Labor Pain Management Class

Learning to manage pain during labor allows you to have a more positive, calm, and empowered birth experience. In this class, I guide you and your partner or support person to learn different pain-relief techniques and strategies to feel comfortable and in control throughout the process.

• Understanding labor pain: Learn the stages of labor (latent, active, transition, and pushing) and how pain presents at each stage.
• Breathing techniques: Specific breaths for each phase of labor to help you relax and reduce pain perception.
• Relaxation techniques: Progressive relaxation exercises, visualization, meditation, and mindfulness; using music and aromatherapy to reduce stress and anxiety.
• Positioning and movement: Different postures and movements that promote comfort and labor progress, including the use of birth balls and cushions.
• Massage and counterpressure: Techniques your partner or support person can apply, including hot and cold compresses to relieve lower back pain.
• Personalized birth plan: Developing pain management strategies, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, and effective communication with your medical team.
• Role of the partner or support person: How to provide physical and emotional support, stay calm, and be an effective ally throughout labor.

• Feel empowered and confident through knowledge and practice of pain management techniques.
• Reduce fear and anxiety related to labor.
• Improve your birth experience and satisfaction with the process.
