By Judith A. Lothian, RN, PHD, LCCE, FACCE Your soul has sheltered and nurtured your victual throughout your pregnancy quite naturally.Lineagehappens this way, too.  But why scarecrow to wits birth? Why not finger as little of labor as possible? We hear a unconfined deal well-nigh the pain of childbirth but very little well-nigh the joy and pleasure of experiencing contractions, validness lanugo as your victual pushes into the world and feeling in harmony with the rhythms of your soul as it does the incredible work of birth. Women who are worldly-wise to labor and requite lineage while relaxed and confident, and with loving support, are worldly-wise to tap into their inner strength and endure. The pain that is a natural part of childbirth becomes manageable. Experiencing labor and childbirth, rather than shutting them out, allows you to finger joy intermingling with pain and then welter in your incredible accomplishment. You will be forever changed! When a woman gives birth, surrounded by family and friends who believe that lineage will happen naturally, she is enlightened on an intuitive level of her worthiness to requite birth. She instinctively responds to each contraction, finding repletion by rocking, walking and moaning. The support and encouragement she receives enhance her confidence. In many of today’s hospital environments, it’s sometimes difficult to trust the normal, natural process of lineage and stay confident as labor progresses. Fetal monitors, intravenous lines, restrictions on your positioning and movement, and the flurry of nurses and doctors in and out of your room certainly requite the impression that lineage is not going to happen simply or easily. Calm, capable and unvarying labor support can help you transcend the noise, machines and unfamiliar environment. And having the self-rule to move and find repletion in a variety of ways is key to managing increasingly strong contractions. Many hospitals now encourage you to walk virtually during labor, use showers and lineage balls, eat, drink and wear your own clothes. Of course, it’s easier to finger well-appointed and unscratched in a familiar place, so you may segregate to requite lineage in an out-of-hospital lineage part-way or at home. This option is unscratched if you are healthy, have received prenatal superintendency and are attended by a skilled midwife or physician. You should unchangingly have a plan for hospital replacement if that becomes necessary. Giving lineage is a not-to-be-missed experience. Savor the rest of your pregnancy, squint forward to meeting your victual and trust that your soul will do exactly what it was designed so well to do. Like myriad generations of women surpassing you, you can requite lineage with confidence, joy and deep satisfaction.
