How to Prepare for Childbirth

Physical Preparation for Childbirth

Your body has already done so much: You are pregnant, the baby is well cared for, it grows and develops in your stomach. Your breasts have been preparing for breastfeeding for several weeks, and back pain, heaviness in your legs, or frequent urination are signs that your body is working at its limits. These are some of the signs that your body is ready for childbirth and is preparing for it without your participation. However, you can actively prepare for childbirth physically.

Choosing a Hospital Before Childbirth

Before choosing a hospital, it is worth making a list of institutions that meet your expectations and visiting them in person. Hospitals vary in standards, room equipment, approach to childbirth, etc. Talking to midwives and recent women will give you a general idea of what the arrival of your child might look like in this particular place. In larger clinics, women can choose whether they want to give birth in a large delivery room with other mothers or have their own private room. Choosing a separate place entails additional costs, but provides much more comfort, so it is worth considering this option.

Exercises Before Childbirth

Pelvic floor exercises help to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. During pregnancy and childbirth, these muscles are under a lot of stress. The pelvic floor consists of layers of muscles that stretch like a hammock from the pubic bone (in front) to the lower back. If the pelvic floor muscles are weak, urine leakage can occur with coughing, sneezing, or straining. This is called stress urinary incontinence and can persist after pregnancy.

Training the pelvic floor muscles will help your body cope with the growing weight of your baby. Healthy, toned muscles before giving birth are easier to recover after childbirth and help reduce or prevent stress urinary incontinence after pregnancy. All pregnant women should perform pelvic floor exercises, even if you are young and do not suffer from stress urinary incontinence.

How to Prepare Morally for Childbirth?

Many experts believe that the successful course of childbirth largely depends on the woman's positive attitude and her knowledge of childbirth. Knowing what to expect reduces anxiety and makes a woman more receptive to physical pain. Coolheadedness, calmness, and a cool head also have a positive effect on the child who has just been born.

Prenatal classes are the best tool to learn how to control your body and emotions during childbirth.

In order for a pregnant woman to overcome her fears and feel capable of childbirth, it is important that a healthcare worker be present next to her who will explain what happens after the onset of childbirth, how to act next, and what a pregnant woman can do in this situation.
