There are many people in pain due to menstrual cramps and they ask themselves this question. The answer depends on your physical health before pregnancy, lifestyle habits, and stress levels as well as which stage of pregnancy you are in. Start getting your body prepared now so you can avoid most of the pain when the time comes.
6 months before
The anticipation of your baby's arrival can sometimes be overshadowed by thoughts of labor pains. This can cause you to feel like you're unable to fully enjoy the time leading up to your bundle of joy's entry into this world. So let's tackle this thing once and for all.
1 month before
It's important to start practicing before baby arrives to minimize surprises. Make sure you get a great night's sleep as often as possible in your last trimester. Relaxing with a hot bath is wonderful for easing aches and pains, but avoid tubs that are too deep or too long for you. Spend some time each day performing pelvic floor muscle exercises to prevent or lessen incontinence.
Entering week 38
Around week 38 or 40 of pregnancy, many women feel shortness of breath and tightness in their chest. This could signal that your baby has dropped into position, which often begins labor. In some cases this may be a sign of impending preterm labor, but more often it's just discomfort caused by the baby's position as it pushes on your rib cage.
Stay with your husband until you deliver
I am in need of a solution for my pregnant wife. My wife has been in excruciating pain for days. The cause of her extreme discomfort is simple - an unborn baby. What can I do to help my wife so she does not have to suffer any longer than necessary?
The answer to this question is tough love. If your wife wants you to help her deliver that baby, you need to make sure she sticks it out until the baby arrives.
Physical problems after delivery
There are physical problems after delivery. A big problem for most mothers is the leakage of urine or stool that comes out after birth. This can happen from injury to your anal or urethral sphincter or from tearing in your perineum during labor and delivery. The solution to this problem is wearing pads at all times to catch urine leaks as they occur and while sleeping overnight to avoid having a bowel movement during the night.
Emotional problems after delivery
With labor (or a c-section) complete, the mother's body can feel really sore. Doctors typically give her medication to help with this but she may still experience a variety of aches and pains for days or weeks after. It can take up to six weeks before muscles start feeling normal again. There's an increased risk of getting urinary tract infections and these can take months to fully heal too.
