During labor and childbirth, birth relaxation techniques can make all the difference. Here are some examples of techniques that you can do to help manage pain.

Number one: Abdominal breathing. By focusing on breathing through the abdomen, it will be much easier for you to relax the surrounding muscles – the very ones that many labouring women have a tendency to tense up. In order to practice abdominal breathing, you should position yourself lying down on your back. Lay a light book or some other object on your belly, and focus on making the object move up and down with each breath. Rather than breathing with your chest, which will make your rib cage move up and down, breathe with your abdomen.
Number two: Guided imagery. Several studies have proven the positive effects of psychological and educational preparation with self-hypnosis and guided imagery on childbirth. Self-hypnosis and guided imagery combine deep relaxation with positive suggestion for a normal, comfortable birth. Relaxation and breathing techniques can reduce anxiety in laboring women. Imagery and self-hypnosis have also demonstrated effectiveness in reducing complications of pregnancy. There are countless images a woman could use to help her relax. She could imagine that she is standing in a shower and the water hits the top of her head and runs down her body, taking all of the tension with it, or that she is floating in a pool or on the ocean, sunbathing and relaxing. It also helps to take herself to a favorite place, a favorite time, or back to a time in her life when she was particularly relaxed.
Number three: Tense-relaxation technique. The tense-release relaxation technique is a simple exercise for anyone, that can provide easy relief from pain and tension. If you see a tense spot, be sure to do a quick tension and release of tension in that spot. Common areas of tension include the neck, brow, jaw, and lower back.
These are three examples of birth relaxation techniques.
