I know that i can read my body fairly well, i know many ways of relieving pain, and also of coping with pain when it can't be avoided. I can pace myself, i can allow the pain through, i can filter it, i know not to fight it but work with it....
Although my (long) illness had been resolved *just, by the time I had my first I can tell you that all I had learned about dealing with pain went a LOOONNNG way to helping me cope with labour. A LOOOONG way.
