Natural Pain Management

The most important skill you will acquire by practicing this particular class is the breathing and sounding techniques. This is the only program that teaches this, and it is what will get you through labor contractions. Please don’t look over this part of the class. By practicing over and over again during your pregnancy, you will be prepared and comfortable in labor to use your voice and sound through every contraction. By inhaling a deep breath at the start of a contraction and then exhaling that breath with a low sound through the entire contraction, you will create relaxation throughout your entire body. When all of the muscles are relaxed in your body the contractions will hurt less.

When you tense your muscles which happen because of fear and pain, they will hurt more. This breathing and sounding will help you focus and help you to surrender your mind and body to the natural birth process. While sounding as your exhale during contractions you will also be able to release fear. By being relaxed and fearless your cervix will melt away and you will open faster. After every contraction is over, you will release it with a deep cleansing breath. Focused and clam you rest and prepare for the next one.

This is a time tested technique that really works! Countless women have reported that this was the single most beneficial tool they used during labor. Sounding, breathing, and hot water emersion is what empowered them the most and got them through their childbirth without an epidural and pain medication.
