Prenatal Yoga: Doulas and Husband’s Support for an Easier Labor

As I stated in my previous two blogs the three factors that made my natural labor completely do-able were the yoga breath, visualization, and my husband and doulas support.  For my second labor I had two doulas.  I met them on the day I gave birth.  They were both very supportive, kind, and had different techniques that worked well together.  For example, at one point I was sitting on a birthing ball.  One doula pressed firmly on my low back, while the other would coach me with encouragement.  She’d say, “great job, keep the focus on your breath”.  My husband was great too.  He was seated, facing me and leaned foward.  I had my arms on his shoulders and he looked into my eyes and continued with words of encouragement.  The support gave me the strength and belief that I could deliver my baby natural.  It was very powerful!
