Natural childbirth also involves the most natural pain relief. And one of these non-drug methods is self-massage. It is convenient: a woman in labor does not depend on another person and is able, listening to her own feelings, to alleviate her condition in labor. It is effective because it not only improves blood circulation in the massaged area (and through the nerve endings - in the corresponding internal organs), but also contributes to relaxation, rest of the muscles, in the end, it simply distracts from what is happening somewhere nearby. Finally, it is simply useful, since it has a beneficial effect not only on the parts of the body involved in childbirth, but also on the central nervous system generally.
Stroking
How to do. Place both palms on the stomach above the bosom. With your fingertips, lightly stroke from the center to the sides of the abdomen and up. The same can be done by stroking the skin in the lumbosacral region. Here, the whole palm is usually involved, and the movements are circular, more intense. There are many nerve endings in the lumbosacral area that go to the uterus, so massage here has an excellent analgesic effect.
When to do. In the first stage of labor, when the contractions are not yet very strong. The abdomen is stroked at the beginning of the contraction, and the lower back is stroked when it intensifies.
Trituration
How to do. You can rub it with your palm, the edge of your palm, and even with your fist. Rubbing should be gentle if the contractions are still light, and very intense when the pain is such that you want to scream. Strong rubbing, up to a feeling of heat in the massaged area, distracts from pain - it seems to dissipate over the surface of the abdomen or back and becomes less intense.
When to do. During palpable contractions. At the peak of the contraction, it is very effective for pain relief to literally “cut” the area of the inguinal folds (on the side of the lower abdomen) with the edge of the palm of your hand. But between contractions, touching the abdomen is not recommended, so as not to provoke extraordinary muscle contractions.
pressing
How to do. For anesthesia, the skin must be pressed very intensively, literally pressing - with fingers or a fist. The most effective pressure is at the lateral angles of the sacral rhombus and at the inner surface of the iliac crests. The first place is on the back just above the place where it is not recommended to sit during childbirth, these are two attractive dimples on both sides of the spine. The second area - the ilium - in anorexic fashion models, they usually act as touching "moss" on both sides of the abdomen. If you put your palms on the belt, then with your thumbs it is convenient to press the skin of the abdomen against the inner surface of the anterior superior iliac spines.
When to do. During fights. The impact should be intense - only in this case the receptors of the skin, muscles, bones are strongly involved, and the impulses from them will drown out the pain. In the case when there are no assistants, you can even use improvised means. For example, to find the desired area and rest it against something solid, using the door handle or window sill as a “massager”. It is not scary if you find bruises in these areas after childbirth - this indicates that the massage was quite effective.
Shiatsu (acupressure)
How to do. Biologically active points are scattered throughout our body, by clicking on which we can calm down, cheer up, anesthetize a certain part of the body. Hands during the massage should be warm. Pressing on the desired point occurs continuously and strictly perpendicular to the surface of the skin. For a calming effect on the point, press for 3-5 minutes, smoothly, slowly, gradually, increasing in circular motions. Tonic massage is short, intermittent, strong pressure for 1 minute.
In childbirth, shiatsu is most often used at two points: the heigu, which is located on the back of the hand at the point where the metacarpal bones of the thumb and forefinger converge, and the sixth splenic, located on the inside of the lower leg, four fingers above the inner ankle.
When to do. During contractions, especially if the pain is severe enough or the contractions are ineffective. The impact on the haig points and the sixth splenic intensifies contractions due to the faster opening of the cervix. But the pain does not get worse. The pressure on the points should not be smooth, but fast, strong, as with a tonic massage.
Relaxation massage
How to do? Stroking massage movements are done gently, easily, in the direction from the periphery of the body to its center. Hands can be dry or lubricated with various oils or gels with an anesthetic effect for better glide. And be sure - warm, so as not to provoke muscle tension. So you can stroke the back, the area of the sacrum. Massage of the neck-collar zone is very effective for relaxation.
When to do? Between contractions, when you need to completely relax and rest.
It is convenient when there is a loved one nearby during childbirth who can help the expectant mother with pain-relieving massage. But even the presence of a husband or mother does not guarantee that the massage will bring relief and joy, it will be exactly the way you want. Instead of being distracted and relaxing, the expectant mother will have to control the intensity of the impact, local pressure, manage: “Now massage, and now wait.” In a word, sometimes it is more useful to take your well-being into your own hands in the literal sense - rubbing and pressing with deft fingers exactly as the soul and body asks, and exactly where you need it.

How and why does massage help?
Pain during childbirth begins with the first contractions and gradually increases. It is known that it is caused primarily by contraction of the uterus, dilatation of the cervix and stretching of the birth canal. And the closer to the time of birth, the more painful.
But already before the birth of a child, when it comes time to push, the pain changes its character. It is already associated with pressure on the vagina, rectum, and some women find it no longer so painful. Yes, and at this time there is no time to relax and tune in, but only a few minutes of hard work remain. 
Therefore, our article is devoted to massage precisely in the first stage of childbirth, when the birth canal is being prepared for the passage of a child through it, and the mother requires maximum patience and the right psychological attitude.
In this period, oddly enough, little depends on doctors. And best of all, mommy can help herself. Her mood should be the most calm and confident in the success of the upcoming enterprise.
Periods of contractions alternate with periods of absolute rest, and the pain is not constant. There is time to relax and have a massage that affects the entire nervous system.
You transmit information through the skin to the brain, which should form the right reaction for you and alleviate the condition. The brain begins to stimulate the release of the necessary enzymes and hormones into the bloodstream, which adapt the body to stress and act as a natural pain reliever. But not only in this effect of massage. It enhances blood circulation in organs and tissues, which in itself is an anesthetic and at the same time prevents oxygen starvation in a child.

Miraculous touches
DFor many successful mothers, it is no secret that you can give birth without any pain! The recipe for childbirth in pleasure is suggested by nature itself - this massage!
If you ask women who have already become mothers about whether childbirth is painful, the answers may surprise you. Of course, many will predictably confirm the most common opinion that childbirth is accompanied by quite intense pain. Such “memories” account for about 70-75% of total number respondents. Most often, these are either women with a relatively low pain threshold, or those who practically did not prepare for childbirth. However, it is not uncommon for cases when the process of childbirth turned out to be somewhat uncomfortable rather than painful. Sometimes you can hear the opinion that, they say, the real pain was expected, but never did. There are about 25% of such women in labor. This is the category of future mothers who prepare for upcoming events in advance, collect constructive, positive information about pregnancy and childbirth, perceive what is happening as a natural physiological process. If there is advance preparation, gaining a positive attitude towards childbirth, the chances of getting into this group increase. And, finally, there are about 1 percent of "lucky women" in whom childbirth is accompanied by a state of euphoria, and they want to give birth multiple times. These are women with a fairly high pain threshold, and their body reacts to childbirth in this way. Of course, it is difficult to get into such a small percentage, however, if you do not set yourself up for childbirth as obviously painful, and in no other way, then everything is possible. In any case, childbirth is rewarded with a wonderful result, for which it is worth working hard - the first cry of a newly born baby, the first hugs with mom.
Strokes and company
It is impossible to know in advance for sure how the birth will take place. Therefore, the best option is to have practical skills that help manage the sensations in childbirth, control their intensity. What does pain relief massage help with? Its essence is the impact on zones equipped with many nerve endings, as a result of which pleasant sensations enter the brain for processing much faster than pain from a contraction. So we can, as it were, outwit our body and ... speed up the long-awaited meeting with the baby.
1. At the time of the contraction, the muscles of the uterus tighten. Following them are the muscles that surround the uterus: the press, back, lower back. This extra tension can cause the expectant mother to feel pain in the areas of tension. In order to alleviate these sensations, it is necessary to relax tense muscles. To do this, massage the abdominal muscles from the bottom up with smooth stretching movements.
2. If the tension is focused in the upper abdomen, direct the massage movements from top to bottom.
3-4. Often the most sensitive area is the lower back. To relieve pain in this area, rubbing vertical massage movements along the spine will help you. Mommy, leaning on a chair, will be helped by transverse rubbing of the lower back.
5. Excessive tension in the muscles of the whole body leads to the fact that contractions can be experienced more painfully. To relieve tension, use relaxing massage movements. Start by massaging the neck and shoulder girdle.
6. Rubbing the thighs helps to both relax and distract from the sensation of contraction.
7. Another option for analgesic effects is to massage the lumbar area of mommy, who is in an upright position.
8. Relieve pain impact on pain points in the region of the lateral peaks of the sacrum - this is the area where the dimples are located.
9. Anesthetize and press with your fingers on the points located on the inside of the palm of the woman in labor.
10. During a contraction, due to the redistribution of blood circulation, a woman in labor may feel chills, her hands and feet are especially cold. Massage will help to warm the chilled limbs. First, gently massage each finger, then the entire foot. In addition to warming, such a massage has a relaxing effect, helps to establish contact in a pair of moms and dads that are about to take place.
Painkiller for myself
With an anesthetic purpose, you can independently influence the points and zones of the tummy and back.
1. Find the most prominent area pelvic bones. Then press it with your fingers, thus determining the most painful area. It must be affected during the fight so that the pain becomes quite noticeable.
2. Place your hands on the sides of the abdomen and make smoothing movements from the bottom up or from the top down. During exposure, try to slightly delve into the tense muscles of the uterus with the ribs of the palms - so rubbing will be more effective.
3. Another option for rubbing the tummy - place your hands closer to the center of the abdomen and perform circular motions.
4. You can independently influence the lumbar region. To do this, perform rubbing vertical movements with your hands or massage the dimples in the sacrum with the outer part of the fists.
Let's focus on relaxation
In the pauses between contractions, lie down comfortably or sit down and try to relax all muscle groups. This is especially true for the face. There is a direct relationship between the tension of the facial muscles, especially the mouth, and the speed of opening of the uterine os. If the mouth is clamped, the face is tense - the cervix is \u200b\u200balso like in a vise. It turns out that we want to give birth faster, but we do not give ourselves the opportunity to do this. The kid is “knocking” on the closed door. There are several tricks that can be useful for relaxation. From the outside, it looks like a massage from a beautician.
1. With light finger movements, smooth the skin of the forehead in the direction from the center to the temples.
2. Put your fingers on both sides of the wings of the nose and stroke your face towards the temples.
3. Relax the lower part of the face and the area around the mouth with patting movements with your fingers.
4. Both between contractions and during them, make jerky pressure on the point that affects the contractility of the uterus. It is located between the thumb and forefinger of the hand. If you have found the point correctly, feel pain when pressed.
Legs to help
It happens that in childbirth there is a situation when it is necessary to speed up the process. Better - acting on active points, which has a stimulating effect on the contractility of the uterus.
1. Feel for the bone on the inside of your ankle. Mentally draw a triangle upside down around the bone. Press on these peaks - these points are very painful.
2. Another option is to determine point I on the outer surface of the lower leg as follows: place your palm above the bone on the lower leg. Four fingers above this bone - a painful area is expressed, which is affected during the fight. These techniques can help when a doctor checks during a contraction.
Massage is very effective, safe and nice way reduce the pain of contractions. During childbirth, you can use self-massage techniques, but it would be better if a loved one helps you. The assistant should be well prepared and be sure to practice in advance. Massage has a beneficial effect on the condition of the pregnant woman, relieving back pain, so such training will be doubly beneficial. Starting from the third trimester, it makes sense to practice regularly and comprehensively in order to master the birth positions and do anesthetic massage in them.
What are we massaging?
There is an area on a woman's body that is of particular importance for labor pain relief. This is « Michaelis rhombus» . If you look at the area of the back above the buttocks, you can see a rhombus figure, the upper point of which corresponds to the fifth lumbar vertebra, the lower one to the beginning of the intergluteal fold, the lateral points to the pits on both sides of the I–II sacral vertebra on the posterior inferior iliac spine. Study the drawings with an assistant and find this area on your body. To remember its location, try to practice pain relief massage regularly. Then at any time you or your assistant can easily find the “right place” for a massage.
Pain relief massage is especially effective when combined with birth postures. All postures and massage techniques can be studied in detail by watching our video tutorial, the section "Birth Postures and Pain Relieving Massage".
How to massage
So, take any generic position and start training:
- Massage with the pads of the thumbs of the pits - the lateral points of the Michaelis rhombus. The movements can be push and release or circular, try different ones and choose the ones that make you feel the most comfortable. But practice everything, so during childbirth, your preferences may suddenly change. The impact can be quite strong or very light - be guided by the wishes of the expectant mother.
- Acupressure with two fingers of the sacral openings on both sides of the sacrum. These are the outer sides of the lower triangle of the Michaelis rhombus. It is most convenient to perform this technique with the middle fingers of both hands, symmetrically. Movements: pressing or circular, adjust the degree of pressure.
- Rolling fists on both sides of the sacrum, in the region of lateral points (pits) of the rhombus. Determine the most comfortable degree of pressure, during childbirth, be prepared to increase it.
- Massage with fists in the area of the center of the buttocks and in the region of the iliac crests;
- Michaelis rhombus massage with palms: put one palm on the diamond, press without moving the skin, place the second palm on top of the first crosswise. You can lightly press and release, or you can simply warm this area with your palms.
- "Opening" the pelvis with the palms- place two palms on both sides of the spine on a rhombus, then spread the bases of the palms outward, sliding over the skin.
- Pressing the "cups" of the palms on the pits - the lateral points of the Michaelis rhombus and their warming up, massage with the palms of the iliac crests;
- Pressure on the sacrum- put the palm of one hand on the other and press on the sacrum, gradually increasing the pressure by five counts, and also gradually weakening the pressure by five counts. This technique will help with strong contractions.
- Sawing- with the edge of the palm, rub the lower back and sacrum in a zigzag manner - while inhaling - from top to bottom, while exhaling - from bottom to top.
What else can be done to relax and relieve pain during childbirth?
The Michaelis rhombus is a very important, but not the only area that can be massaged during childbirth. You may also like other tricks. Just try them too.
For example, stroking the back with fingers and palms Between contractions, it relieves tension and promotes better relaxation:
- stroking the back of the fingers of the back up along the spine and down the sides;
- stroking with open palms on the back and hips
Pay Special attention on the palm. Between the bases of the III and IV fingers is projection point of the uterus. By massaging this area, you can significantly reduce the pain at the peak of the contraction.
Try to make it easy facial massage with fingertips. This will give the expectant mother a pleasant feeling and a little distraction between contractions.
Can knead the palms of the hands and feet; large muscles of the shoulder, thigh, buttocks, legs. This will warm and relieve muscle tension caused by contractions.
Husband in childbirth - what to do for an assistant
In conclusion, let's give a few more recommendations for a birth assistant. Your help is very important and needed by the expectant mother. Be prepared for the fact that at some point any touch that just brought relief may suddenly become unpleasant, and you will hear formidable "Don't touch!". This is normal and quite natural for a woman in childbirth. After a couple of minutes, you may again be asked to stroke here, press harder there, etc.
Be patient, kind and sensitive to any wishes. Try to relax as much as possible and tune in a positive way. May your heart be filled with love and your hands with warmth. Let the woman lead her own birth, helping her and protecting her peace. The touch of hands loved one calm down future mother and help you relax better. And this means that childbirth will be easier.
