Facilitate delivery
The onset of pregnancy and the end of pregnancy begins at the beginning of the ninth month, specifically from the 38th week until the 41st week. During this period, many women resort to a variety of natural methods to facilitate childbirth and reduce the pain associated with labor, which is equivalent to the pain of breaking approximately 24 ribs. Birth is the second largest pain after burning.
What are the methods of facilitating birth
Exercises and practices to facilitate childbirth
- Regular exercise during pregnancy, such as: yoga and walking, aiming to form a kind of pressure on the fetus and increase the stimulation of birth.
- Step up the steps in order to facilitate the baby’s head reaching the cervix and increase pressure on the cervix.
- Take a warm bath; to increase muscle relaxation and body processing for delivery.
- Massage nipples for 20 to 40 minutes per day; to promote oxytocin secretion which facilitates the process of delivery.
- Intimate exercise; semen works to widen the cervix and facilitate delivery.
- Sit in squatting position with the aim of enlarging the cervix and easing the pain of contractions.

- Kneeling on the hands and feet and moving back and forth.
- Pressure on areas that stimulate birth such as the area between the index finger and thumb.
