What is Relaxation Anyway?
I would say a majority of women who are pregnant anticipating birth think relaxation is for the birds-meaning is doesn’t work for a woman in labor experiencing “labor pains”. This is actually a matter of perception and expectation. If you believe your labor is going to be painful, it will be.
But what if you took a second look at relaxation and saw its ability to alter not only your physiology during labor, but your mindset, as well as your “pain” level?
What if you’ve bought into an incorrect mindset – that labor is horribly painful and scary. A mindet that has passed from generation to generation, right up to you. What if, in the year 2009-2010 and on, this mindset is no longe the badge to wear. The new badge of birth is : Birth is what I make it to be. Birth is a reflection of my mindset – I have the power within me to experience a painless, loving,peaceful birth of my child.
What if?
The proof, the science of relaxation is in. Your thoughts affect your physical response. Watch and see… Now think about what YOU’RE thinking, stressing about with pregnancy and upcoming birth experience.
Relaxation is important to understand first, how it works, and then do it to reap its benefits for labor, birth, and as a new mom.
