Remember at most contractions last 1 minute. My midwife once told me anyone can do anything for a minute! Women's bodies are designed to give birth. YOU CAN DO IT! I imagined my uterus getting a big bear hug to my baby to guide her out. You know there is that one person that squeezes when they hug. Thats what it feels like. It's pressure not pain. Pressure not pain. Breathe in deep and when you exhale relax all muscles and think or say baby and imagine holding your baby. One minute. Pressure hug. Relax all muscles and say baby.
YOU CAN DO IT! ♡
