Different exercises to prepare for labour:
You must have heard that exercising can help make labor easier. You can do plenty of exercises at home that will help prepare you for labor. Exercise can help to strengthen and prepare your body for the work it will do. In fact, it also shortens the length of labor and, as a bonus, helps reduce the pain experienced during labor.
Below are some exercises which you can do:
Hip Opening Exercises:
Child's Pose: Kneel down and sit on your heels, lean forward with your arms out in front of you. Breathe.
Deep Squat: Widen your legs while standing, and slowly squat down with your hands pressed together like "Namaste. "
Pelvic Floor Exercises:
Pelvic floor muscles support your bladder, uterus, and bowel. They also help to keep your baby in place during labor.
Squat Combo: Hold a fixed object, like a chair and stand with your feet farther than hip-width apart. Slowly lower your body, keeping your weight over heels. Breathe and repeat.
Back Stretching Exercises:
They are designed to improve posture, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the muscles that support your spine.
Child's Pose: It can also help in relieving back aches.
Cat-camel Stretches: Bend on all fours, breathe in, and at the same time, tuck your head in, arching your spine. Now, slowly lift your head, releasing your breath.
Using Gravity to Help Labour Progress:
During labor, you can use gravity to help your baby move down the birth canal. Standing up or squatting helps. Squatting exercises are especially helpful in labor as they involve strengthening and stretching muscles used during delivery. They are also thought to speed up labor because they involve better alignment of your pelvic bones and help make more room for delivery.
You can try these exercises at home but don't over-exert yourself. Indeed, it is always better to consult your doctor before starting any routine.
