Birth mantra Monday. The breath is soooo important during labour. I know I’ve said it time and time again, and I’m going to keep repeating it! If you’re able to control your breathing, you’ll be able to cope so much better with the waves of contractions. Thinking that you are breathing your baby down and out can be a helpful thing to picture during the peak of your contractions. Imagery is always helpful when you need to focus. And during labour is a time you definitely need to focus! #babytalk
