Q: How can I make the labor process easier ?
Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 2
)
Have you thought about a doula?
A doula (also known as a monitrice or labor assistant) is a woman knowledgeable in the normal course of labor and birth, whose role is to support the mother and father during the labor and birth. This support can take on many forms, depending on the needs of the family.
The doula does not replace the father, but rather frees him up to simply love the mother as well as deal with the changes he himself is undergoing as a new father.
Changing Positions During Labor
Changing positions during labor is very important. Even if you are confined to the bed - moving around - changing sides you lay on - or sitting up will help to dilate and efface the cervix. Gravity will also aid in bringing the birth about quicker. If you can walk around or sit in a chair this will greatly help. If not, moving around in the bed - even if you have to use a bed-pan can help to bring about the birth quicker.
