Op. Dr. Serpil Kırmızı gives valuable advice on Birth Psychology and Good Enough Motherhood for Mothers.
Birth is one of the most important experiences of many women's lives. However, the birth process is sometimes full of unexpected challenges and can be a source of psychological stress for mothers. Therefore, Op. Dr. Serpil Kırmızı gives some suggestions for mothers to cope with birth psychology.
First of all, it is important to be prepared for both birth and postpartum period. This can be done by taking prenatal education, preparing a birth plan, and setting your postpartum expectations. Knowing about your birth and being prepared during this time can make you feel more confident. Do not forget that knowledge is the antidote to anxiety and fear.
Secondly, it is also important for the expectant mother to work with a doctor she can communicate with and trust in order to have a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Correct communication also minimizes the risks that the expectant mother may take intentionally or unknowingly during pregnancy. Birth is an act of letting go. And a person can only leave himself physically and spiritually with the people he trusts in the environment he trusts.
In order to cope with the birth waves, it is necessary to prepare physically and mentally for this process. So what should be done?
It is necessary to learn breathing exercises and relaxation exercises. It is important to provide physical and mental awareness. If you have a fear of childbirth or have concerns about becoming a mother, it is extremely important to continue with psychotherapy if you do not hesitate to seek support in this regard. Again, taking birth preparation training and doing hypnobirthing exercises will make it easier for you to meet your birth waves in the process.
Op. Dr. Serpil Kirim; “Pregnancy is one of life's most unique beauties. Our lambs are formed on our mental designs." It is very important for them to come. Having a healthy birth process ensures that the baby is born healthy. In order to conceive, first of all, it is necessary to have a healthy pregnancy and to prepare physically and mentally.
Besides being a physical process for women, birth is an emotional and psychological experience. Drawing attention to the importance of the emotional and psychological experiences of women during the birth process, Op. Serpil Kırmızı emphasizes the importance of birth psychology for maternal and infant health. Voicing the motto of think positive and have a positive birth story at every opportunity, Op. Dr. Serpil Kırmızı emphasizes the importance of the feelings that the mother feels at the time of birth, when she reunites with her baby. The moment of birth is a very special moment, and the mother and baby will remember this moment for a lifetime. That's why the whole service should be planned according to what the mother and baby need at the time of birth. The mother, who reunites her baby with positive emotions, accompanies her growth with the same emotions in the next period.
Every mother, every baby, every birth is special and almost every woman believes that being a mother is her life. dreams of holding her fragrant little lamb in her arms...
We know that; From the moment you find out that you are pregnant, you begin to think more about your baby that you will hold in your arms, rather than yourself. This thought starts from the first moment the baby falls into the womb, and after your baby grows up, these feelings and thoughts continue, no matter how old they are.
Op. Dr. Serpil Kirim; “We can all be affected by the profiles we see around us from time to time, and we can feel inadequacy. There is no perfect motherhood. There is good motherhood. Of course, our children will be upset, they will experience optimal breaks, and they will adapt to life. It is good motherhood to make room for the child, to see what he needs when he needs it, but then to let him be himself.” Says.
As a specialist doctor who has experienced the feeling of motherhood and has gone through the pregnancy process, I can say that; Regardless of your type of birth, normal birth, water birth, normal birth after cesarean or cesarean delivery. Birth is not a battleground. The way you were born is not a victory either. The greatest achievement is meeting your baby with positive emotions, regardless of the type of birth, by receiving sufficient support, by experiencing the joy of birth. and to stay together as long as possible. This positive experience at birth will also support you while accompanying your baby's growth after birth.
