Pregnant in October, once childbirth, for expectant mothers can be said to be nervous and excited.

How long is the first stage of labor?

The first stage of labor is often a painful process for pregnant women. Before reaching the standard of entering the delivery room, what can help you is yourself and your family. However, if you are a primipara, the waiting time outside the delivery room is relatively free without emergency delivery. If you enter the delivery room without the production pointer, there is no doctor in charge of you. You can only be put on various instruments and struggle in bed. So I suggest waiting outside the delivery room in the first stage of labor rather than entering the delivery room too early.

In the first stage of labor, there are several methods to relieve pain outside the delivery room and help shorten the labor process: breathing method, taking a long breath and then breathing out when the labor pain comes; Exercise kneeling at the bedside or on the yoga ball mentioned in my previous article, or using the back of the chair and holding my husband's neck; Of course, in the interval of labor pain, pregnant women must seize the time to rest and supplement energy, which is very important.

In the first stage of labor, if you have to enter the delivery room to wait, remember to persuade your husband to enter the delivery room with you. He can be your spiritual support, unless you are strong enough to rationally make all kinds of choices proposed by the midwife, such as whether you want to give birth in water or painless. I think water delivery is physical pain relief, no harm to the body, can choose. Of course, if you are a person who is very afraid of pain and can not enter the next stage of labor quickly, you can also choose to play painless. I believe that the current technology has minimized the side effects.
