That normal birth hurts a lot and is a relatively painful procedure we all know. But we also know that the number of women who have gone through the experience and endured it very well, and wish to have their next children in the same way.
For those who do not deal with pain so well, there is the option (some maternities do not give the option, just apply) to take epidural analgesia that will reduce the pain. This, in turn, makes Mom recover her strengths lost during contractions and helps her breath to return to the time of expulsion.

Obviously, follow-up should also be done, but always with specialized doctors who are prepared to deliver this type of delivery. Soaking baths, walking , relaxing massages are great suggestions for the moment of labor and to bring tranquility to mom. Some even resort to acupuncture, which is also proven to be of great benefit and considerably reduce pain and discomfort during this period.
