You can prepare before labor begins in a few different ways to for the pain your body will go through during labor. A Child birth class is one of the first ways that you can prepare. By taking a class you can learn how to breathe through the contractions and how to focus, relax and be more in control. The father or birthing partner should also take the class with you so they will know how to help you through the contractions.
Once your contractions begin you may not start full labor for up to a few days. Some ways to help with the pressure and pain of those contractions is to employ maternity acupressure or simply have your partner massage your lower back with hands or a tennis ball, changing positions often or moving around can help, taking a shower or bath if your doctor says it’s okay or placing an ice pack on your lower back.
