All You Need To Know About The Steps To Make Childbirth Easier

Childbirth is not easy. You may also face constipation as most of the food is fed by the baby, Labour can also be stressful and painful for the mother, but here are some tips which may make the delivery easier:

SLEEP: Labour pain can take a toll on the mind and the body. So, full rest and good sleep are essential for the mother.
SNACK CAREFULLY: According to PARENTS, fatty and hard to digest foods must be avoided during pregnancy because a too-full stomach can contribute to nausea during later the active stages of labour. Muscle contractions and rapid breathing during labour can also cause the body to lose fluids rather quickly. It is better to drink clear liquids if one is labouring at home, and, once one reaches the hospital it is essential to let the caregivers know when you feel dehydrated.
BREATH COORDINATION: According to an article by tiny step practising breathing techniques helps in easing the labour. It also helps to keep the mind calm and reduces stress.
STAYING MOBILE AND FIT: Movement can help progress the labour and relieve discomfort. Women need much stamina to get through labour, and regular exercise can help. American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommends that moms-to-be should get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week, according to an article by Thebump. Regular workouts can also reduce workouts and excessive weight gain during pregnancy.
MASSAGE: Massages can prove to be good at any point during pregnancy but getting a massage during the early stages of labour gives extra relief. Even something as simple as a scalp massage can do wonders to relax the entire body.

Knowledge Is Power: Empowering Women To Assert Their Rights At Home & Outside Of It

Propelled by

Vivel - #AbSamjhautaNahin

We are living in the 21st century and as a society, we have made tremendous progress in every field. One of the drastic progress we have seen in the present time is in the status of women in the society. From being considered a second-class citizen to now walking shoulder-to-shoulder with men, women enjoy a much better situation.

While one cannot undermine the advancement made in this direction, one can also not deny that a lot is yet to be done. Women still face harassment, which may be physical, mental, emotional, sexual or economical, both inside and outside of their homes.

While there are specific laws to protect one from any such incidents of harassment, but do we really understand them?

The importance of awareness and knowledge can never be emphasised enough. If you have the awareness, you will always be able to stand up against any injustice, not just for yourself, but for others too.

ITC Vivel, recognising this problem of lack of awareness among women about their rights, has launched an initiative “Know Your Rights” under its flagship campaign #AbSamjhautaNahin. ITC Vivel believes that for a more equal society, awareness of legal rights is the first step towards empowering and protecting women. Hence they have also designed a website www.absamjhautanahin.com, available in both English and Hindi, for a simplified understanding of laws around women’s rights.

Eminent Supreme Court advocate Ms Karuna Nundy, who played an active role in the framing of anti-rape laws and has been arguing cases to change the legal stance on marital rape, has joined this amazing initiative. Vivel, with its Know Your Rights initiative and Karuna Nundy, believe that legal knowledge of the civil and criminal law will help transform women’s personal power in relationships and with institutions, police and courts.

The first video in this series elaborates on equality at work and at home. Their endeavour is to simplify the nuances of basic rights that women should be aware of with Ms. Nundy’s expertise in an innovative easy-to-comprehend approach.

The Logical Indian appreciates Vivel and Ms Karuna Nundy for taking up this initiative to make everyone aware of their rights and laws protecting them in such a beautiful way.
