Managing Pain Naturally

Women can significantly reduce the amount of pain during labor by natural methods.  View pain in labor for what it is—normal, healthy, productive, intermittent, ending with the ecstasy of your baby’s birth. 

  • Prayer, Positive confessions.

  • Adjust lighting and temperature to your comfort. 

  • Music –soft and relaxing for first stage, energizing for second stage. 

  • Candles, incense, aromatherapy, oils, and nature items that give you comfort like smooth rocks or sticks.

  • Eat and drink to maintain strength. 

  • Surround yourself with family and friends support system.

  • Deep abdominal breathing into the    contraction and breathing out at the end of the contraction enables her to reduce pain and can even help  the baby move down through the pelvic bones. 

  • Sounding vocally may release tension and help the expectant mom to relax. 

  • Walking and squatting use gravity to aid in the progress of labor. 

  • Warm baths and showers may aid in the woman’s relaxation, therefore enabling labor to progress. 

  • Cool or warm compresses, massage,   reflexology, acupressure or counter-pressure all may assist a woman in labor to actively reduce her pain.  

Benefits of Water Birth

  • Water birth is an extremely gentle birth method for mother and baby.

  • Water can make pushing easier.

  • Birthing in the water provides the baby with almost the exact replica of the womb environment -wet, warm, weightless and gentle.

  • The mother can easily move positions to find one most comfortable for herself with each contraction.

  • Water creates support and equal pressure on all parts of a woman’s body.

  • Less energy used when birthing in water, less pain, less anxiety for mother and baby.

  • Water Birth seems to result in lower adrenalin (fight or flight response) levels resulting in better oxytocin and oxygen flow to the mother, increased blood supply to the uterus. As a result contractions are more efficient.

  • Water results in a small decrease in the mothers blood pressure.

  • The mother can find a comfortable position more efficiently and ease the descent of the baby through the birth canal.
    Water provides flexibility.

  • Birth from water into water is a gentle transition for the baby.

  • There is less risk of tearing and skin tissue trauma to mother and less risk of tissue trauma to baby.

  • The mother feels less pressure on the abdomen and uterus with contractions.
