💟💟

                              DURING PREGNANCY, IT IS NORMAL TO EXPERIENCE SWELLING IN THE FEET, LEGS AND HANDS THAT MAKES THE SKIN FEEL TIGHT. THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD IN BODY INCREASES ABOUT 40 PERCENT. IN ADDITION, THE BODY NATURALLY HOLDS WATER. THE HEART NEEDS TO WORK HARDER TO CIRCULATE THIS EXTRA FLUID. FOR ABOUT ONE OUT OF THE THREE WOMEN, SWELLING OF THE HANDS AND FEET OCCURS DURING THE LAST THREE MONTHS OF PREGNANCY AND IS OFTEN GREATER DURING HOT WATER. SOME SWELLING OR PUFFINESS IS NOT UNUSUAL OR SERIOUS, BUT IT CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE.

                            OPENING - UP

                             DELIVERY TIME

 

                                       THIS IS THE STAGE WHERE THE MOUTH OF THE UTERNUS OPENS FULLYS SO THAT IT CAN ACCOMODATE THE HEAD OF THE BABY AND ALLOW THE BABY TO PASS DOWN THE GENITAL CANAL AT THE MOMENT OF BIRTH. THE MOUTH OF THE UTERNUS DILATES AS A RESULT OF THE CONTRACTION OF THE UTERINE MUSCLES.

                   YOGIC ACTIVITY

                             AT THE BEGINNING OF THE OPENING-UP PERIOD, WHEN THE CONTRACTIONS ARE INFREQUENT AND NOT VERY STRONG, THE MOTHER SHOULD RELAX, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PRACTISING DEEP ABDOMINAL BREATHING ALSO CALLED YOGIC BREATHING. BETWEEN CONTRACTIONS, YOU SHOULD TRY TO CONTINUE BREATHING DEEPLY AND REGULARLY, FOR ON A PHYSICAL LEVEL, THIS WILL ENSURE THE OPTIMAL OXYGEN SUPPLY REQUIRED FOR YOURSELF AND THE BABY. THIS TECHNIQUE OF DEEP RHYTHMIC BREATHING ENSURES A HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING OF THE WHOLE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE BRAIN, AND HELPS, ON A PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVEL, TO CALM THE EMOTIONS AND CREATE A FEELING OF WELL-BEING . WHEN THE CONTRACTIONS CONTINUE FOR A LONGER PERIOD AND BECOME MORE FREQUENT, YOU SHOULD AVOID ABDOMINAL BREATHING, AND SIMPLY PERFORM MIDDLE CHEST BREATHING.

                             EXPULSION

                            THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE FULL OPENING OF MOUTH OF THE UTERUS AND THE BIRTH OF THE BABY IS KNOWN AS EXPULSION. IT LASTS SOME 10 TI 20 MINUTES, BUT CAN BE LONGER OR SHORTER.

                                 YOGIC ACTIVITY

                                      THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD OF EXPULSION, THE MOTHER SHOULD PUSH DURING CONTRACTIONS AND RELAX BETWEEN THEM, IN ORDER TO MUSTER YOUR ENERGY FOR WHEN YOU NEXT PUSH. AT THIS POINT, HAVING EXHALED, YOU SHOULD INHALE DEEPLY, AND WITH FULL LUNGS AND A CLOSED MOUTH AND GLOTTIS, CONTRACT THE ABDOMINAL MUSCLES AND PUSH. EXHALATION THROUGH THE MOUTH SHOULD SOUND LIKE A SIGH OF RELIEF. AN EFFECTIVE WAY OF CONTINUING TO PUSH IS TO EXHALE SLOWLY THROUGH THE NOSE, MAKING SURED THE GLOTTIS IS PARTLY CLOSED. YOU SHOULD PUSH AGAINST YOUR BREATH WHEN CONTRACTING THE ABDOMINAL MUSCLES AND LOWERING THE DIAPHRAGM. THIS WAY OF ADJUSTING THE GLOTTIS IS TAUGHT IN THIS BOOK WHILE PRACTISING UJJAI PRANAYAMA. IT ENABLES YOU TO REGULATE THE AMOUNT OF AIR YOU EXHALE AND TO PUSH LONGER WITHOUT BECOMING OUT OF BREATH OR USING UP ENERGY IN VAIN. AS YOU LET OUT THE BREATH THROUGH THE NOSE, A LOW CONTINUES SOUND IS EMITTED. WHEN THE HEAD IS EXPELLED, YOU SHOULD INHALE AND EXHALE, DEEPLY AND REGULARLY PERFORMING MIDDLE AND UPPER-CHEST RESPIRATION (WITHOUT ABDOMINAL BREATHING). FOLLOWING THE INTRUCTIONS OF THE DOCTOR OR MIDWIFE, THE MOTHER SHOULD THEN RESUME PUSHING SLIGHTLY, SO THAT THE REST OF THE CHILD'S BODY SLIPS OUT, AND THE BABY IS BORN. THIS IS THE THIRD STAGE OF CHILD BIRTH CALLED DELIVERY.
