<b>(الأوكسيتوسين)</b><br />
الأوكسيتوسين هو هرمون الذي ينتج في الدماغ و يزداد تدريجيا خلال فترة الحمل.<br />
ويسمى الأوكسيتوسين بـ"هرمون الحب والعلاقات الإجتماعية "، و يساعدنا على
الشعور السلمي و الحنان والتعاطف، ويساعدنا
على الانتقال إلى الجانب الأيمن ( غير عقلاني) من دماغنا. الأوكسيتوسين هو أحد من الهورمونات
الأساسية التي تحفز غريزة الرعاية, الحماية
والإرتباط مع الطفل و تنتج المرأة اكبر
قدر من الأوكسيتوسين خلال الولادة
والرضاعة الطبيعية.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

أثناء الولادة. هرمون الأوكسيتوسين ينشط الطلق
القوي الذي يساعد عنق الرحم ليصبح رقيقا وجاهزا للتوسع , يساعد بدفع الطفل إلى عمق
الحوض ويساعد مرور الطفل من خلال قناة الولادة , أيضاً يساعد بخروج المشيمة و أن يحد
من النزيف. كما أنه يساعد المرأة على الهدوء والاسترخاء أثناء الولادة.<br />

بنجاح الولادة؟</span></b><span lang="AR" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br />
ارتباط العقل والجسم وتؤثرهما ببعضها البعض , يسمى ب "ارتباط العقل و الجسم " و الاضطرابات العاطفية تؤثر على الحالة
الفسيولوجية للمرأة.<br />
الخوف ,القلق , التوتر ,الغضب والعواطف المكبوتة يمكن أن يبطئ الولادة. لأن المشاعر السلبية تزيد من الإحساس
بالألم فبالتالي سيزيد انتاج هرمون الأدرينالين الذي قد يبطئ أو يوقف الطلق.<br />
أيضا سيصل الهرمون أيضا للطفل الذي يعاني من العسر إثناء
الولادة.<br />
المشاعر السلبية تسبب تشنج في العضلات و
هذا يسبب صعوبة في فتح عنق الرحم.</span></span></div>

of mind and body and how they affect each other during childbirth. She
describes correlation of emotional changes with following physical changes. She
suggests that labour should take place in calm and confident environment in
order to progress well and that emotional distress or situation when woman does
not feel safe or feel observed can
effectively block further progress in labour . She advises that laboring woman
become aware of her thoughts because they can be creators of reality, use
positive , affirming and grateful thoughts and discharge any negative emotions
, worries, anger, fear to restore the progress. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

describes the labour as orchestrated symphony of woman`s body physiological
changes responding to different woman`s body hormones involved in giving birth.
Very interesting are her insights about 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> stage
of labour. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span dir="LTR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-language: AR-KW;">She refers to the 1<sup>st</sup> stage of labour as the stage when woman needs to be
active and change her position frequently in order to help opening of the
cervix " Given the choice, most
mammals are restless during this part of labour, for this is time when the baby
is pushed, jostled, wriggled and turned into most advantageous position to pass
through maternal passageway …to be born vaginally . "<o:p></o:p></span></div>

between contraction of uterus and woman`s effective pushing which enable the
baby to pass through the birth canal " Once the cervix is pulled completely
open, a combination of uterine contractions and some pressure from abdominal
muscles pushes the baby outside of the mother`s body." She suggests that gravity can greatly affect progress
of this part of labour and advices gravity friendly pushing positions, like squatting
or on all four.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span dir="LTR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-language: AR-KW;">Ina May also elaborates on perception of pain during
the labour and suggests that perception of pain in labour is influenced by
cultural factors and concepts ( " If you believe it`s going to hurt, it
will hurt ) , former negative experiences and lack of prenatal education. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-language: AR-KW;">Ina May introduces concept of <b>Sphincter Law</b> , which
states that cervical and vaginal sphincters function best in an atmosphere of
intimacy and privacy ( for example: bathroom functions) . Also that the
relaxation of jaw and mouth is directly correlated to the ability of the
cervix, vagina and anus to open to its full capacity and when person`s
sphincter is in the process of opening, it may suddenly close down if the
person becomes upset, frightened , humiliated or self conscious because high
levels of adrenaline in the bloodstream do not favor opening of the sphincters.
Activities which promotes opening of the sphincters are: intimate atmosphere,
laughter, slow deep breathing, immersion in hot water, vocalization- moaning,
grunting, groaning, lip-flapping exhalation, positive affirmations. Ina May
observed that women with relaxed jaws during pushing have usually do not tear
or need episiotomy, because their perineum stretch well as opposed to women who
clench their jaw and their perineal tissues are more rigid. She suggests that
relaxation of cervix and perineal tissues are directly correlated to relaxation
of the jaw.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Janet Balaskas`s book Active Birth is
resourcesful manual for all pregnant ladies who want to labour and deliver
naturally. The author urges mothers to learn about their bodies, being active
during pregnancy and labour and thus
become active birth givers. She suggests that moving freely during labour,
finding comfortable positions , following their instincts and taking control of
the childbirth experience may result in seldom or no need of drugs and
obstetrical interventions. </span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></div>

<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">She also suggests that labour is natural body
function and can happen spontaneously and naturally without need of any
intervention and that labour can be empowering event resulting in improved self
confidence and enjoyable motherhood, thus building stronger families. She
views Active Birth as natural and
instinctive and aims to help women to get in touch with their own birth-giving
instinct and also recommends yoga exercises - simple and </span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">instinctive movements
– to improve flexibility and strength. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">She stresses that active birth is
instinctive and involves giving birth quite</span><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"> naturally and spontaneously through
woman`s own will and determination , having the complete freedom to use her
body as she chooses and also follow its urges. Active Birth is an attitude of
mind, it involves acceptance and trust in the natural body function and
involuntary nature of the birth process,
as well as an attitude or appropriate body positioning . It is not merely a vaginal extraction in which
the attendants are in control and woman is a passive confinement.</span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">She explains reasons why Active Birth
may be more efficient and safer during labour for mother and baby:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">1.Upright position optimizes the pull
of gravity - downward gravitational force- assists uterine contractions and
bearing down efforts<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2. Upright position optimizes the
drive angle of uterus – the angle between the long axis of baby`s spinal column
and that of mother`s spinal column- is greater when mother is upright, allowing
uterus to tilt forward and thereby
assisting uterus to work without resistance, which is efficient way to reduce
pain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">3. Upright position provides the best
angle of baby`s descent into the birth canal <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">4. Upright position ensures direct
application of the baby`s head against cervix and promotes more efficient and
faster dilatation<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align: left;">
<span dir="LTR" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">5.Upright position ensures baby`s
oxygen supply is adequate, lying down on the back may decrease oxygen supply to

Prenatal yoga is an hour long workout , consisting of four fazes , imitating stages of childbirth : Meditation, Heating up, Intensity and Final rest. The sequence of exercises is specially design to tone up muscles and keep them flexible in order to stretch and enable baby to pass through the birth canal quickly . It also concentrates on breathing techniques and strenghtening muscles of the pelvic floor ( aka birthing muscles). Every pregnant lady can benefit from prenatal exercise not only during pregnancy, but also during actual labour , where she can be active and combine her routine positions which made her feel comfortable during pregnancy with resting positions which will restore her energy.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Oxytocin is a hormone produced in the brain which gradually increases during pregnancy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Oxytocin is called the “love hormone”; it helps us to feel peaceful, affectionate, and empathetic, and helps us move into the right side (non-rational) of our brain. Oxytocin is one of the primary hormones that triggers a mother’s instinct to nurture, protect, and bond with her baby. Humans produce the most oxytocin during love making and childbirth. They must feel safe and enjoy privacy to produce the optimum levels of oxytocin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">During labour, Oxytocin stimulates powerful contractions which help thin and open the cervix, move the baby down and out of the birth canal, expel the placenta and limit the bleeding. It also helps women to be calm and relaxed during labor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ENDORPHINES<o:p></o:p></h3>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Endorphines are hormones produced in the brain in response to positive stress or pain. They are calming and pain relieving hormones, sometimes referred to as natural opiates (pain killers). An example of this is when runners describe their feelings at the end of a race as feeling “elated” or experiencing the “runners high.” The amount of endorphins in a naturally laboring mother is significantly higher than a marathon runner, that is why you will hear some mothers describe their birth experience as “ecstatic.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">In unmedicated labours, endorphins continue to gradually rise through the labour and can cause an altered state of consciousness that can help woman to flow with the process, even if it is long and challenging. Despite the hard work, high endorphine levels make laboring woman feel alert, attentive and euphoric.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">In medicated labours (such as induced labours) , endorphine levels are lower because the natural signal sent to the brain to continue to increase the release of endorphins in response to increasing levels of oxytocin is shut off. This can cause labors which use Syntocin or Pitocin to be excessively painful and create a need for interventions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Adrenaline is a hormone known as the “fight of flight" hormone that our bodies produce to ensure survival and to deal with stress. Certain amounts of adrenaline are needed during the labour in order to deal with the physical demands of labour, but excess amounts can be harmful. Women who feel threatened may produce high levels of adrenalin which can slow or stop labour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Blooma's Prenatal Yoga Teacher Trainings are all about helping mothers
find their inner strength and wisdom. Upon completion of Level 1, you’ll
be prepared and encouraged to lead a beautiful prenatal yoga practice
that builds a mother’s confidence, strength, connects her to baby, and
uplifts her mind, body, and spirit. You will be trained in a sequence
that is specifically designed to empower and prepare women for birth.
Blooma feels confident that graduates from Level 1 can begin their
journey into prenatal yoga teaching in a safe and inspiring way, as a
certified Blooma Prenatal Yoga Teacher.</div>
<div style="color: #595757; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Blooma's Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training is a journey. It's more than
just another yoga training. Sarah and Stacy lead each session with the
intention that each individual will have her own experience and find her
own voice.</div>
<div style="color: #595757; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 11px;">

Drawing from a rich history of birthing wisdom, the Level 1 training
includes: the birthing community, inner wisdom, prenatal body knowledge,
anatomy, wellness, introduction to childbirth education philosophies,
the energy system of the chakras, and, of course the depth of the
ancient practice of yoga.</div>
<div style="color: #595757; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
During Blooma’s training you’ll learn far more than modifications for
pregnancy. You’ll learn about the emotional and physical challenges a
woman undergoes during labor and childbirth—and how her prenatal yoga
classes help prepare her for that journey. You’ll also explore your own
beliefs surrounding birth, taking time to journal and share with others
in your training. We’ll practice together, take turns teaching, and
developing confidence as teachers.</div>

from her core belief in the inner strength of women, and the power of
the breath, Sarah shares stories and wisdom from both her years of
teaching prenatal yoga and from the hundreds of births she has attended
as a doula. Stacy shares her knowledge of yoga, meditation, and physical
and energetic mindful listening exercises, and how to incorporate these
practices into your classes.</div>
<div style="color: #595757; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Blooma is a Registered Prenatal Yoga School (RPYS) with Yoga Alliance.
Blooma is unique in that there are very few locations around the world
that offer Yoga Alliance approved prenatal yoga education. Those
interested in pursuing the Yoga Alliance designation of "Registered
Prenatal Yoga Teacher" (RPYT), after completing Level 1 training through
the BirthKuwait 2013 Training, can attend a Level 2 advanced training
at Blooma in Minneapolis, or look forward to Blooma's return to
BirthKuwait in the future. </div>

The programme consisted of five presentations:<br />
<br />
1. Dr. Mona Alsumaie : Breastfeeding situation in Kuwait<br />
We learned that 82% of women in Kuwait initiate breastfeeding ( even if only once ) , but only 12% of them continue exclusive brestfeeding up to 6th month of baby age. The most common reasons why women stop breastfeeding are lack of proper information, motivation and help.<br />
<br />
2. Dr. Alia Abdeen : Kuwait Lactation Consultants Society: mission and activities<br />
Kuwait Lactation Consultant Society currently has 37 members who took certification exam and qualified, they are distributed in govermental hospitals all over Kuwait and available to help mothers whenever needed.<br />
<br />
3. Zuzana Nadova, Midwife : BirthKuwait - mission, vision and activities<br />
<a href="http://www.birthkuwait.com/">BirthKuwait</a> is a local nonprofit birth network— a collection of birth-related professionals—networking together and working towards providing better support for mothers and improving maternity services in Kuwait by making resources available for mothers and advocating for evidence-based maternity care. <br />
<br />
4. Heba Al Ali, BSF founder: BFS breastfeeding support club <br />
The most important message of this presentation was to start preparing for breastfeeding during the pregnancy , setting the priorities right and having support system.<br />
<br />
5. Carolyne Presber, LLL leader-Kuwait: La Leche League in Kuwait<br />
We learned about history and activities of La Leche League, which is international non profit organization providing Mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information and education for women who breastfeed their children.<br />
<br />
Programme was followed by interesting discussion.<br />

BirthKuwait event: Coping with labor took place at Sadu House on 14th May 2012. We talked about labor and comfort measures during labor. The lecture was presented by Midwife Jane Ayers and Doula Sarah Paksima of <a href="http://www.birthkuwait.com/">BirthKuwait</a> .<br />
<br />
We learned that it is preferred to eat and drink during early stage of labor in order to maintain high energy levels all the way to the delivery. It is also adviced to practice relaxation techniques and correct breathing to faciliate release of hormones which easen labor and decreases pain. We were also presented with demonstration of many labor positions and comfort measures, like applying hot compresses, massages, accupuncture and use of fit ball.<br />

<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">By providing moms with counter pressure (in response to the pressure of the baby's internal rotations in the pelvis and against the sacrum) by doing the double hip squeeze, using a scarf to accomplish the same thing, or pressing or massaging the sacrum, you can help relieve some of the discomfort of labor.</span></h6>

A doula is birth companion who provides you with emotional and physical support. Imagine a person who calms you down, reminds you of proper breathing, relaxation techniques, keeps you hydrated by offering sips of water, keeps you energized by offering small portions of food ( like dates), relieves pain by massaging and accupunture or applying hot compresses,.. and much more. I took doula training course ( DONA) sponsored by <a href="http://www.birthkuwait.com/">BirthKuwait</a> and Royal Hayatt so I will be able to attend labors of my family & friends and I also think about getting licensed soon.<br />
<br />

The course took place during from 26th April to 28th April 2012 in <a href="http://royalehayat.com/index.html">Royale Hayat Hospital.</a> This course was designed and was presented by Kristi Ridd-Young, an
experienced midwife, doula, and childbirth educator. She is currently the
President of the Midwives College of Utah and former DONA Administrative
Director and board member. During her 19 years of teaching, Kristi has
facilitated many doula trainings throughout the USA. She has been invaluable in
helping many expectant mothers and their partners develop skills and the inner
strength neeed to experience a positive birth. As a caring, compassionate doula,
she has atteneded over 250 women. Kristi has been mentored by many of the
leading experts in the field of childbirth, but most of all, she credits her six
children and seven stepchildren for much of the wisdom and knowledge she
shares.MidwifeofKuwaithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16921848386739501226noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2814836270373586303.post-63395647008891061562012-04-25T10:44:00.000+03:002012-04-25T10:44:01.478+03:00Human Colostrum and Breast Milk<b><span style="font-family: GillSans-Bold; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: GillSans-Bold; font-size: x-small;"></span></span></b><b><span style="font-family: GillSans-Bold; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: GillSans-Bold; font-size: x-small;"></span></span></b><br />

The numbers of <a href="http://pregnancy.about.com/od/induction/p/induction.htm">inductions of labor</a> using artificial means like <a href="http://pregnancy.about.com/od/induction/f/pitocin.htm">Pitocin</a> and other medications has gone up dramatically in the last few years. A hospital in my area says that 90 of the women have their labors induced. Since science shows us that inducing labor can increase the numbers of complications in the labor and with the baby, you might be surprised to note that many of the inductions are not for medical reasons, but rather reasons of convenience, practitioner or mother, known as social induction.<br />
One of the things that women tell me is that they are lead to believe that induction is completely safe and relatively easy, after all, Pitocin is just another form of the body's own <a href="http://pregnancy.about.com/od/laborbasics/g/Oxytocin.htm">oxytocin</a>, right?<br />
While this statement is generally true, artificially created hormones, including Pitocin do not act identically to the hormones in ones body. For example, in pregnancy both the mother and the baby produce oxytocin. The oxytocin produced by each reacts differently in the body because they each have separate jobs.<br />
Here are five things that you may not know about Pitocin and how it can effect your labor:<br />
<a name='more'></a><ul><br />
<li> <b>Pitocin is released differently. </b><br />Oxytocin is released into your body in a pulsing action. It comes intermittently to allow your body a break. Pitocin is given in an IV in a continuous manner. This can cause contractions to be longer and stronger than your baby or placenta can handle, depriving your baby of oxygen.</li>
<li> <b>Pitocin prevents your body from offering endorphins. </b><br />When you are in labor naturally, your body responds to the contractions and oxytocin with the release of endorphins, a morphine like substance that helps prevent and counteract pain. When you receive Pitocin, your body does not know to release the endorphins, despite the fact that you are in pain.</li>
<li> <b>Pitocin isn't as effective at dilating the cervix. </b><br />When the baby releases oxytocin it works really well on the uterine muscle, causing the cervix to dilate. Pitocin works much more slowly and with less effect, meaning it takes more Pitocin to work.</li>
<li> <b>Pitocin lacks a peak at birth. </b><br /> In natural labor, the body provides a spike in oxytocin at the birth, stimulating the fetal ejection reflex, allowing for a faster and easier birth. Pitocin is regulated by a pump and not able to offer this boost at the end.</li>
<li> <b>Pitocin can interfere with bonding. </b><br />When the body releases oxytocin, also known as the love hormone, it promotes bonding with the baby after birth. Pitocin interferes with the internal release of oxytocin, which can disturb the bonding process.</li>
</ul>
Your body's own natural oxytocin is superior in many ways to Pitocin. There are also ways to increase the release of this natural oxytocin including skin-to-skin contact, lovemaking, breastfeeding, and others.<br />
So, if you are presented with the option of an induction of labor, you might want to ask your provider about whether or not it is being done for a medical reason or if it's something that a bit of time and patience will help alleviate.<br />
