Id be like, seriously!!!!? good thing we discussed the terms with my doctor and his staff in advance. waste of visits to his office. Ill def go to a different dr if i have another child.

Why not just get the epidural u ask? Because it defeats the purpose of having a NATURAL child birth. Also known as giving birth without drugs.

Do you have a personal website? I really enjoy watching and doing your breathing techniques. Do you have a personal e-mail? I find you to be a very intelligent woman. GIna

Deep breathing is soooooooo much more natural and better than what I was taught in my childbirth class. We were supposed to breathe like you see women in labor on tv do and I told my hubby “forget that”. It made me hyperventilate. When I had my baby last year I did deep breathing and just moaned through my contractions. I had a natural delivery and hopefully will have one this time around too. I’m 35wks…

This breathing made me dizzy- why would we need to hold an icecube?

Natural remedy for pain relief. I used cd’s for sleep, pain relief, deep relaxation, recovery, breathing; rehearsal, morning and evening. I use the powerful CD’s and I am relaxed and sleep naturally – they are really worth weight in gold for self nurture and relaxation, check them out.

“I want you to look 12 months pregnant” …lol. I think I would rethink being pregnant if it really was going to last 12 months
I’m 3 weeks away from my first birth and nervous as hell.

Thanks for posting this. I thought of you and the video when my midwife had to go away for a while, when I was in the bath tub laboring, and started focusing on the deep breathing. It did help relieve the pain till my baby came out peacefully.

good idea! i’ll try that… I had a natural birth last time and Iwill NEVER ever have drugs with my deliveries, just would be much nicer if I wasn’t in so much pain.

This video was priceless during my second son’s delivery last tuesday Feb 24th, 2009. I used your deep breathing technique and held ice chips to distract myself from the contractions pain. I had him naturally without any medication after 4.5 hrs of labor. THANK YOU for posting this!

because holding an ice cube in your hand for a long time can be painful (much like labor) so you can practice being in pain
