As I stated in the previous blog message, there were three things that made my natural birth (i.e, no pain meds) completely do-able. The first was yoga breath, the second visualization, and the third doulas and my husband, which I will discuss tomorrow. Visualization is a big factor in making your labor easier. You will feel an intense pressure, and pain as your baby moves down to the birth canal. What I did and coach my clients to do is picture your baby going down the birth canal and easily passing into this world. The visualization can help to calm and relax you so your not resisting the process and your baby comes easier.
