How to prepare for childbirth

 

1)Learn Lamaze Breathing in advance

    Lamaze Breathing is a method recommended by many obstetricians. The main principle is to reduce the pain and stabilize the mood by shifting the mother’s attention from pain to control of her breathing, which is conducive to dilation of the uterine mouth and shortens the birth process.
