I just went with the flow with my first but this time around would like to be more in the moment and have anything to help. suggestions?

Answer

I'm taking Bradley Method classes. They stress moving around and not being confined to a bed. Also, squats. Relaxation techniques. Find things that make you really relaxed. If there's a shower in your room, use it on your back and stomach. Bradley Method has your SO be your coach.

Answer

As dorky as this will sound I played Pokémon with my now husband. It gave me something to distract myself with so I didn’t focus on my intense back labor and contractions.

Answer

Every woman is different but i put on music that helps me relax. Stood in the shower and had an essential oils diffuser in my room. Also being completely naked help me feel more comfortable as well.

Answer

Have you thought about Evening Primrose Oil (helps ripen the cervix) and Red Raspberry Leaf Tea (helps with strengthening the uterus & contractions).
