What is NER? Why is it important during pregnancy?
NER, or Natural Expulsive Reflex, refers to the innate ability of a woman's body to give birth without the need for forced pushing. Understanding NER is essential for pregnant women as it empowers them to work with their bodies during labor and delivery. Interestingly, even women in comas can successfully give birth, despite being completely unconscious. This phenomenon showcases the inherent knowledge our bodies possess regarding the birthing process, similar to how our bodies instinctively know how to breathe or experience the menstrual cycle each month.
By avoiding forced pushing, which can lead to exhaustion, laboring mothers can conserve their energy and stay in tune with their bodies and the journey their babies undertake through the birth path. Forced pushing can disrupt breathing patterns, resulting in reduced oxygen supply for both the mother and the baby. This reduction in oxygen can potentially cause complications, such as fluctuations in the baby's heart rate and the need for unwanted medical interventions. Moreover, forced pushing increases the likelihood of tearing during delivery.
Furthermore, NER aids in clearing the mucus from a newborn's lungs, facilitating their transition to breathing independently outside the womb.
