| | childbirth: Definition, Synonyms and Much More From Answers.com |
 | | The medical science of childbirth is termed obstetrics and a doctor who specializes in managing birth is termed an obstetrician. | | | These risks should be balanced against the fact that childbirth can be extremely painful, and anesthestics are an effective (and used properly, generally safe) way of treating that pain. | | | A woman is considered to be in labour when she develops regular painful uterine contractions, which are accompanied by changes of her cervix, these primarily being effacement and dilation. |

| | Labor Contractions - California Pacific Medical Center's Women & Infants Center |
| | Labor contractions are the periodic tightening and relaxing of the uterine muscle, the largest muscle in a woman's body. | | | These contractions cause the upper part of the uterus (fundus) to tighten and thicken while the cervix and lower portion of the uterus stretch and relax, helping the baby pass from inside the uterus and into the birth canal for delivery. | | | Try to work with your body rather than against it by staying as relaxed as possible during the contractions. |

| | Childbirth Hypnosis, Wendi Friesen |
| | The experience of pain in childbirth is the result of an unnatural process of fear, which produces tension, which creates tightness and clamping of the muscles, which results in pain. | | | Hypnosis is an easy way to create a totally peaceful state in the chemistry of the body that will allow the muscles to relax so deeply that the fear melts away, the muscles release the adrenaline and pain is released. | | | This effect is even more evidence that the baby is clearly receiving communication from the mind of the mother and from the outside experiences. |

| | She should be patient and calm, relaxing as the contractions come and go and breathing slowly and deeply during the contractions as they become strong. | | | Do this massage during a contraction when it will not be noticed or it may irritate some women. | | | Tenseness in the body fights the contractions and intensifies the sensations of "pain." Relaxation helps a woman to handle the contractions easier and have a faster labor. |

| | These contractions were only painful if I tried to talk, or do anything else but relax during them. | | | In talking to my friend Beth, who commented that I sounded more like I was having an orgasm during a contraction than in pain, I found that changing my tone during the contractions from deep guttural growls to lighter breathier vocal sighs, I relaxed much more and the contractions didn’t seem so intense. | | | With the next contraction I pushed hard hard hard, but her shoulders didn’t seem to want to come out. |

| | This type of contraction may feel similar to a muscle spasm all in the abdomen and kind of achy feeling. | | | If you are experiencing pain with the Braxton Hicks contractions, it is more likely to be the ligaments pulling than the actual "exercise contraction" that is causing the pain. | | | If your body did not prepare itself with Braxton Hicks contractions, labor would be longer, more painful and overall not as productive in pushing out a baby. |

| | Sample Chapter for Klassen, P.E.: Blessed Events: Religion and Home Birth in America. |
| | Part of this ease stemmed from their generally high levels of self-education regarding childbirth, but it was also a sign of the implicit (and partial) hegemony of medical models of birth even within the alternative-birth movement. | | | Working with the childbirth stories of "ordinary" women like Simone, I ask questions about how women interpret and create the meanings of childbirth in their own lives--how they make sense of the pain, evolve evocative metaphors for their birthing bodies, and sometimes find transformative power in their procreation. | | | Though I realize that globally there are many barriers to safe and satisfying childbirth, and that not all women are going to desire the same kind of experience, my goal here is to show that individuals and societies make implicit and explicit choices in their ways of birth. |

| | Pushing Positions during Childbirth |
| | It is highly recommended that you practice each one, through a couple of practice contractions, just to see for yourself whether you find them comfortable, or practical. | | | Now that you have a clear idea of what your options are with regards to pushing positions, you should feel comfortable and confident about what you are doing and why you are doing it. | | | The major advantage here is that it is comfortable for the mother and for most birth practitioners, and it is easy to assume. |
