Patient's question:
I heard that a natural birth is not only good for the pregnant woman but also very good for the baby. Babies born naturally are less prone to getting sick. I am now about seven and a half months pregnant and want to have a natural birth. How can I be active in the late stages of pregnancy to have a faster birth? The kind of help I care about: How can I be active in the late stages of pregnancy to have a faster birth?Doctor's answer:
In the late stages of pregnancy, with the doctor's permission, the pregnant woman can endure activity. Many prenatal exercises are not only very important for the health of the expectant mother but also give you enough strength to face the impending labor. They can also help you recover more quickly after giving birth. Squatting exercises may not look very elegant, but it is a time-honored preparation activity for labor. Squatting exercises can increase the strength of the thigh muscles and help open the pelvis quickly. (1) Stand behind a chair, with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes pointing outward, holding onto the back of the chair with both hands; (2) Tighten your abdomen, straighten your chest, relax your shoulders, and then quickly lower your tailbone toward the floor, as if sitting on the chair, finding a balance point and shifting your center of gravity as much as possible toward your heels; (3) Take a deep breath, then slowly stand up, repeating several times.
