Yoga Positions To Try During Labour Pain
All pregnant women fear one thing the most and that is the period of labour pain and childbirth. It is supposed to be the worst kind of pain that any human being has to bear. However, some simple yoga positions during labour can actually soothe your pain. The problem is that most women are not prepared to try these yoga positions during labour because they have never practised it before.
So if you are pregnant, then you must try these yoga asanas in preparation for childbirth. When your uterus contractions begin, the yoga asanas can soothe your pain to some extent. But more importantly, yoga positions during labour help you to push the baby out. In short, you will be looking at a shorter period of being in labour if you try these yoga asanas.
The lesser time you take to deliver, the better it is for you. You will only have to bear lesser duration of the labour pain. These yoga positions during labour helps to keep your body fit and make the process of giving birth easy. However, you must try these positions only under the guidance of an expert in order to avoid accidents.
Here are some of the yoga positions you can try out when you are in labour.
Cat Pose
The cat pose makes you kneel on all fours and stretch. This helps to push the baby down once your water breaks. You can also try lifting your leg up high to quicken the baby's movement.
Child Pose
The child pose is named so because it is an extremely relaxing position. Your uterus contractions will come in spell. The period in between the contractions is for resting. Try this yoga position during the rest period.
Dog Tail Wagging
Kneel on all fours and move your hip as if you are a dog wagging its tail. You can vary the pace of the tail wagging depending on the surge of pain you feel. It is a very soothing position.
Body Eights
Stand up straight and make the number '8' in the air with your body movement. Mostly it is your pregnant belly that will be moving and this action will be a very soothing distraction during labour.
Polar Bear Posture
Sometimes your baby's position may not be right for birth. In such cases kneel down in the polar bear position with your upper body bent lower than your hips. This allows the baby a chance to come into the right birthing position.
Deep Lunges
Once the mouth of your cervix opens up, you can put one of your feet up on a chair or stool and try deep lunges. This helps to push the baby faster and smoother into the birth passage.
Hip Circles
Have you tried exercising with hoops? Do the same action by moving your belly in wide circles. This motion is extremely comforting during childbirth.
Squat
Squatting is the most traditional position in which women gave birth. It naturally opens up the vaginal opening so that the baby can be born easily. Practice squatting before hand so that you can try this yoga position during labour.
