I was attached to a drip and also a monitor, but was able to get up and move around enough to relieve pain. I didn't really do much actually LOL - the shower didn't appeal to me at all.. I basically stood up for my contractions and swayed through them leaning over the table.. and once the contraction had gone took a mouthful of jelly! LOL.

You won't like this one Kelly but my best relief came from DH being able to watch the monitor and tell me when it had peaked and that it was going now LOL. However, since I highly doubt you'll use that - mine would be simply breathing & swaying.
