In this episode of the Nourishing Birth and Beyond Podcast I provide a detailed discussion on three methods to alleviate labour pain: using a TENS machine, which interrupts pain signals with a tingling sensation; practicing controlled breathing to reduce stress and support hormone balance; and incorporating movement to aid labour progression and comfort.
In this episode of the podcast I talk about:
- Using a TENS machine which is recommended for pain relief during labour
- Controlled breathing that can help you manage stress and support the balance of hormones essential for labour
- Movement during labour that can assist with comfort and progression, suggesting
- A workshop I’m teaching to expectant parents that includes additional tools, including massage, movement techniques, and hypnobirthing, providing comprehensive support for labour.
Sound bites from this episode:
“Your body is perfectly designed to birth your baby.”
“All you need to do for labour is get through one contraction at a time.”
“Breathing plays such an important role in your experience.”
“Slowing the breathing is key for the nervous system to be calm and relaxed, for you to feel safe and secure.”
