Midwifery in late pregnancy

In the late pregnancy, mothers will deal with the unborn baby. In order to reduce the pain of delivery to a certain extent, they will do some midwifery exercises. Of course, the hospital will also use some midwifery methods when necessary. Then mothers just need to wait for the baby to be born. So what are the midwifery exercises in the late pregnancy?

Kneeling body adjustment: Kneel with soles of feet on the ground, kneels and heels close together, and heels separated. Place your palms down on the inside of your thighs, straighten your upper body, close your eyes, feel your breathing, and calm your mind. According to your physical condition, decide the exercise time. It is best to do it after a meal, which is conducive to digestion. The training time should be from short to long, depending on your comfort. This type of exercise can exercise the inner thigh and thigh muscles, make the lower limbs more powerful, and is beneficial to perfect delivery. Common problem: Pregnant women with severe arthritis or varicose veins should avoid doing this.

Seated Hip Extension: Squat down and pull your feet together toward your toes, with the soles of your feet aligned and your heels touching your vulva as much as possible. Hold your breath for about 6 seconds, keep your body and neck straight, spread your knees as close to the ground as possible, and hold your toes with your hands, or place them on your knees. Inhale for 3 seconds, then return to the original position. This type of exercise stretches and flexes the lower limbs, strengthens the muscles in the inner thigh and pelvic area, and prepares for childbirth. Common problems: Pregnant women with severe arthritis, hemorrhoids, and lower abdominal inflammation should not do this.

Flat squat: inhale for about 2 seconds, palms down, straighten arms out in front of the body to a perpendicular plane to the ground, and stand on tiptoes (if you can't maintain it for a long time, you can use both hands to hold the table, chair, bench or living balcony to do the tiptoe posture) and slowly squat down. Inhale for about 2 seconds, keep your arms stretched out and squat on your tiptoes, with the inner thighs pressing on your calves. Inhale for about 2 seconds, keep standing on tiptoe and stand up slowly. Inhale and return to normal. This type of exercise strengthens the inner thigh and pelvic muscles, making delivery more complete. Common problem: If you find it difficult to stand on tiptoe, you can try doing it without standing on tiptoe. Pregnant women with vertigo or severe arthritis should avoid doing this.

In the later stages of pregnancy, doing squats can also be helpful in assisting childbirth, but it is recommended that you do it in a relatively healthy and safe environment, and must be accompanied by many people, otherwise it is easy to fall, which may cause harm. In addition, in the later stages of pregnancy, you should strengthen your physical fitness. You can take a walk after dinner and go up and down the stairs during the day. This is all helpful, but you must pay attention to not exercising too much. You must pay attention to the baby's fetal movements and count them on time every day. Generally, you can drink some lemon honey water in moderation in the later stages of pregnancy, which can loosen the cervix and then speed up the opening of the cervix.
