| Everything will be Fine | 4. Get rid of all your fears! The childbirth period is the tough ordeal for your little one, just the same as for you. So make everything you for your baby to arrive easily. Do not let adrenaline attack you. When you are afraid of something, the fear hormone is being actively produced by your organism and conducted to the baby. The child gets nervous. And yet your muscles get strained because of the fear and contract worse. This leads to the feeling of pain. If you were calm, that would help your baby to get born quickly and would lessen your pain. You should learn to turn all fears out and cope with panic. These tips may help you do so:
- Get to know everything about the very process of childbirth. You are afraid of a dark room, but as soon as you turn the light on, fear leaves you. Just learn everything about what you will experience: stages of the childbirth process, how to breathe correctly, how fits occur, etc. Ask your doctor everything you are interested in. his answers will make you feel better. Another way out is to read special literature. There are lots of books and magazines about this process and period of pregnancy. You may also visit Interned sites, where young mothers describe their experiences. After all you will see, everything is not so bad and awful, as it seems to be;
- Choose a good hospital. Psychologists say that any uncertainty causes fears. You may draw a picture, more awful than the family Adam’s house. When you see the place where your baby will arrive, you will feel much better and confident. You will see comfortable rooms, meet friendly doctors and nurses. And it will encourage you with no doubts;
- Make your menu better. When you get nervous, your organism loses many of useful substances, such as zinc, magnesium, vitamin C, etc. their deficiency may influence your baby’s health as well as yours. That is why your menu should include plenty of products, containing these components.
5. Practice the reflex therapy. Make a new rule in your family: every evening your husband massages your feet. Before he begins, he should warm his hands up drop some lavender oil on them. There is no need to hurry; the most important is not to skip any point on your feet. There are many areas on your feet; each of them is responsible for a definite body organ. Their stimulation helps you to feel better and helps you to cope with such problems as nausea, heartburn, and headache. Tender massage lowers the pressure and promotes extra liquid to get out of your body.
6. Eat green products. There is much of vitamin C in parsley, dill and in all vegetables of green colour. They regulate the work of your nervous system. All products of this group will calm you down better than any medicines. There are plenty of variants: you may prepare salads, soups of tasty ragout.
7. Eat much of fish. Scientists have found that fat acidities, contained in some sorts of fish are important for the baby’s brain development and for the health of a future mother as well. Those, who like fish dishes, are less inclined to have a depression. Prepare salmon, pilchard, trout. These kinds of fish are especially good for you at this period.
8. Feel nervous, but not too much. Let everything be all right with you! This wish you can often hear from your friends and relatives. But imagine, that short stress, connected with positive emotions and events makes harm neither to you nor to your baby. Stress makes your organism work more actively in response to positive emotions. Blood circulates faster, the metabolic processes speed up as well. It can only make you both feel better.
