How to relieve painful contractions

When a pregnant woman is nearing labor, there are regular contractions. Only regular paroxysmal contractions are a sign of labor. Then, these methods can be used to relieve contractions. Contraction pain is a pain that every woman in labor must experience, and it is dozens of times stronger than menstrual pain. Therefore, when contractions occur, it is important to use methods that are suitable for you to relieve the pain and preserve your strength. When the contractions start and the pain is not yet intense, you can breathe in slowly and deeply when it hurts, and then exhale slowly with your mouth to relax. You can also use a hot water bag or hot towel to put on your back when the contractions are painful. As labor progresses, the contractions will become more frequent and the pain will become more intense. At this time, do not lie flat on the bed, but change your position, you can lie on your side, prone, or stand next to the delivery bed with your legs shoulder-width apart, gently bend over, lower your head and exhale, slightly upturn your buttocks, then lift your head and exhale slowly. This cycle can relieve the pain of contractions. When the opening of the uterus has opened three fingers, the contraction pain will be stronger, at this time, you can lie on your side on the delivery bed, raise the upper leg and do deep breathing. At the same time, communicate with other people to divert your attention. After entering the delivery room, you can also communicate with the nurses and midwives and follow their instructions to push to help smooth the delivery.
