Anyways, since I was the first time Mom, the hospital people told me to take The Labor Preparation Class..... I took their advice and enrolled for the class...... There they told me what is labor, What happens during labor, what should I do during labor, what my partner should do, what are the phases of labor, etc.
Labor is basically the contraction of uterine muscles...... Though during pregnancy uterus does practices labor exercise and few women do feel that they are in labor...... it is called False Labor..... or Braxton and hicks contractions..... it is very normal...... it just that uterus rehearses before the actual labor...... but during the labor the uterus actually pushes the baby...... labor is the time where its work for everybody..... mom, baby, mom's body and obviously family, doctors everybody around us.......
There are various phases of labor:
- Active Labor
- pushing
- delivery of baby
- delivery of placenta
- recovery
The labor starts from the time when a woman starts feeling the contractions till she is recovered( can stand and walk)...... the instructor explained each and every phase very clearly.... i was scared after hearing every thing but i now really wanted the big thing to happen..... it was becoming tiring for me each day and i was getting very impatient..... this last phase was a bit troublesome because now the baby was grown fully..... and it was difficult for me to eat or drink..... even sleeping was difficult..... the back pain and cramps were so bad that i couldnt sleep at all...... now i couldnt wait at all...... i was all angry..... but I couldnt do anything......
to be continued.....
