I keep reading about how to do it but I just don't get it. Last time nobody helped me or showed me how to do it when I was giving birth - which is waht some books say - don't worry about it, the midwives will tell you. I have realised that I hold my breath when in pain which is not good I know. What are the different types for different stages? How do I breathe through a contraction? Is it as simple as just not holding your breath and breathing long and slow?
I am getting nervous, Klaw can you come and be my midwife please !!
