Tips for Easy Labor

Cailyn

Share some tips here so delivery will be easier! We all know that we should start as early as the first trimester preparing for the big day. Apart from that, just share any tips you have done or been told to do before and during labor

Eat moderately, i.e. don't gain weight too much! It does affect pregnancy. And of course, this should be done all throughout the pregnancy.

So I guess it would really help if there's some exercise involved...

Abigail

Yep... I guess exercises have already been mentioned in another thread. Anyway... walking is great... it doesn't have to be brisk. Yoga (breathing exercises) also helps for proper breathing during labor.

Cailyn

Of course of course! Nothing brisk! Extra care is always a given and not to forget, no stress!

Gaetana

Nothing is a surety to having an easy labor. Most moms go through this while a few don't. But the above ways could at least lessen the pain for sure.

Halia

Talk to your practitioner, know what to prepare for and read books on how to relax and deal with proper breathing and positioning when in labour. Lucky for some that don't have painful contractions but we'll never know, just expect the worse and prepare for it.

Abana

Get up and exercise. Move around. Being in a tip-top shape while pregnant will make a labor easier and less painful, although not a guarantee.

Dalinda

Be active while pregnant and most importantly move around more DURING labor.

Anybody heard of cervix ripening capsules? It helped me...
