What helps in quick labour and delivering

Question

I'm 34 weeks and was wondering what can I do to not have a prolonged labor and no go over due date? It's my first child. I'm planning to go as natural my pain threshold would allow me. I have tried to stay as active as I could. Anything else that I can add.

Answer

Nothing. Baby’s come when they come.

Answer

It's hard to say as every pregnancy and labour are completely different. I had three hospital births and one home birth, all gas an air as my pain threshold is really good so only needed gas and air around 7/8cm dilated. Also I've had a home birth which was absolutely fantastic only needed the midwife for the last few cm. But yeah i went over my due dates with my four children from 6 days to 12 days. I've also been induced which was horrible that's a route even i wouldn't want to go down again.

Answer

Hello. The more relaxed you are the less likely it is that your labour will stall or slow down. It will probably also be a little less painful. You can do things to create an appropriate birth atmosphere like keeping the lights dim, playing relaxing music, keeping noise low, breathing exercises and not allowing anyone to come and go from the room unless they need to (such as a midwife or doctor coming to check on you). Other things that help are keeping active and changing position when you feel uncomfortable :) x

Answer

There is nothing you can do that'll make you go into labor before your due date. Baby will come when baby is ready.
Staying active is good to help your body being ready for labor. It should make it easier and quicker to go through labor.
Staying calm and relaxed will keep those contractions keep coming. Oxytocin is what produces contractions and skin to skin and kisses and everything like that produces oxytocin..
I think practicing breathing will help a great deal to get through the pain of the contractions.

Answer

You can't say you won't go.past due date or your labor won't be so long your body will tell you when it's ready and baby to you maybe ready mentally physically and emotionally but in reality it's all baby and body that have to.be ready some ftm go right on due date or a couple days before or even a week or two after it just depends on your body and your baby you my have a fast labor just like you.may be in labor for 24 hours no one can't be for sure on that no one really knows
