Natural birth tips?

Question

Looking for advice. How does the intense portion feel? How did you power through it?

Answer

I had a water birth..up until I delievered I walked around the hospital and moved with each contraction it helped ease it a lot...when I got in the water that eased it up a ton!!! The contractions for me was the worst part, as soon as they told me I could push I had her out in 4 pushes it felt so much better To push And to be able to do something about the pain.

Answer

I stood in a warm shower with my hubby once labor was fairly active. The heat felt good. For each contraction, he put pressure on my hips, as if expanding them, and focused on getting the baby further down. The only time it really hurt was when he was crowning. I have a high tolerance for pain, but I think a lot of us can do it naturally. Good luck!!

Answer

These are really great tips! Thank you so much!!!

Answer

I rocked in a rocking chair for a while and my MIL massaged my scalp and played with my hair. The breathing techniques that they taught in birthing class also helped me a lot.

Answer

It's not unbearable. You just need to focus and take each contraction one at a time.
