Changing positions, walking, or swaying can ease discomfort. Use a birthing ball or try squatting to find what works best.
Warm baths or showers can provide soothing relief and relaxation.
A TENS unit uses gentle electrical pulses to reduce pain. Place the electrodes on your lower back.
An even easier option than a TENS unit is squeezing a birth comb in your hand can act as a distraction and acupressure point.
Gentle massage on your back, shoulders, or feet by your partner or doula can reduce tension and pain.
Remember to breathe & trust your body. You've got this mama!
