Quick Things You Can Do In the Final Furlong to Make Birthing Easier
1. Perineal massage: massaging and toning the perineum to make sure that it doesn’t tear during childbirth and ‘pings’ back into shape. Just like exercising your perineum.
2. Drink raspberry leaf tea: raspberry leaf tea has been shown to speed up the second part of labour when drank from around 28 weeks. Please refer to the label on the tea/capsules you are using as the dates advised often vary.
3. Yoga for strengthening and opening: Strengthening the leg muscles for squatting and strength bearing and also focusing on opening the hips and pelvis for comfortable birthing.
