Description

From the HEE-HEE-HOO-HOO breathing of our parents’ generation to more elaborate breathing techniques, breath is a common topic in childbirth education! The reality is that there are great ways to breathe in labor, but also JUST BREATHING is vital! :) Below are some links to specific labor breathing exercises to get you started finding your rhythm.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Breathing exercises in childbirth can be an important part of your coping rhythm throughout labor. 

• Breath is used to ground you during labor as well as helping with relaxation
• There are many “types” of breathing exercises that work well in labor
• There isn’t just one way to breath, although there are a few techniques that can be more helpful than others
• Practicing your breathing rhythm before labor begins is the best way to have a rhythm once you’re in labor.
