What are the advantages of having a Painless childbirth to reduce labor pain?

The painless childbirth without pain medication, allows you to control your body as much as possible, be actively involved throughout the birth, and have minimal routine interventions in the birth process. If you choose this path, you will have minimal discomfort  with  labor pain to the experience of giving birth.

These are the pros:

Drug-free delivery

• Most natural painless childbirth techniques are not invasive, so there is little chance of harm or side effects for you and your baby.

• Many women feel strongly its strength during the natural childbirth and are made later. And despite having to endure the pain, many say they would opt for childbirth without medication again next time. Some women feel that the birth process control staff will help to reduce pain perception.

• No body loses sensitivity and awareness. You’ll be awake and active during the entire delivery, which you can move more freely, find positions that allow you to be more comfortable during contractions and actively assisting in the birth process, when it’s time for you to push your baby out.

• Your partner may feel very involved in the painless childbirth process, working with you to help them reduce any labor pain.

• Generally, you do not have to provide intravenous fluids or  machines to monitor your baby, so it’s easy to move. You can walk if you wish, take a shower or bath and toilet instead of the bed pan.

• You are less likely than women who receive epidural anesthesia to need Pitocin, they use a vacuum or forceps to extract the baby, or they give you a catheter into the bladder.

• You can practice breathing exercises, visualization, and self-hypnosis before labor begins and use it again during and after and labor pain discomfort. Many mothers turn to relaxation techniques taught in the painless childbirth audio program by Mark Wilkins,  in the early days of breastfeeding, while coping with the discomforts of labor pain, or care for a newborn makes them feel particularly stressed.

What are the disadvantages of not receiving medication?

Unlike the epidural, these techniques do not eliminate the pain by  drugging you up, so if you do not want to feel pain, you may prefer to use an epidural. Studies have shown that the traces of the epidural were found in the babies blood up to one year after birth. In rare occasions, natural methods may not offer adequate pain management if you have a complicated birth requiring multiple interventions. However, you may change your mind and ask that you apply an epidural at any time during the delivery.

How do I prepare for a Painless childbirth?

Once you decide you want a natural painless childbirth, you can prepare by creating a birth plan, making sure you give birth with the right doctor in the right place, making sure you have a good support during labor, and educating yourself about childbirth and techniques to cope with labor pain.

You can have an unmedicated birth in a traditional hospital, but it is probably easier to have a natural birth in a birthing center or at home. Birth centers are designed to deliver a family-centered environment and you can organize things as you would do if you were in your own home.

If you’re planning a natural birth in hospital, need to talk to your doctor about your expectations and goals, and determine what interventions are routine and how you can avoid them. Certain interventions, such as administration of intravenous fluids and constant electronic control, hinder mobility. This tends to make it more difficult – though not impossible – to meet delivery without pain medication.

Many women choose a midwife to guide them during natural  painless childbirth. Midwives are trained to help meet the demands of childbirth without medication and stay with you for it. If you choose a doctor to attend your birth,  you may give birth in a hospital and lean mainly nurses in the delivery room of the hospital.  Many doctors are now preferring  the use of painless childbirth procedures to reduce any  side effects of  anesthetics.

Some nurses are well trained in the techniques of natural childbirth, but you can not predict who will touch and nurses come and go in shifts. In this case, it is possible to hire a doula to stay with you and guide you during your labor is particularly valuable.

Painless Childbirth program  reduces  the discomfort of Labor Pain

Find a teacher of prenatal classes that focus heavily on natural childbirth, perhaps someone trained in Bradley, Mark Wilkins’s Painless Childbirth program or Lamaze method, to help you understand what to expect during labor and teach you various techniques to deal with it. Understanding what happens during each stage can allow you to appreciate the powerful performance of your body and work with him.

Whether you plan a natural birth or not, know in advance what methods you will use  to relieve pain, either naturally or with medication. This information may reduce your anxiety, which is very positive, because the tension and fear tend to increase the perception of pain. It may even help the progress of your labor, and that high levels of stress hormones may affect the ability of uterus to contract.

If you are planning to have a natural painless  childbirth, it is important to remember that no matter how well prepared and healthy you are, and even if you have confidence in yourself, it is possible that nature plays a trick. You may need medical interventions that make you difficult to manage pain naturally, or labor may be much longer or more painful than imagined. Even if you feel confident now about how you deal with the pain, it is important to be flexible and let yourself be guided by circumstances and needs that may arise during childbirth. This will help you avoid disappointment if you do not have the ideal birth  that you had imagined.

Beyond the decision to give birth without medication, there are no special rules for a natural birth, but here are some of the most common techniques for coping.

Breathing exercises and visualization

Most types of childbirth include breathing and visualization techniques. You and your partner will receive specific breathing patterns to practice, and your instructor will teach you how to use visualization (of a place that calms you, for example, or the birth easier and safer for your baby) to help eliminate the labor pain. You may also learn techniques like progressive relaxation or controlled focusing, in which release tension by focusing on a particular muscle, retracting it, and then relax until you are as relaxed as possible.

These techniques are based on relaxation and support your partner to cope with your contractions, and can work especially well if your labor is progressing as it should. If you’ve ever practiced yoga, martial arts, or meditation, similar techniques are employed with hypnosis and the painless childbirth. You might also discover that bring something special focus on what you can (a favorite photograph, for example) and listen to soothing music helps you relax.

Personal support in labor

Having someone at your side who is committed to provide you with emotional support and to help you be as comfortable as possible, can greatly reduce your anxiety and stress levels and help with the painless childbirth.

Research shows that women with professional support are less likely to require systemic medication for pain or an epidural during labor and in some cases are more likely to have a vaginal birth than normal do not have that kind of support. This may be particularly true when one of the people who will attend a specialist, such as a doula, whose sole responsibility is to give support and look after your comfort.

Position and motion

When not medicated or connected to a monitor, you can try different positions during labor, including stand up, lean on your partner, sit, kneel (either flat or leaning against your partner, who may be sitting on the edge of the bed) and get on all fours. Movement may make you feel more comfortable. Movement can make you feel more in control, and alleviate anxiety and pain. Some hospitals with high tech monitoring systems that are wireless, so even if you had complications that required a constant monitoring, you  could still move freely.

Massage, touch, and cold and heat therapy

Massage promotes relaxation, soothes tense muscles, and may reduce pain perception. You can ask your partner, your mom, or whoever is helping you during childbirth to massage you, the touch of a loved one can be very comforting if you’re anxious. You can feel better with a gentle pressure massage or you may prefer a stronger pressure massage.

If you are suffering so much back pain, which usually happens when the baby is in posterior position (ie, when your head is resting on his mom and his face looking toward the pubic bone), probably want a firm massage or you apply back pressure stable in your lower back. However, you may at times be annoyed by the massage and you should tell your support team.

Many women also feel relief if they put warm compresses or a heating pad in the lower abdomen, back, or anywhere else where you feel discomfort. Other women find cold compresses help them more, while some prefer to alternate cold and heat. It’s worth trying both. Just be sure to protect your skin from direct contact with cold or heat.
