ARTICLE BY CHIQUI: The Right Way to Push the Baby Out

Pushing is one of the hardest work a woman will ever do in her life. It's like pooping your biggest poop ever, except that it is coming out of your private part. When you think about it, it's funny how this still needs to be taught. Shouldn't this be instinct like how dogs and cats do it? There are tow ways to push. One is spontaneously and the other is directed. Women need to know what is happening to their body at this point and what to do to speed baby's descent. Position is important, squatting ofcourse is the best position. Proper breathing, concentration and using the right muscles are essential as well. You only push during a contraction. One can actually shorten this stage by 15 or even 30 minutes if done properly. After giving birth to babies of my own, I appreciate my mother more and all the other women who have given birth before me. Aren't women amazing!

Breathing in Labor

How important is it? I have yet to hear a mother tell me that breathing in labor was not helpful. I guess that's why childbirth preparation classes have been associated with breathing techniques. Although breathing is taught to cope up with the labor pain, it is also taught to give contenious flow of oxygen to their baby and ofcourse to distruct them from the pain brought about by the contractions. The breathing taught is only used during contractions and only when necessary other wise it would be too tiring for the mom. The breathing patterns are suppose to provide her a measure of "control" instead of screaming. Although mind you, others deal with their labor better while moaning and groaning, and yes, even screaming. That too should be accepted and considered normal. The only draw back is that it could be tiring. Most couples that attend a childbirth preparation class demand to be taught some sort of breathing method. Just as a simple reminder to all my preggy moms, remember that breathing should enhance relaxation and not interfere with it. To all my students who will yet give birth, may you have a memorable birthing experience, one that you desired.
