Uy, congrats sa first baby mo! Honestly, the breathing technique na tinuro sa prenatal classes really helps, slow inhale through nose, exhale through mouth, especially kapag malakas ang contraction kasi it keeps you calm and focused. A few of us tried walking din during labor or changing positions like squatting or on all fours, tumutulong talaga para sa pain management at pabilis ng delivery, pero depende talaga sa birth plan mo at kung ano ang advice ng OB mo. Definitely talk to your doctor or midwife about what techniques they recommend para sa specific situation mo, lalo na ngayon may pain management options na available na rin! You got this, mama, kahit mahirap, kaya mo yan!
