how did you soothe your pains during labor?

Look up the tootsie roll dance. A lady did it while she was in labor and it eased her pains

@manders13, I just watched that!

@summerbaby, my MIL wants me to do it while I'm in labor but I'm not too sure about it lol

I listened to music and when I was in full on active labor... Just focus on breathing... That was a hard enough job, I almost passed out right before getting dilated enough to push

they have aweosme cds and books on " hypnobirthing " it has good techniques

Held my hubby hand & rocked back and forth & took walks down the hallway !

@ajmommy2015,

Epidural!

Breathing and moaning through them contractions 😒

I got on the rocking chair and rocked back and forth. It seemed to help. Hey I made it 9 cm dilated before hitting the hospital lol

@boymama, I almost passed out too! I was left in a wheelchair in the waiting room while the receptionist told me I'll be fine and I'll catch my breath! She thought I was at a 4 or 5 cm

I needed oxygen at the end!!! Haha @tracynangel the first time with any of my babies I just forgot how to breathe😂 but the best part of all natural is I got to shower right away and was discharged about 30 hours after birth😁

What?! I stayed for three days! Oh maybe cuz I almost bled out! @boymama

Minor detail @tracynangel! So scary! My first and second I stayed 3 days Cus of birth complications, that shoulder dystocia almost killed us both😞 women are seriously amazing for what our bodies are capable of

Hot shower (or bath if you have access to one!), yoga ball, rocking on my hands and knees. They say relax your face and hands and the rest of your body relaxes. Back massage was huge!!
