Coping Techniques ⬇️ Coping techniques for active labor can help manage pain, reduce anxiety, and maintain focus. A popular framework is the 3 R’s: Relaxation, Rhythm, and Ritual, which work together to help laboring individuals cope effectively. Here’s how to apply them, along with other techniques: 1. The 3 R’s of Labor Coping 	1.	Relaxation 	•	Focus on releasing tension in your muscles during and between contractions. 	•	Use deep breathing techniques, such as slow, controlled inhales and exhales. 	•	Practice visualization, imagining a calm place or your body opening for the baby. 	•	Gentle touch or massage from a partner or doula can help maintain relaxation. 	2.	Rhythm 	•	Establish a steady pattern to help you stay grounded. This could include rhythmic breathing, swaying, rocking, or moaning. 	•	Use repetitive movements like pacing, bouncing on a birth ball, or tapping a foot. 	•	Listening to rhythmic music or focusing on the sound of your own breath can also help. 	3.	Ritual 	•	Create a routine that you return to with each contraction, such as holding a partner’s hand, squeezing a stress ball, or repeating a mantra (e.g., “I can do this”). 	•	Rituals provide familiarity and comfort, helping you feel in control. 2. Additional Coping Techniques 	•	Breathing Techniques: Use patterns like slow breathing, light breathing, or a “pant-pant-blow” rhythm. 	•	Movement and Position Changes: Walking, squatting, lunging, or using a birthing ball can ease discomfort and encourage progress. 	•	Hydrotherapy: Laboring in a warm bath or shower can relax muscles and reduce pain. 	•	Counterpressure: Apply firm pressure to the lower back or hips during contractions. 	•	Vocalization: Low moaning or humming helps release tension and focus energy. 	•	Focal Points and Visualization: Focus on a specific object, photo, or calming image in your mind. 	•	TENS Unit: Electrical stimulation on your back can provide relief for some people. Encourage your birth partner or doula to remind you of the 3 R’s and adapt coping strategies as labor progresses. Every labor is unique, so experiment with what feels most effective in the moment.

Replying to @makennzie.shay Symptoms you shouldn’t ignore ⬇️ Physical Symptoms 	1.	High Blood Pressure Blood pressure readings of 140/90 mm Hg or higher, typically on two occasions at least four hours apart. 	2.	Swelling (Edema)  Sudden or severe swelling, especially in the face, hands, or around the eyes. Mild swelling in the legs and feet is common in pregnancy, but preeclampsia swelling is more pronounced. 	3.	Severe Headaches Persistent headaches that don’t improve with usual remedies. 	4.	Changes in Vision Blurred vision, seeing spots or flashing lights, or temporary loss of vision. 	5.	Upper Abdominal Pain Pain or tenderness, usually under the ribs on the right side. 	6.	Nausea or Vomiting Particularly when it occurs after mid-pregnancy and is unrelated to morning sickness. 	7.	Shortness of Breath Caused by fluid in the lungs (a sign of severe preeclampsia). 	8.	Decreased Urine Output A sign that the kidneys might be affected. 	9.	Sudden Weight Gain Rapid weight gain over a few days due to fluid retention. Signs Detected by Medical Tests 	•	Protein in Urine (Proteinuria): Indicates kidney involvement. 	•	Abnormal Liver Function Tests: Can indicate liver stress or damage. 	•	Low Platelet Count: Suggests blood clotting issues. 	•	Signs of Kidney Damage: Reduced urine production or abnormal kidney test results. What to Do If you experience any symptoms of preeclampsia, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Severe cases can lead to complications for both mother and baby, such as eclampsia (seizures), HELLP syndrome, or preterm birth. Early diagnosis and monitoring are critical!  #childbirth #childbirthtips #childbirtheducation #preeclampsia #preeclampsiaawareness #birthdoula #birthcoach

The “I told you so” keeps women frozen in fight, flight or freeze when they end up in a situationship where a decision that COULD be empowering ends up making her suffer.  So pitch in for a Doula, recommended readings, a Hypnobirthing course or something useful for her!  Don’t discourage her because of your biases 🫶 #childbirth #childbirthtips #childbirtheducation #birth #birthdoula #birthcoach
