I am planning to have a drug free birth,it is something that I have always said I would do,as like a lot of people, I don't like taking medication and never have done.
I have my TENs machine ready,I have been massaging my perineum(well,my partner has )to try and make it a little easier down there and hoping to avoid an episiotomy,and have been taking raspberry leaf for the last two weeks.
I know that I am good with mind over matter and discipline,so will be trying to not think of the pain,but is there anything else that anyone could suggest that may help,holistic wise??It would have to be something that Dave may be able to do,or myself,I will try anything to avoid the drug methods of pain relief!
Any suggestions would be great!
