Movement can ease discomfort in labor from "summary" of HypnoBirthing by Marie Mongan
When a woman is in labor, it is common for her to experience discomfort due to the intense sensations and pressure in her body. One effective way to alleviate this discomfort is through movement. By encouraging the mother to move freely during labor, she is able to find positions that are most comfortable for her and allow her body to work efficiently. Movement can help to shift the baby into a more optimal position for birth, making labor progress more smoothly. Walking, swaying, rocking, and changing positions frequently can all help to relieve tension and pressure, allowing the laboring woman to stay relaxed and focused. In addition to physical benefits, movement also has a psychological impact on the laboring woman. It gives her a sense of control and empowerment, which can help to reduce fear and anxiety. By moving her body, she is actively participating in the birthing process and connecting with her baby in a more intuitive way. It is important for birth partners and caregivers to support and encourage movement during labor, as it can be a powerful tool for easing discomfort and promoting a positive birthing experience. By allowing the laboring woman to follow her body's natural instincts and find positions that feel right to her, she is better able to cope with the intensity of labor and birth. Movement is a simple yet effective way to enhance the birthing process and help the mother feel more comfortable and in control.
