My hypnobirthing information also suggests that simply laying on your side in a calm/relaxed state also helps you labour.

The analogy they used, is that you don't see cows, dogs and other animals up walking around when labouring...they are laying in a trance like state.

It's something i truely believe...laying calmly and doing relaxation could be totally as beneficial as the walking and showering etc, just from my research.

Am yet to 'test' it out thow..LOL

Ask me in a few months time.
