My question

Aww first time mo palang, kaya mo yan! Honestly, breathing techniques really helped me during labor, in through your nose, out slowly through your mouth, it keeps you calm and actually lessens the pain, plus having your partner or birthing coach remind you to breathe makes a big difference. A lot of my mum friends also swear by moving around, changing positions, using the birth ball, or even just having warm water (shower or tub if your hospital allows) because the warmth really relaxes the muscles and eases the discomfort. Pero since labor pain is so personal and varies from person to person, chatting with your OB about pain management options during your prenatal visits would be super helpful, they can discuss what's available and what works best para sa iyo.
