♦ You give birth to a pet or some strange household item.

♦ Your child will be injured or damaged in some way.

If you are concerned about the coming pain or you are worried about your ability to cope with childbirth, think about the possibilities of pain relief. Your reaction to delivery will be as you imagine, so it is recommended to present them comfortably with the help of visualization practice.

Remember that it is easier to cope with pain if you consider it as a sign that the body works naturally and effectively.

CAN YOU CONTROL YOURSELF?

Many people try not to show their feelings in public, and sometimes in their personal lives, so do not be surprised if you can not scream, yell or just be helpless in front of others. Staying in a hospital outside the usual home environment can increase anxiety, especially if it's the first birth, since you may not have enough knowledge of your capabilities and internal resources.

The medical staff has seen this process many times, and its main concern is to follow your condition and the appearance of the child, they have no time to think about anything else. You will understand that any shyness will disappear when you focus on the physical fulfillment of the task of childbirth and fill yourself with the feeling of the sacrament of the birth of the baby. If you are very concerned about the physical openness of the delivery process, talk to the doctor who supervises you, who will "guide" you carefully and carefully. Would

BE SUCCESSFUL?

Among the first-born women, there is a tendency to consider childbirth as a test in which some achieve success and others do not - for example, if the woman planned delivery without anesthesia, but then decided that she needed it, because she considered herself to be weak in some way. But the birth process is non-standard - a woman can not know what nature has prepared for her, and the experience of others here is unsuitable. It is important that when you are born with you there are people you trust and who can cope with any contingency. Set yourself a task to rely on the will of the feelings, so that, looking back, you could say that you coped and gained this incredible experience.
