So my due date is in about 3.5 weeks and I am thinking about hypnobirthing and visualisation as a tool for managing labour pain. I realise that the proper practice involves much more than a quick read towards the end, but I'm not planning to use it solely, more as part of a pick and mix approach, so if it works for part of labour that will be great, if it doesn't I'll move on.
My question is, do you switch strategies between contractions (sorry, surges!!) and rest periods, or, if you are using a lengthy visualisation like the rainbow relaxation, do you just keep this going throughout contractions/rests in between?
