One of the happiest moments for many women is the sweet expectation of your baby. Not only is it something that produces great enthusiasm, but the expectation is great and everything must be perfect.

How to prepare for childbirth with professionals

It is a fact that the female body knows how to give birth. However, it is also a fact that our habits have changed, becoming more sedentary. Even if you exercise regularly or are active, you should know that there are specific routines for childbirth. Yes, your body has ancestral memory, but it is necessary to "wake it up" and prepare for when the birth arrives.
That is why at Policlínica del Río Hortega we offer you a complete specific treatment of preparation for childbirth. And not only that, but you'll also be prepared to take care of yourself after you have your baby. As you well know, it is not only a big change in your life, but also in your body. So it will be important that those parts of your body involved in the pregnancy return to their normal position. And this will be possible thanks to an adequate obstetric physiotherapy.

What is obstetric physiotherapy used for?

We are going to contemplate your process in these phases. On one side is the prepartum phase. Especially if it is your first baby or if the previous delivery had certain problems or complications, this is important. There is the fear of the unknown, where you surely wonder if it will hurt or how tolerable the pain will be. (Even if you get an epidural.) That is why we will focus on breaking the cycle of fear-tension-pain that usually occurs prior to birth.
Our goal will be that when that moment arrives you are well prepared physically and mentally. Of course, that as far as possible it is a quick delivery and this will be achieved by prior work on the pelvic floor. Did you know that when this is not done there is a greater chance of injuring the perineum and having sequelae in the postpartum period? You will also learn valuable breathing exercises (it seems incredible, but in those moments you forget to breathe). In addition to pelvic perineal exercises, biofeedback, push training, perineal massage, etc.
