Drug Intervention tips
Tips for a Natural Childbirth?
I am expecting my second baby in July and would like to have as natural and intervention free as possible birth this time around. I had an epidural with my son, and have no regrets, just wanting a different experience this time.
For the women who had a successful drug-free birth/s before, any tips? What worked for you? Positions for birth/labor, massage etc?
Thanks so much, can’t wait to hear your stories!
I do have a midwife this time around…hoping that helps too.
Thanks all so much, I would have chosen a “best” answer but I appreciate all the advice!
What worked for me was walking around while contracting. The pain was too much for me to bear lying down so I had to get up and walk, and lean on something at each peak of a contraction. Sometimes during a contraction I would have to get on all fours or lean on a bed. Also breathing is key. I tensed up during contractions and held my breath in and it made the pain stronger.
As for pushing I found it to be the worst part, but the good thing about it is that it doesn’t last that long and you will see your baby soon.
That’s about it. You know yourself best, so you will find your own way to deal with pain. Also you can take birthing classes as well as coaching classes for your partner, or get a midwife or a doula.
Congrats and best of luck.
