This is the one moment in her life where she is willing to go through all the pain just to ensure that her baby makes a safe and healthy delivery into the world. This moment, is one no woman will  ever forget easily.

Here are few tips for a smooth delivery.

Keep fit

Everyone advises a pregnant woman to take rest all the time and spend most of the time relaxing in her bed. Rest is necessary but equally important is regular exercise. It helps the expecting mother to stay fit, cope up with labor and also recover sooner after childbirth.

Be flexible

All mothers-to-be like to be informed about their child’s growth, and the progress of their pregnancy. Remember that no pregnancy can go according to plan. If there are hiccups, don’t stress. Find new ways to cope with the pain and get back on track.

Attend pregnancy classes

Enroll yourself for pregnancy classes. They teach you every thing you need to know about a child’s birth. What to eat and what not to eat, the right amount, sitting postures, the kind of exercise you should do and much more. Follow their guidelines all through and you will have a smooth delivery.

Learn to focus

Try and build your focus and concentration powers as you get close to your due date. When the time comes to push and the contractions are intense, focus is one thing that helps you cope with the pain.

Try the water therapy

Taking a bath in a warm water tub or sitting under a hot water shower helps you to relax and calm down. It relaxes and reduces the pain caused by contractions. It makes you feel good too.

Learn breathing techniques

During labor and especially when you are in the push phase, breathing properly is vital. Holding of breath makes it difficult. Learn different techniques like deep breathing, short breaths, controlled breathing etc. Breathing right ensures a smooth delivery.
