Before going into labor, the doctor will advise the pregnant woman to move around more often and not stay in bed all the time. Because keeping the body upright allows blood to flow to the placenta, providing sufficient oxygen for the birth of the baby and reducing the suffocation that occurs during birth. Let's talk specifically about which actions help pregnant women give birth smoothly.

Movement 1: Squats. Spread your feet apart, hold the bed with your hands for support, and squat at your knees, half squat, or squat completely. This action is done during contractions to help transfer pressure and can effectively reduce pain. It is recommended to start practicing squats a few weeks before your due date.

Movement 2: Press the legs. Place one foot on a relatively stable bed, lean forward, and shake your hips as if in a leg-pressing position. This will encourage the pelvis to open and your baby to descend more widely.

Movement 3: Lie on the left side. In labor pain, if the pregnant mother wants to rest, you can use the left side to lie and put a pillow between the legs, whether lying flat or lying on the right side, the composing body may compress the aorta, so that the blood flow is not smooth, affecting the baby's oxygen supply.
