Massage during labor


Massage during laborModern medicine has a significant Arsenal of drugs that help to reduce the pain of the woman during labour. In our country every woman has the right to labor pain relief. Of course, there are times when medical anesthesia is necessary. However, it should be remembered that absolutely harmless to mother and baby medicine does not exist.


Any drug acts on the whole body, and, in addition, causes the so-called side effects, and sometimes and complications. Therefore, any medical intervention during childbirth should be caused not by whim but by strict necessity. This need arises, for example, at different deviations from the physiological childbirth or pathologically low pain threshold pregnant woman.




Generic pain is often identical to the experience of most women in the "critical" days: the same "whining" in the lower abdomen, the same ache in the lumbar region. As intensify the contractions intensify and soreness, however, the nature of the pain is not changed.




At any moment of delivery, there is no sharp, unbearable pain. Sensations during contractions is best described as nagging, aching. Moreover, each battle develops in waves. With the beginning of the pregnant woman is experiencing minimal discomfort, as the bout feelings gradually increase, and then just gradually be reduced.




In the second stage of labor during the fight instead of pain a woman experiences a strong urge to push, caused by the pressure head of the baby to the wall of the rectum. And in that moment, when the baby is born, the tissue of the perineum is stretched so that they completely lost sensitivity: i.e. pain at the moment of birth the child's mother does not feel.




And most importantly - in delivery is a constant pain! And contractions, and attempts are interleaved with intervals during which a woman does not feel anything, except, perhaps, accumulated fatigue!




In order to feel good during normal, nothing complicated delivery, the expectant mother should study the techniques of self-anaesthesia. These methods are simple to perform and does not require special training. We are talking about massage.





Massage waist zone


If we assume the possibility of the popularity of massage points used during labour, then the first place, of course, belonged to the rump. This area is located slightly below the waist and is a projection of the same name - sacral spine. It is in this Department is located in the sacral nerve plexus is a powerful nervous node responsible for the innervation of the pelvic organs.




Such bodies include, among others, and uterus. Stimulating the sacrum at the time of the fight, we would block the transmission of pain impulse. The impact on this area can be done in various ways, but in any case the strength of the stimulation of the sacrum should be significant. This can be pressing movements produced one or two hands, simultaneously or alternately.




Itself the stimulation can be performed by the fingertips, knuckles, palms, fist base. The area of impact may be limited only by the scope of the sacrum or distributed much more widely - depending on which option impact delivers maximum relief to the mother. To the skin in the affected area does not result in irritation, you can pre-applying a cream or massage oil.





Red herring


This method is essentially a transfer source of the pain. Remember how we three whiskey headache, creating an artificial source of discomfort and distraction from the real. At birth we assign the role of "the imaginary invalid" two lovely bones, which are called the ileum. These are the bones of the pelvis, which before pregnancy went in the bottom of a stomach when you lay down on your back.




Encourage them to be done at the time of the fight, at the same time on both sides, using the same power and the same techniques as in the friction temporal region. You can affect the entire lower abdomen. In this case, it is necessary to make simultaneous stroking movements with the palms on both sides, guiding them from the seed to the crotch and back.





Iron


So the next option is called analgesic massage, apply which is most convenient in position lying on its side. Place the palm on the inside of the thigh. During contractions squeeze his hand to the skin of the thigh and drive it without interruption, as iron, from the groin to the knee and back. Such exposure and obezbolit, and make maximum relax.




The main thing - do not wait for pain and not be afraid of her. Remember that birth is a physiological process, and nature made us this test, care and assistance in it. To summarize:




Massage sacral area is the most effective method of pain of contractions.


- Stimulation of the iliac bones - effective red herring.


- Massage the inner thigh provides pain relief and relaxation.


- Between contractions needed relaxation and rest.
