Birth Pains

How to deal with labor pains?


pregnancy week by week

How tim
e flies so fast..
Now, I am in the 3rd trimester..
7 weeks to go.. yeay!!

But..with the *yeay* sound..the nervous is still there..


Some people said that..

"Why are u still nervous? Dont you already have 2 children?"

Yes..That's true..But I'm still having that bad memories or 'fobia' when delivering my baby.

To overcome that fobia situation,.I did a lot of research about the techniques to ease the labor pains such as reading articles,watching videos,asks from friends experiences and many more.. Now..I feel like 'lega'..but still I need you bloggers to share with me your comfort techniques during labor.

'Kaum bapa pun boleh jugak sama-sama share pengalaman anda dalam membantu isteri semasa proses bersalin'..



From my research I found that there are few ways for women to ease their 'contraction' such as:




Different positions -squarting,walking,leaning,sitting,etc
Massage -at the back,feet,belly,hands, etc
Hydrotheraphy -get into a bathtub,jakuzzi,take a shower,etc
Birth Ball -bouncing,rocking,etc
Support -husband,people who you trust,etc
Relaxation -relex yr muscles,let the air goes to the pain muscles
Vocalization -moaning,etc..to release tension
Breathing -deep breathing,fast breathing,etc
Visualization -visualize yrself at some great vacation spot,
thinking of yr baby face,etc..
Doa - always..

aiyakkk...yang nih I mmg fail...memang tak tahan sakit bersalin langsung.....terpaling sakit lah...mmg terror lah sapa yg boleh tahan....

Well...all those techniques can help, yes...And I respect lah sapa yang memang boleh tahan coz I ambik epidural je. I was comfortable, pain free and I got lots of energy to push when the time comes. Cuma lambat sikit lah you nak bersihkan diri coz have to wait till the effects of the anaesthetics wear off.

Kalau tak nak epidural there's the nitrous gas and the pethidine injections.

To me lah...I'd rather ambik epidural coz kalau ada apa emergency (minta dijauhkan lah kan) like fetal distress and they have to do C-section...they can go ahead terus. And kalau kena pakai forceps, you tak rasa.

But I'm speaking from doctors point of view and from my own experience. Some people would say I'm a coward taking epidural during labour. But is it taking epidural you'll love your child less coz you tak rasa perit sakit masa labour? No...you'll enjoy the birth of your child coz you're pain free.

But everyone to their own. I got a friend yang 4 orang anak satu pun dia tak ambik epidural. So I memang kagum orang yang boleh go through that.

Well..good luck!
