I remember in over 6 years with my first child. If I water broke 11 days before he could not remember a thing other than "select a point on the wall" and breathe.
But there is more you can do to get the job go a little smoother. Recently I spoke with the hope of Garland, a subsidiary of Bradley instructor, www.blossombirth.net, which recommends the following tips as a surprise. Therefore, if you print out weeks or days away from labor and delivery, do not panic, simply (or favorites on your smartphone), it is so that you can refer to when working.
First Pack it in the protein: if they were about to run a marathon in length, eats only ice cubes? No, you have to eat a meal high in protein. It will work to give you energy (and, many hospitals do not eat as soon as the disk anyway). Make a plan to maintain or something in the fridge / freezer / cupboard or know where they go their food marathon.
Second Do not fight against gravity: standing as long as possible. Walking or sitting, but not lying on his back. (Yes, I'm really in the picture before I learned that you should go.)
Third Stay hydrated: pack (and use) a bottle of water. When properly hydrated during labor, increase your energy levels up to 30%. Also, if you keep drinking, you may not need to really get an IV restrict their mobility. That's when the ice chips and clear liquids may also help.
4th Breathe with the abdomen: normal abdominal breathing increases relaxation, what you really need. Chest and breathing problems, you can fool your body into stress mode, and do not want to know that
5th Take a virtual calm: you must be relaxed. Physically, mentally and emotionally. If music can take a pre-installed on your iPod playlist, find a focal point in the room and breathing. Banish negative energy whenever possible. Although they are not easy, stay as relaxed as possible through the contractions - not to mention let your body do what he has done.
6th Move during the birth: There are a variety of positions for the job. Try the position, so that there is a place for long. Talk to the nurse about how it can be controlled and still move. Wear slippers or socks for hospitals adhere well, so you can remove in the hallways.
7th Make sure the support and encouragement of love: Ask your partner's husband or partner skilled birth attendant can take to make a big difference. This support is more for you than doing lots of drugs!
