Painless childbirth is something that many people laugh at. Our society has trained us well through movies, plays, books, etc. that childbirth is something to be feared and painful. I'm here to tell you that that simply is not true. Once you get pregnant, it is important for you to view your options. Why would you want to give birth without drugs? In case you didn't know it, many times epidurals can wear off during childbirth and then you have no way of experiencing "no pain". Why not prepare for the worse and have a plan in place on how to experience a painless childbirth? What if these painkillers wore off during giving birth? You'd have a back up plan- but even more, you'd feel in control over the situation and know that giving birth is natural and pain shouldn't be a word to even use. Pain is a word to be used if something is wrong, but childbirth is natural and women's bodies are made for childbirth. In my article below, I embark on further defining step 1 of my 7 tips to prepare for a painless childbirth after getting pregnant. Get your notepad and pen handy. Take notes. Now is the time.
Painless Childbirth: How to Make the Time for Visual Imagery Now that You are Pregnant by Bobbie Turner
Now that you are pregnant, you have given it some thought and you'd like to learn more about having a painless childbirth. This article will give you suggestions on how to make time in your schedule to do your visual imagery.
Remember, "pain" is a word that means something is wrong and when we let our bodies do what they are made to do there isn't "pain" involved in that. There may be discomfort or sensations but "pain" should not be in your vocabulary from this point on.
1. Make an appointment in your scheduler every day for your visual imagery session.
Make this a priority and DO NOT cancel this. If you do not prepare using this technique and just wait for the day your baby comes, you will not be ready. Treat this appointment as the top priority of your day. I made my time at night right before I went to bed. I strongly believe this is why I fell asleep during my surges (contractions).
2. Find a place that has a comfortable chair or sofa.
Where you sit or ly is very important. You want to make sure all your physical comforts are satisfied before you can work on your mind.
3. Make sure the room you are in has NO sound and no possibility for interruptions.
Making the place where you have your visual imagery QUIET is crucial, especially in the beginning of your mind training. Turn off your phones, tv, kitchen appliances, etc.
4. Tell your spouse, family members or anyone home that you need some quiet time and to not disturb you for 30 minutes. No exceptions.
This will also train your family members that you are serious about experiencing a painless childbirth and providing a gentle birth for your child. You'll notice that if you don't do it one day they will ask you about it. You now have accountability!
5. Make sure the temperature in the room is comfortable.
Again, take care of your physical needs first and the mind training will be easier to master.
Now that you are pregnant, painless childbirth is within your reach. Make a commitment to your baby to do everything in your power to make this happen. Remember, flexibility is part of this journey and your baby is your #1 priority. If something were to go wrong and your baby is in jeopardy then let them be born how they are choosing to be born. It is OK.
