💪 Wow, look at this powerful contraction! During labor, contractions come in a strong, rhythmic pattern. As deep internal tightening and squeezing of the belly, often felt as a wave of pressure and cramping that rises and falls. I like to think of each contraction as climbing a mountain. It begins gently, as the muscles of the uterus start to tighten you feel the build up as the intensity gradually increases, your body working in perfect rhythm. Then comes the peak the very top of the mountain which is the most powerful part of the contraction when your body is doing its greatest work to dilate the cervix and move your baby down. This moment, although intense, is brief usually just about10 to 15 seconds. Then, you move into the let-down, where the wave begins to ease, and the muscles soften and relax. Finally, you reach the break, the valley after the mountain where your belly is calm, your body rests, and you can take a deep breath, recharge, rest yourself as you prepare for the next wave.
Each contraction brings you one step closer to meeting your baby. Trust your body, trust the process, and remember you are powerful beyond measure!
