what imaginary did you find the most useful?

With Isla when it got really bad, that transition stage I would say the word breath as I breathed. To remind myself to breath through it LOL. It helped I think.

Also this will sound weird. But with each deep breath in I pictured my cervix being pulled up kinda like when you pull a sock on, as you pull up your leg it becomes wider & thinner, As I breathed out i pictured the babies head moving down & out.

I think these helped me

I also said the word Breath to myself and also told myself it would be over soon,. Was quite calming talking to myself! xo

Now I know this is a little off topic. BUT you know when ask or are told what labour feels like & the standard answer is period pain but worse. Well I don't get period pain so never knew what the hell they were going on about. Then I had a baby.
Then after said baby I had the same (TMI) pain when straining to do a poo. THAT pain in your stomach to me is the closest you will get to what to expect out of labour pain. Obviously a contraction is worse but the pain is the same if you ask me.
