Preparation for childbirth - Theory and Practice

Today, all courses in preparation for childbirth or motherhood have taken the best from each of the schools for pioneers and are a part of theoretical and physical training.

In the theoretical lessons are taught about the genitals, fertilization and the process of pregnancy. It also explains the contractions and the stages of birth, and there are some notions of paediatrics and child care. This time, in which women are very receptive to information, is used by instructors to further explain some basic knowledge of women's health, such as self breast for early detection of cancer, or contraception.

Breastfeeding is also a chapter on the formation of the expectant mother.
In the practical classes are taught relaxation, breathing and gymnastics. Each person uses the techniques of the school which has trained but, basically, are all simple, so that pregnant women can practice alone.

With gymnastics is intended to prepare the areas of the body that will withstand greater stress during childbirth. Breathing is a weapon that will help women to maintain calm and for good measure the force.

One of the most important objectives of the entire course of preparation that price is to serve as a forum for the pregnant woman who can express their fears, get rid of ancient myths, manage the anxiety that it produces its new status and prevent postpartum depression.

The presence of a psychologist to help prepare the change that represents the arrival of the baby is therefore absolutely imperative. Prepartum courses typically consist of ten lessons that are taught in as many weeks. Each class lasts, typically 2 hours. They usually start in the sixth or seventh month of pregnancy.
