On Monday night in antenatal classes we went through some pain management techniques - visualisations and breathing. I must say, I use my breathing ALL the time. Specially driving in Johannesburg traffic. In the middle of the night I have stubbed my toe several times on our bed base and my husband hears "hu-shew hu-shew hu-shew whooooooo". He must think I'm a loony.
Anyway, another pain management technique the midwife mentioned was singing during labour. It was kind of dismissed as a silly thing to do... but honestly it's something that I think could really work.
Take a look at this YouTube video... it's AMAZING!
