There is a simple breathing exercise that can greatly reduce the duration of pain during childbirth. Three main reasons of the muscular spasms during childbirth relate to abnormally big breathing (or chronic hyperventilation) of pregnant women during delivery. Overbreathing, as hundreds of medical studies found, does not increase tissue oxygenation. Vice versa, it causes reduced perfusion of all vital tissues, their lowered cellular oxygenation, and irritable state of the muscle cells. If one ever experiences constipation, it is easy to check the effects of this breathing exercise. How? Normally, during elimination, the descending colon and all subsequent muscles function together, as a well-trained team. Constipation happens as a result of local spasms due to strained muscles and poor oxygenation. Suggested practical actions Relax all muscles (too much strain can lead to diverticuli). Such relaxation will produce spontaneous exhalation. At the end of this exhalation hold your breath as long as you comfortably can. Inhale a small amount of air and breathe during next 1-2 min in a slow, shallow, relaxed manner with constant air hunger. If no progress (rare, but possible), repeat the procedure. How does it work? Decreased ventilation leads to gradual accumulation of carbon dioxide in the lungs, blood, and all body tissues. Since carbon dioxide is a relaxant of all smooth muscles (see physiological textbooks), a dilator of the arteries, and a catalyst of chemical release of oxygen from haemoglobin cells in tissues (the Bohr effect), its elevated level naturally produces muscular relaxation and oxygenation removing the spasm and bringing relief. The same practical actions can reduce the spasm and shorten the childbirth by 2-3 times. If a pregnant women has superior body oxygenation 24/7 (over 60 s of oxygen 24/7 as measured by the stress-free breath holding time after usual exhalation), than she will not experience any muscular spasms and have painless childbirth. More details about painless childbirth are provided in my other Ezine articles “Painless childbirth: reality for hundreds of Russian women” and “Physiological mechanism of painless childbirth”.

ABOUT THE AUTHORDr. Artour Rakhimov (www.normalbreathing.com) teaches breathing retraining and educates the world about importance of normal breathing and the deep breathing myth: over 97% people have a fantasy that a deep breathing pattern increases body oxygenation. For example, sick people typically breathe 2-3 times more than the norm and have, as a result of chronic hyperventilation, REDUCED body oxygenation. Even majority of healthy people breathe much more than the medical norms these days with devastating health effects.
