For a woman who is going to deliver her first baby, it is important to make some preparations for an easier, worry-free and safe labor. Normally, a pregnant female carries a child on her womb for nine months and that is enough for the couple to prepare for everything - finances, baby clothes, formula and insurance. However, there is something that woman has to do on her own and with her body to ensure that she and her baby will be safe and do well during the delivery process. Like any important event or business, child birth is also something that should be planned.

Birth Setting and Nutrition

The best choice for a birth setting is the hospital. Mothers would choose to be comfortable and safe during prenatal, labor and post-partum which are the times when they mostly needed care and assistance. There are some cases wherein some expectant are giving birth on different places because of early water breaks. To prevent unexpected circumstances from happening like this, it is advisable for pregnant women to confine themselves in the hospital a month earlier. No one knows the exact date or when the baby will come out so it's better to be sure that put both of your lives at risk.

Having the complete vitamins and minerals is also important during pregnancy. Complete nutrition ensures full growth and a stronger fetus or child inside the mother's womb. If a mother lacks in nourishment and has bad habits or vices such as alcohol and drugs, there is a chance that the effect to both the mother and baby could be horrible. In getting adequate nourishment, different kinds of foods can be consumed. Multivitamins will help on making sure that important nutrients such as iron, folic acid, calcium, vitamin C and B-complex are present in the body. Vegans have a special kind of diet as they don't eat anything that came from animals depriving themselves of iron and vitamin B12.

Getting the Body Ready for Labor

Preparing the body is important especially for those who will be giving birth the first time. This is to avoid putting both the mother and the baby's life at risk. One of the best when it comes to pre-natal preparation is by readying the perineum which is also known as the pelvic floor. This reduces the chances of tearing and promises a more comfortable delivery and recovery. Perineum massage can help increase the flexibility of the mother's body. This should be performed everyday on the last month of pregnancy.

Exercises can also contribute to tone and prepare the muscles aside from perineum massage. One of those is the Kegel exercises which are designed to help support the organs in the pelvic area. Like perineum massage, this should be done daily but throughout the pregnancy. Squatting, tailor sitting and pelvic tilt will also get your body ready for childbirth. All these guarantee great benefits without too much effort so consult your doctor, ready everything and make sure that you and your baby are safe on the day of your labor.
