A New Look at Pain and Pleasure in Childbirth - Part 2
posted by Prem Neera (Iana)
Let's understand how it is possible for UTERO to OPEN with pain and on the contrary with extreme PLEASURE.
The "uterus is a pocket" formed by bundles of muscle fibers with an exit port, the cervix, where these bundles are concentrated to close the exit in order to support the weight of the fetus, placenta, amniotic fluid, etc. ... concentrates the force of gravity and at the same time you have to dilate the famous 10 centimeters so that the baby can come out at the end of the birth.
Muscle tissue is strong and at the same time elastic and flexible;
-elastic to shelter the baby as it grows,
-strong to tighten the muscle fibers of the cervix and withstand 10 to 12 kilos of weight against the force of gravity and,
-Flexible for total relaxation, relaxation and opening the exit.
And all this with a closing and opening system that depends on the woman's neuroendocrine and neurocellular system.
There is real evidence that this device is orgasms and that orgasms were an evolutionary invention to trigger the opening of the uterus.
The muscular system of the uterus has three layers of muscle fibers;
the longitudinal ones,
the circulars and
the intermediaries.
The LONGITUDINALs have the function of emptying,
the CIRCULARS to withhold. While the longitudinals push outwards,
the circulars should loosen and stretch.
The longitudinal ones are connected to the Parasympathetic Nervous System (SNPS) while the circular ones are connected to the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS).
How do we know the
PARASYPATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (SNPS) is what activates in the state of relaxation, well-being, safety, warmth and
the SYMPATHIC NERVOUS SYSTEM that works in a state of alertness, stress, fear, oppression, danger, hunger, thirst, etc.
In this way the cervix DOES NOT DILATE when the woman has the activated sympathetic nervous system (SNS).
The PHYSIOLOGY of childbirth established during EVOLUTION provides for an INTERRUPTION in labor if a DANGER is detected for the woman, so the cervix does not dilate when she is in a nervous state.
Somehow, the muscle fibers, instead of functioning rhythmically in harmony with the longitudinal movements, provide RESISTANCE and cause the uterus to spasm that produces the pain of the CUMBERS, and as we know them to be the normal contractions (cramping) of childbirth.
Concluding that the FEAR of childbirth keeps the Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) active, it PREVENTS the relaxation and the DISTENSION of the circular muscles of the cervix of the UTERUS, which the body considers as a physiological DYSFUNCTION and causes the PAIN of childbirth.
On the other hand, the uterus has oxytocin receptors in muscle tissue. And in order to activate the NATURAL flow of this HORMONE, the uterus intervenes SEXUALITY, pleasure and, if possible, "ORGASMS at delivery time".
Orgasm is the quickest and easiest way to produce the oxytocin that the uterus needs to open up and let the new Being into the world.
When you INDUCED or you want to SPEED up the delivery with SYNTHETIC oxytocin, what happens is that the longitudinal fibers of the uterus beat due to spasms and PUSHES the circular fibers that are still CONTRACTED. In addition, synthetic oxytocin arrives in the body as a PUMP instead of pulsating.
Therefore, the natural physiology of childbirth consists of love, respect and dignity for women, men and babies, a safe environment with reliable people, the sympathetic nervous system deactivated and the natural production of oxytocin through pleasure and orgasm.
Yea! Childbirth is ours and we will give birth with pleasure ...
