Here we give a brief description of the simplest rules of non-pharmacological pain control. I chose to treat this as massage, hot water, breathing and thinking are truly available to every woman's experience of childbirth. However, the first device to contain the pain of childbirth is in my view reflect on this experience and pain, alone and together with your partner, not unprepared. In those moments you will be much stronger if you're in two, cohesive and ready. Learn about the physiology of childbirth is a way to minimize the fears, at least those misplaced: the peace is a great ally. Enhance the event in its entirety, entering into communication with the child, who is the other great protagonist of all, helps relativization of their fears. Speak and confess the fears is helpful, leaving, however, that fears take the place of the protagonists of the story: know that almost all deliveries occurred spontaneously, where there are no diseases borne by the mother or the baby are f...
It is very difficult to talk about this, because for most of us experience of childbirth is placed in a hospital protocol and is not referred to as a moment of sexual woman's natural cycle. Yet, in nature this is the birth, so let me outline some considerations, conscious of its delicate nature and that may be very different from woman to woman. The pain is associated, anthropologically, rites of passage and initiation: this is not just about femininity, but is easily applied to femininity, if we think, for example, that a component of pain joins nell'esordio same sexual cycle women with menstrual pain that many women receive early adolescence. To cite another example, pain related to tearing hymen has a symbolic importance in the sexual life of the girl who becomes a woman. The puzzle-like pain, love and death is in fact a hallmark of many cultures and a category we can easily apply to sexuality, and I think especially the female sexuality. Apply to female sexuality will some n...
The dimensions of pain
The pain is possible to distinguish a sensory and an affective dimension and / or cognitive. The perception of pain, purely individual, is the result of these two elements that can be said that the first part, organic is uniform, while the second part is what determines the significant differences between human beings response to grief. it is proved that the events have a direct influence on emotional pain fear or anxious anticipation of pain are significant excitatory nervous system that increases the intensity of perceived pain stimulus, conversely, the concentration and relaxation may result raising the threshold of pain, or even indifference to pain. The emotional part of pain perception are influenced by these key factors: the expectation of pain: what we imagine this pain, as we expect it, and the reactions that we expect to have against this pain; Memory of pain: our brain has stored a "catalog" of painful situations, which will compare with the pain perceived, ...
In all women, when they reached full expansion, there is a period shorter or longer in which contractions slow down. This is crucial to allow the uterus to eat before taking the subsequent expulsive phase. This period is called "transition" and is a necessary and delicate, so much the woman as the child should be prepared for a new job, which will lead to more active involvement. is the period in which both must draw the abandonment of the old situation. The momentum that is described here is the fight-flight instinct, which is a normal physiological mechanism present in all mammals, related to danger. It prepares the animal or human being to react, through the rapid activation of all autonomic functions necessary for an escape or attack cardiac acceleration, increased breathing rate, muscle tension, increased attention and vigilance. Childbirth, women may react to attack perceived (the sensation of pain is automatically associated by the brain to the danger and damage) in very di...
The trend-break-break action is typical of the development of labor. The active phase of labor is one in which the uterine contractions cause dilation. The woman perceives these as regular contractions, prolonged (lasting about one minute) intervals. The active phase of labor coincides with the progressive dilatation of the cervix. is the most intense moment of childbirth, the perception of pain increases gradually as the woman's fatigue due to short breaks. Conventionally, it is in "active labor," when the dilation reaches at least three centimeters and the contractions are seen at least every five minutes, with a minimum duration of 45 seconds each. This phase normally proceeds with a certain intensity from third to seventh cm expansion, or until such time as mother and son are on the verge of tipping point. Here the mind and body still need a period of time, called "transitional."...
