How long does it take for labor pains to occur every 15 minutes
Only contractions accompanied by pain are a precursor to childbirth. When real contractions begin, the pain usually appears in the abdomen of expectant mothers, and some people may feel it in the waist. The duration of contractions after labor is 30 seconds or more, with intervals of 5-6 minutes.
What position can relieve the labor pains of pregnant women?
1. To prevent cramps, expectant mothers can place their knees on a pillow during the interval between labor pains to prevent leg cramps. Additionally, placing a pillow under their back will be more comfortable. When feeling drowsy, it's worth taking a break to conserve energy. If leg cramps occur, you can use the breathing technique to exhale and press the thigh root firmly with your thumb.
2. Relax in a timely manner during the interval of labor pains. Expectant mothers can rest comfortably on the chair cushion for a while or spread their arms and knees shoulder width apart and place them on the floor in a relaxed position. However, it should be noted that. Avoid sitting backwards, as this position can put weight on the coccyx and limit pelvic expansion, which may result in a difficult delivery.
During childbirth, expectant mothers may experience a lot of discomfort. To alleviate this discomfort, we can have some posture adjustments. The previous article also mentioned relevant postures, which both expectant mothers and expectant fathers can understand and learn about. Expectant mothers really work hard during pregnancy, and I hope every expectant mother can give birth to a healthy baby.
