Yoga poses that increase contractions
If you want labor to speed up with contractions, you have to know these yoga poses.

Sometimes changing body position or doing yoga can help increase contractions to advance labor, making it a safe alternative to using contraction-inducing medications, which can sometimes cause heartbeat changes heart failure, fainting, headache and vomiting … Yoga is often recommended for women during the last months of pregnancy as it can help them stay in shape and prepare the body for childbirth.
Although if you have started labor, have contractions but are not dilating and the doctor has prescribed certain medications to speed up the process, you will have to follow the instructions and advice of the hospital’s medical staff . Think that medical personnel only want to look after your health and that of your baby, and. Perhaps waiting too long for your little one to come out could be dangerous for both him and you. What is an idea is that you do yoga days before you are due to reach your due date, in this way you will have the body more worked and it will be easier to carry out a good labor.

PRACTICE ABDOMINAL BREATHING
Practice abdominal breathing during preterm labor, when the contractions have just started and are not yet intense. Sit cross- legged , close your eyes, and breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, while staying relaxed.
HOLD YOUR HANDS ON THE LOWER PART OF YOUR ABDOMEN
Hold your hands on your lower abdomen and move your pelvis in a slow, circular motion and imagine your baby moving into the birth canal. You can help your baby move to the pelvis and relieve back and pelvic pain .
KNEEL ON THE BED
Kneel in bed or on the floor with someone to help you stay stable and use slow, circular movements with your hips to reduce pain, help push the baby down, and dilate the cervix.
Stay in a kneeling position and keep them more open than your belly, touch your big toes together and lie back on your heels. Rest your arms on a birthing balloon. This yoga position helps allow gravity to pull the baby toward the cervix.
DO A DEEP SQUAT
Squat deep when you go further in your labor. Have your partner in labor sit in a chair, while you lie on top of that person, with your knees open and crouching down. Working in this yoga position works to widen the pelvis , shorten the birth canal, and lower your baby’s head to further dilate the cervix.
DO NOT FORGET
Don’t forget to check with your obstetrician or midwife before trying any yoga position during labor. .. Perhaps for your health for whatever reasons it is better not to do yoga , but to find out you will have to talk to your doctor to avoid doing exercises or positions that could harm your health or harm your body in any way.
In case the doctor believes that it is better to be administered medications to accelerate the labor process, he values that his opinion is professional and if he advises you it is because he believes that of all the solutions these are the best due to the circumstances that you have at that specific moment.
