What is sopfrology delivery? How to practice sopfrology delivery?

There are many ways for pregnant women to give birth. Different delivery methods are suitable for different pregnant women, and the delivery process steps are also different. Many people don’t know much about sopfrology delivery, which is a very excellent delivery method.

Sopfrology childbirth training is divided into three parts: association training, abdominal breathing training and relaxation training.

Association training: First stabilize your impetuous emotions, then associate with the process of childbirth. In Sopfrology childbirth training, association training is one of the most important trainings. If you have labor pains, you can associate with the process of childbirth in the delivery room and the appearance of the fetus, so that you can adjust your mentality for childbirth.

Relaxation training (prenatal gymnastics): Through practicing yoga movements, you can exert or restrain your strength as you wish. The basic postures for relaxation training in Sopfrology are sitting cross-legged and sitting with your feet facing each other.

Strength training: 1. First, sit cross-legged, then stretch your arms forward and clench your fists. While taking a deep breath, slowly bend your arms. 2. While holding your breath, quickly rotate your arms. If you can't bear it, exhale quickly while stretching your arms forward.

Relaxation Exercise 1 (Sitting Pose)

1. First, place your feet together and lower your head slightly, adopting the sitting posture.

2. Slowly lift your back, waist and head, inhale slowly, and then return to the original sitting position while exhaling.

Relaxation Exercise 2 (Kitten Pose)

1. First, place your hands on the floor, then spread your knees shoulder-width apart and imitate the kitten pose.

2. Lower your head while inhaling, and then bend your back while exhaling.

Relaxation training 3 (gymnastics to master body contours)

1. First, sit in a cross-legged position, then cross your hands and place them above your lower abdomen while taking a deep breath.

2. Take a deep breath while raising your arms and stretching your body. Then, as you exhale, lower your hands to the height of your face.

3. Slowly lower your arms.

Abdominal breathing can provide sufficient oxygen to the fetus and promote uterine activity. The mother can perform abdominal breathing at the beginning of labor pain. Abdominal breathing can be divided into two types: complete breathing and active breathing.

Complete Breathing: Take a deep breath through your nose, fully expand your abdomen, and allow air to enter every corner of your lungs. Also, since the ribs in your chest, middle, and clavicle are all open to the outside, oxygen can enter your lungs more easily. Then exhale slowly, returning your chest and abdomen to their original positions. Generally, perform 5 to 6 complete exhalations per minute. If you hold your breath during breathing, oxygen can stay in your lungs for a few seconds. Continue to breathe completely from the beginning of labor pains until the uterine gate opens about 5 cm.

Active breathing: When you are close to delivery, hold your hands below your belly button and breathe deeply, then exhale slowly while pushing your abdomen. Continue breathing actively from the time the fetus's head moves down until delivery is over.

Differences between Sopfrology and Lamaze: Both Lamaze and Sopfrology reduce labor pain through special training. Lamaze uses chest breathing and requires the help of the husband or others; on the contrary, Sopfrology uses abdominal breathing, which can be done independently by the pregnant woman. In addition, Lamaze focuses on reducing labor pain, while Sopfrology coordinates labor and relieves pain by cultivating maternal love.

Both Sopfrology and Lamaze are methods of childbirth that are conducive to smoother natural childbirth. Sopfrology is a popular method of childbirth that uses training to reduce the pain of labor pain during childbirth and help mothers give birth to their children more easily and effectively. Sopfrology childbirth training is divided into three parts: association training, abdominal breathing training, and relaxation training. The Lamaze method is derived from Pavlov's "conditioned reflex" principle. When this principle is applied to childbirth, when labor pains come, the "muscle tension" that originally appeared immediately when the pain came is transformed into "active muscle relaxation" after repeated practice, thereby reducing the pain. What is the difference between the two? Let's find out. Both the Lamaze method and the Sopfrology method use special training to reduce labor pain. The Lamaze method uses chest breathing and requires the help of the husband or others; on the contrary, the Sopfrology method uses abdominal breathing, which pregnant women can complete independently. In addition, the Lamaze method focuses on reducing labor pain, while the Sopfrology method coordinates childbirth and relieves pain by cultivating maternal love. Not all pregnant women are suitable for Sopfrology and Lamazepam delivery. Those who are pregnant with multiple babies, malposition of fetuses, placenta previa or have irregular bleeding and cannot give birth through natural delivery cannot use Sopfrology and Lamazepam delivery methods.
