1. Prioritize prenatal checkups and healthcare
This ensures accurate assessment of the mother's physical condition, facilitates appropriate delivery planning, and effectively prevents complications.
2. Maintain moderate exercise throughout pregnancy
Consistent exercise during pregnancy enhances endurance, confidence, and focus while toning muscles and building strength, potentially easing the delivery process.
3. Understand the birthing process correctly
As the due date approaches, attentively listen to prenatal education from medical staff and learn about the entire physiological process of childbirth. Strive to eliminate and overcome fear and mental concerns, strengthening confidence in the delivery.
4. Maintain Normal Daily Routines Before Labor
Continue regular eating, drinking, bowel movements, and sleep. After intense contractions deplete energy, eat promptly to replenish strength and ensure sufficient labor power.
6. Family support and encouragement
Most hospitals in China now have labor rooms where family members can stay nearby to cheer on the mother. Spousal support is particularly effective in alleviating anxiety.
