the abdomen, and the mother non-physiological posture, lying on his back, instead of is in a vertical position, then again there are a lot of pain.

The presence of pain is a biological alarm that indicates that something goes wrong in a number of actions that you need to make adjustments. For example, for the complete disappearance or blunting the pain of the mother, it is only necessary to change the posture. However, in most cases, in order to understand what's going wrong, would require obstetric intervention.
