I'm stressed and anxious about childbirth. Can anyone recommend a book, audio or classes that teaches different techniques for birth? Things like breathing techniques, coping with pain, helping relax, reducing anxieties, encouraging baby into a good position. I think there are probably some very useful tips and techniques out there it's just finding them!
It's really important to me that it's realistic and definitely not pushy on the natural birth side of things. It's a high risk pregnancy and I really don't want anyone/anything making me feel guilty, disappointed, or to make me hesitate in using pain releif if needed or having an EMCS and other interventions if that's what's required to keep me and baby safe. If all does go smoothly (or even if it doesn't!) though I would like to have some of these techniques up my sleeve to support me if anyone can recommend something?
