Prenatal yoga is so useful to prepare you for your labor. The breath alone will help reduce stress and tension, and specific postures help to open your pelvis making labor easier. I had both of my sons completely natural (yes, no pain meds), and I attribute it to prenatal yoga. When the pain became intense I would focus on my yoga breath and picture riding on a wave. Deep inhale as rode the wave up, and deep exhale as I rode the wave down. My doulas couldn’t believe how calm and centered I was throughout my birth. My husband even commented, “It’s kindof sad that we decided not to have any more children since your birth was so beautiful.”
