Things to remember when in labour Time has no relevance, so don’t look at the clock or watch • Focus only on that contraction at that moment in time – there is no need to look back at how many you have had – or try to predict how many more are coming! • Dilation has no rules – you can go from 5cms to 10cms in one hour if your body wishes. • Welcome each and every contraction as they come, as they are doing a wonderful job of opening up you body • Surrender to the intensity you are experiencing at this very moment for in 40 seconds it will be gone • Focus on your breathing in for 4 through your nose and out for 6 through your mouth and let go of your body and tension • Nature is so very kind in that you will get a rest in between contractions, so use it wisely, resting, breathing slowly and letting go • Draw on your support people to do everything for you - or nothing but just being there, silently present sending you love, energy and strength • Drink lots of water and pee regularly • Eat nutrient rich carbohydrate food with a low GI to help you through TRUST AND HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND BODY
