Anyway, I also wanted to share that if you ever have trained for runs in the past, or still do, to give you a heads up that this nurse did for me. The first breathing technique - and only one that didn't make me feel like I was hyperventilating- was breathing like you do when you run! She said if I can last running and understand the need for focus and breathing while running labor will hopefully go more smoothly :) so that was a huge positive for me :)
