Yeah Relle, I would have to say that breathing is a close second. And only second because if you are lying on your back or sitting in the car no breathing in the world will stop the pain.

My favourite form of non-medical pain relief was most definitely the bath. I spent alot of my first stage in there, using gas only when I got to 7cms. Funnily enough, I wanted to get out once I was fully dilated, but I have wonderful memories of the time I spent in there, especially with my DH massaging my back.
I second the rocking/swaying, breathing, and shower, in that order too!
