Here's a list of tips which can help you ensure a normal delivery:



1. Good prenatal education

The very first step is to get you educated about pregnancy and birthing. Try some simple labour pain management mechanisms like breathing, relaxation, self-hypnosis to prepare for the later stages.



2. Exercise

During pregnancy, you are usually asked to take rest and relax. However, you must keep yourself going during this period. Do not lift too heavy weights, but you can practice some exercises to strengthen your pelvic muscles and thighs. These are helpful when it comes to combating labour pain. Practice pelvic stretches and tilts, squats for thighs. Exercise under the supervision of an expert because your mistakes can have a direct impact on your baby.

3. Diet

Eat right and eat proper. This is when you need good nutritional intake for your body. But, make sure that you do not overeat. Overeating may increase your weight and decrease your chances of normal delivery. Eat foods that nourish you and make you stronger for the upcoming months.

4. Say no to stress

Don't allow stress, anxiety and contemplation affect you. Read books on parenting, talk to elders and stay around positive and happy people.

5. Practice breathing exercises

Proper oxygen supply to the baby is important for ensuring proper growth. Also, you need to hold and deep breathe from time to time during labour. So practice breathing exercises to prepare for labour.

6. Take a massage

Regular massages are important for you during the third trimester of pregnancy. Massages can help in keeping you prepared for labour; mitigate pain in joints and the muscle tension as well.

7. Keep yourself hydrated

Water is anyway important for your body. But when you are pregnant, it is even more important. Water is important for giving you that extra stamina you need during labour. Stock some fresh fruit juice and energy drinks to make up for your need of water.
