Q: How can I make the labor process easier?
Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 3
)
vocalize
Many women find it helpful to vocalize during labor. A deep, gutteral, almost animalistic sound is what you are after. (Shrill sounds involve a closing of the throat and an accompanying tightening of the vagina. They also do not reduce pain like the deeper sounds.)
Do not be dissuaded by the cultural bias our society has against such vocalization by women. Imagine a man involved in doing heavy physical labor or participating in a vigorous sporting event...we expect to hear him grunt and otherwise vocalize. You are doing every bit as much work as him!
Stay upright
Take advantage of the effects of gravity! Stay in an upright position as much as possible during labor. Standing, walking, squatting, kneeling, sitting in an upright chair or tailor-style on the floor are some good examples.
Keep you bladder emptied
Remember to empty your bladder every hour (more often if you feel the need) during labor. A full bladder makes contractions more painful!
