Sophrology

I took a class about Sophrology at NAKA ladies clinic today. Sophrology's concept is that we should relax when we give birth. Of course giving birth is painful, but If you can relax then baby can get out more easily. If you feel tense or be nervous, birth canal will be just tight and it will be difficult to give oxygen to your baby. We learn '' Of course giving birth is painful, but we should relax and we should think about baby when we give birth. If you can think about your baby you will think I have to relax for baby then baby can come out more smooth and easily.'' We watched a video that pregnant ladies are giving birth with Sophrology style. They seem really relaxed and not scream at all. The delivering is totally different from TV or drama.
We have to have image training and training for breathing.



I can not explain well, so please check this website for more info.
