The Counterargument is that the pulsation is the Risk of hyperbilirubinaemia cannot be denied. But there are a few Simple tricks.

If the supine position is not good for mum's circulation, then it is also not good for the baby in the belly.

What they say in any case many Womenwho had an induction with prostaglandin. And this is also understandable in view of the fact that the prostaglandin in addition to your own hormones is administered and then does not dock completely to the uterus, but also floats freely in the blood. There reinforced it is then the Sensation of pain. What can also happen, however, is that the contractions come very frequently and therefore Hardly any break times for recovery are. That is exhausting, which then leads to Cramping and the then intensifies the pain. But there can be Breathing technique and the Birth positions which I will teach you in the course. An induced labour doesn't have to be terrible if you have learned to deal with it.

You can make the decision in favour of a caesarean section at any time meet. Even during the birth. The more time you give yourself to make this decision, the more chance you give yourself and your baby that you make it. A caesarean section is a major abdominal surgerywhich only then should be made, when a normal birth would be more dangerous for you or the baby. A caesarean section is not painless. The pain is only shifted to the weeks and months after the birth of the baby.

Dear Lola, that's possible many women like this. But I promise: I'll still be available in December. If you now Questions during pregnancyor after the birth the Tips from a midwife then you can book an appointment for yourself directly in my calendar. On notdiensthebamme.de you can Personal appointments agree. You can find tips from mums and me in the Facebook group for the courses. You are not alone. Not now - and not in the postpartum period.

No, you must the father Do not take with youif you don't want to. But take someone with, who support you can. And he or she must also be prepared for the birth. Prepared be.

In fact, sugar in the diet has a Influence on the birth and the Pain. But this is about not for a Waiver. Especially not something absolute. Because Pregnant women need also Carbohydrates. It is a question of Quantity and a question of Processing form. Wholemeal products also contain carbohydrates. However, they are available more slowly and therefore make no such massive increase in insulin levels

The Labour tea from the 39th week of pregnancy is in any case in order. It supports the Preparation of your body. If your baby is not ready, the tea will not force it out of your tummy. 

The PDA is of course a Anaesthesia. Like any medical intervention, this has Side effects. It should not be used just like that. However, if it is used to a mum gathers new strength and then can continue her birth, then she is a Valuable help

You can eat anything you like tastes and does well. Let your gut feeling and your stomach be your guide. 

For 1 litre of tea:

1 stick of cinnamon; 10 cloves; 1 small piece of ginger; 1 tbsp verbena tea

This is precisely when the clove oil tampons really good preparation. Because they either make the introduction unnecessary, because the winds are already coming, or they reduce the need for medication during the introduction. At the Rupture of the membranes clove oil tampons must not be used. 

The PDA is of course a Anaesthesia. Like any medical intervention, this has Side effects. It should not be used just like that. However, if it is used to a mum gathers new strength and then can continue her birth, then she is a Valuable help

That is correct. It is therefore important that the PDA is only used when you are already too tired to work actively. It helps you to rest and gather strength for your own activities.

Perineal massage makes much more sense than Epino. Because with Epino you might not get an episiotomy. But you won't get it because you have already ruined your pelvic floor before the birth. An incision heals, you can heal the overstretched pelvic floor from the birth in a postnatal course. But nothing can heal the ruined pelvic floor after permanent overstretching. It's good that you followed your instincts and are now doing a different prophylactic programme.

Yes, you can do that. But of course you can only get your body fit. The many options for preparing for the birth start in the 36th week of pregnancy. I'll show you all of them in the Birth preparation course. If it really should come down to an introduction, then the Labour tea and the clove blossom oil tampons great. But I really only recommend this if it is foreseeable that medication will be necessary.

If everything is in order, there is no reason for a Caesarean section for twins. Nowadays even triplets are born spontaneously. If you are given advice, ask why. If you can understand the reason, then you can accept the advice. Otherwise, it's always worth asking whether there are better alternatives for the situation.

The idea is that less insulin is secreted and this promotes the effectiveness of the prostaglandin. However, I would advise Change your diet as early as the 36th week of pregnancy. This is when your physical preparation for the birth begins.

This is a term for the release of the ovum. Many women find this painful. The medical benefits have not been proven. It is only done if you are past your due date and the cervix is already slightly open. But you have to be asked, you have to agree. You can also refuse and you can cancel at any time if it is too unpleasant for you

Then you breathe in the short time of your birth. It's not as if there are no pauses. The breaks are just short. And if you concentrate well, you can also use short breaks to recharge your batteries. I'll show you how in the Birth preparation course. Because women who experience labour induction must also be able to do this.

You don't have to shave. It really doesn't matter at all for the birth. And by the way: pubic hair is there to catch rising germs. You don't have to shave it if you can't or don't like it.

Oh yes, there are lots of things you can do. For example Hay flower baths. Your physical preparation begins in the 36th week of pregnancy. I will show you the many possibilities in the Birth preparation course.
