Attend pre - birth courses.

To face these fears from the second trimester of pregnancy it is useful to start attending a course of preparation for childbirth practiced by obstetricians in collaboration with gynecologists carried out at hospitals and public consultants In this way many anxieties are reduced through the possibility of clarifying one's doubts and get accurate information. The lessons are both theoretical and practical concerning both the care of the baby and the post-partum phases, also based on relaxation and breathing techniques to face a hypothetical labor more serenely. One of the most used techniques is autogenic training, based on the principle of positive somatization, that is, on the evidence that the mind is able to influence the state of the body not only in a negative way, but to produce a state of relaxation induced through a inward concentration direction technique, similar to the hypnosis method. Learning this technique and its constant practice from the first months of pregnancy can represent a way to face the moment of childbirth more serenely.
