Patient's question:
In more than ten days, I will be at my due date, but I'm very scared. I want to have a natural birth, but I want to ask the doctor if it's very painful when giving birth naturally? I'm a first-time mother.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Pain caused by uterine contractions will persist throughout the entire labor process. Contractions primarily cause pain in the lower abdomen, but sometimes they can also occur on the inner thighs or along the spine. Most women describe contractions as similar to menstrual cramps, just more intense. As the baby approaches delivery, the stretching of the perineum and vulva can cause a burning sensation and intense pain in these areas. Finding a comfortable position and practicing deep breathing in a relaxed state can help alleviate labor pain.Advice:
Be mentally prepared for the pain of labor. Labor is a natural physiological process, and labor pain is a physiological type of pain that most people can endure. The issue of lochia postpartum varies depending on each woman's physical constitution.
