Exercises to help with childbirth

Although natural delivery tea is not reliable, proper exercise can indeed help with natural delivery! Dear pregnant mothers, don’t put your hopes on various natural delivery products. Moving is the most effective way. The following exercises can help with natural delivery.

1. Sit cross-legged with your feet facing each other: Keep your back and waist straight, close your feet, pull your heels inward, and slowly lower your knees. This action can maintain the flexibility of the pelvis and enhance blood circulation in the lower body. If it is difficult to complete this posture, you can lean against a wall to support your back.

2. Rock your pelvis up and down: Support your body with your hands and knees, with your head and body at the same level. Pull in your abdomen, hold this position for a few seconds, and gently rock your back. Then relax your abdomen and back, lower your back, try to keep your back level, and repeat the above movements. This can strengthen the waist muscles and help relieve back pain during childbirth.

3. Wall sliding: Stand with your back against the wall, feet apart, shoulder-width apart, and slowly slide down the wall until you are in a sitting position. Hold the sitting position for a few seconds, then slide up to stand. Repeat this action 10 times. This action helps open the pelvic opening to give the fetus more space to enter the birth canal.
