Coping with Natural Labor

Here are a few options with coping with Natural Labor. 

Water Birth:
Considered one of the most gentle ways to give birth because of being in a warm water filled tub. This helps to comfort, relax, and manage pain. You can leave the tub for delivery or give birth in the water.  If a tub is not available sitting on a stool in a warm shower can also help relax you and help labor progress.

Hypno Birthing:
Teaches us how to place ourselves in a hypnotic state, that should put us in a deep state of relaxation that helps keep pain to a minimum.

Lamaze:
This focuses on breathing and the support of a partner. Knowing that our bodies are made to do this and having the right to birth the way we choose with family and professional health care support.

Bradley Method:
Trusting your own body, focused breathing, relaxation, exercise, nutrition and a great coach. Your significant other attends classes to learn how to be helpful during labor.
